it seems no matter which way we turn, NZTA is screwing us out of more money ....
so main points,
- as we all know the massive increase on licencing and added demerit points
- had my licence put on hold with 2 months in credit, go to take it off and was told "hold" will only kick in once licence label expires... so that money spent disapears into thin air (nothing indicates this when doing this online) :shit:
- go to licence and now a minimum period of 3 months (meaning if i wanted to pay up to date then put it on hold couldn't - note requires licence to be current within one month of hold)
- had my car licence for around 4 years when i got my full licence, just recieved a letter saying I need to renew, checked and has my car licence expiry,
I called up and was told that as its a second licence that it goes by the first licence details,
when asked why do i miss out on a 4 of my 10 years on my motorbike licence was given this default answer adding that i hadn't paid for a renewal of my car licence therefore needed to update this.
when asked what an application fee is for i was told "it is to issue a new licence and process paper work" which is the definition given on the renewal of licence (same testing and photo update done)
so now I have no choice but to pay another fee to get my licence re-issued even though my bike licence should be valid (and is not, but would be if I didn't have a car licence )
no licence no insurance, no rego no insurance both can be considered as automatic fault in an accident.
they wonder why everyone is packing up and moving to Auz ....
