6F bullshit

[Nzpure]

So next month i can sit my full because i will have turned 25 allowing me to shorten my time to 6months.
I have held my 6R for 9 months now, Thought i would be pre-emptive to assure i get my full as soon as i can and get out and about on my harley which has been sitting in my driveway now for 6 months (yes i know im a good boy)
Tryed to book online...Whats this apprently i still have another 9months to wait...? So i ring up to query this fact. No No the woman say's, at 25 you can do your full after holding you 6R for 6 months....I reply with well i have held it for 9months and it wont let me. To this she replies, oh sorry your only 24 at present and will not be able to book untill you are 25..... I said i was intending to sit my licence after i'm 25 obviously....She replied no sorry even still you cannot book until you a 25.....Ok i reply, How are the bookings looking. She replies at current march still has spots but the way its going you will be looking at end of april or may.......:shit::facepalm:

This is bullshit i can't pre-book its frikken pathetic:angry:

ok so rant done.

*world's smallest violin plays*

[neels]

Yep, had the same thing with both of my kids. Couldn't book to do a learner licence because they weren't 15 yet, even though we were trying to book a test for after their birthdays.

Computer says no *cough*

[PirateJafa]

Book it outside a large urban centre. I tried booking in Auckland "Oh, there's a 6-week waiting list, sorry."

Called the AA in Pukekohe "Sure, how does in three days time suit?"

[Scuba_Steve]

I would not be surprised if this was a legislation thing, we tend to put retarded things in like this :yes:

You have to give them full marks for the way they ensure you have to serve as much time on the restricted as they can squeeze out of you. :laugh:

I understand your need to rant but, sorry, it is a bit like someone slipping on a banana peel. Not sure if it is amusing because of the number of times similar things have happened to me or relieve its not me.

Guess you are lucky she didn't say you couldn't sit until 6 months after you turned 25, which is another way to look at the rule. That it is a concession to those that have been on the restricted for 6 months whilst being 25. Now that would hurt.

Oh i checked the whole do i have to sit it for 6 months after i turned 25 before i bought the harley lol.

[Bassmatt]

In 1985 I tried to book my lisence test before I turned 15, for a date after I had turned 15, and wasnt alloewd to, so nothing new there.

[Milts]

Book it outside a large urban centre. I tried booking in Auckland "Oh, there's a 6-week waiting list, sorry."

+1 to this. I sat my full in Palmerson North even though I live in Wellington - avoided the huge waiting list.

[baffa]

Yeah there is a huge delay as everyone is trying to sit their test before the rules change.
I had to book a month after I was due to sit the test. Which is really annoying after paying for a defensive driving course to shorten the time.

[BurningPlastic]

I ended up doing the same after trying to book in Wellington city - I ended up just going through the list of test centers, moving away from Welly until I found one that had a free test within a week...

[oneofsix]

+1 to this. I sat my full in Palmerson North even though I live in Wellington - avoided the huge waiting list.

sitting the test in Palmy Nrth, why would you?

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I thought "Sweet, turning 25 will cut my Restricted waiting time down by half" Tried both on the net and by calling to book it for the day of my birthday. Found out I couldn't actually make the booking until my birthday.
Ended up being about 6 weeks after that I finally was able to sit the test.

[sleemanj]

If you wait until March, the full test and restricted test are swapping places effectively, which will save you a few dollars. Don't know if you book now for a test after Feb if you will pay the lower post-Feb rate, but I wouldn't count on it.

Class 6 (motorcycle) restricted licence tests
On 27 February 2012 changes will be introduced to graduated driver licensing system for motorcycles.
The restricted licence test will become longer and the full licence test will be shorter. In effect, both the test (and the test fees) will swap.

[sil3nt]

I say take the risk and ride your Harley.

[avgas]

Book it yesterday so you can live in the future.

[mossy1200]

Does a advanced drivers course still cut licence waits in half im sure i had 3months learners and maybe even 6months rstricted.Its been 23 years since I did mine so dont hassle my memory guys.

[GingerMidget]

Yep, had the same thing with both of my kids. Couldn't book to do a learner licence because they weren't 15 yet, even though we were trying to book a test for after their birthdays.

You do realise they still have over a year to wait? minimum learner age is now 16. Not 15. Minimum restricted age is 16 and 6 months. Minimum full age is 18 unless a defensive driving course has been done.

He did say had a problem .... as in past tense ...

[rastuscat]

Wrote a bloke a ticket today for riding a new Fireblade on a 6R. He as all over me about how he can sit his full in 2 weeks time, he is a racer, he's a fantastically safe rider, blah, blah, blah.

So I gave him 4 weeks to email me with the news that he is then on a full, and I'll can the ticket.

Can't get over how many people expect the privileges of being licensed without actually having jumped through the hoops.

Yup, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

People should expect a penalty when they break the rules set by the gubbermint on behalf of the population who voted them in.

That's mine.

Sorry Scoober. The gubbermint is reflective of all the people who voted, so represents you even if you didn't vote for them. You might have voted for the team that came second or third, but it's the team that won that No argumen gets to make the rules, even for those that didn't vote for them.

Still, happy for you to believe in your right to disagree, coz I disagree with some of them too. No disagreement there.

But I comply with the rules I don't agree with, coz I respect the authority of those who we collectively elected, even if I don't agree.

Like, I think it's nonsense to have to wear a cycle helmet once you're over the age of 18. I think I should still have a choice. I think it has been counter-productive, as it has discouraged cycling as a fitness thing. But I still wear one when I'm riding.

Expecting the world to revolve around me has failed to work most times, so I don't do it any more.

Glum, being too bloody sensible. Sorry.

Your name aint Barry is it?

Try the sockburn/wigram AA. It's tucked around by the city rubbish tip. When I've done tests there, it's been only a couple of weeks wait.

I'd be keen to meet up and have a look at your bike by the way.

[Nzpure]

Nah mate the names tim, Yea i did my restricted there because the sydeham aa was not doing licences because of the quake.
You'll see me harley about soon its cadbury purple hard to miss lol. Was gunna take it out to goon because im buying some panniers out there,

legally you don't have to wear a helmet (remembering it's how it's written NOT the intent of the law that matters), you have to have one with you but you don't have to wear it... well, at-least not when I was checking the law to look for a way out of wearing 1 last year sometime, so unless they've changed it since then...

Nope sorry scrap that just rechecked you do have to wear one (however it never says it has to be on your head)... I'm still not about to tho :p

Good luck wearing it anywhere other than on your head. A $55 instant fine or fight it and risk a $1000 fine ...

Bicycle helmets have been mandatory in New Zealand since January, 1994.[1] The statute, delineated in Part 11 of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 (SR 2004/427), states that "A person must not ride, or be carried on, a bicycle on a road unless the person is wearing a safety helmet of an approved standard that is securely fastened." The law describes six different acceptable helmet standards.[2]

Violating the law can result in a $55 infringement fee and a maximum $1,000 penalty on summary conviction.[3]

I got away with a couple of months riding my 400 on my restricted. It's not exactly hard to operate a vehicle without getting pulled over. Don't know what my mates do to complain about the cops all the time.

[bsasuper]

The youth of today, want everything and expect everything handed to them on a silver platter, yet dont want to do the work to earn it.

Whats wrong with doing it by the book and waiting till you have your birthday, if it could be done like that, id be asking for my super now, as I will be turning 65 in the future.

and see not once does it say the helmet must be on your head, just says you must be wearing 1 & it must be securely fastened not once does it say it must be on the head as such it would be quite easy to comply with the law without the need to strap the piece of polystyrene to your head.
You'll also notice it's illegal to wear a superior motorbike helmet while riding a deadly peddle.
But this is another thread topic

As for licencing I have mixed feelings. If our system wasn't such a money grab I would agree whole hartedly that people without the right licence should be done.
But as our licenceing system is such an EPIC failure on every level, I'm not really sure if I care if people have a licence or not. People can either drive or they can't, licences in NZ don't represent that in anyway, they just showed the person had money & can see letters this big

HaHa me father in-laws been trying the same tac since i bought it lol.
It may go back up on trade soon tho, Done a few little things to it but not much. Bought the bike sight unseen,
was new to riding just had to buy it the listing was rather misleading so it went crazy cheap so had to get it. Unfortunatly wasn't aware how small they are.
Being 6'3" it looks like a wee 250 when im sitting on it, I'll put some k's on the clock and see how i feel before i sell it tho.

He failed to give way to a car. No near miss, just a technical breach. I was just going to have a friendly chat, but then the licence thing came up.

Stopped a bloke today who has a full car, but no bike licence. No reg or warrant either. 250 Katana, old school. Chain was a rusty wreck, but the rest of the bike was very tidy, considering it's vintage.

Have given him 3 weeks to get the licence, WoF and reg or he'll have $700 worth of invoices appearing in his mail box. I'm about to start hassling him by text too, so he'll not forget.

My judgement was that this individual will actually do it, that's why he got the offer.

Remember that the POpo is under NIL obligation to do that sort of thing, so please don't start quoting it to the next Popo who stops you. In fact, probably I could get in the doo for it, but I'd rather he got fully legal than spent his dosh on fines.

Why get angry about something that everyone has to go through.

Because its fuking pathetic you cannot pre-book a test until you are actually eligible to do the test....For those who have an absolute cunt of a boss and need to book the time well ahead to get the time off to do the fucking thing....its fuckin bullshit....hundreds of c*nts riding around without the right licence those of us who wait paitently are punished....everyone knows how painful it is in those last few weeks before you can do your licence and to find out that you have to wait another 2 months.......thats why im angry....

Because its fuking pathetic you cannot pre-book a test until you are actually eligible to do the test....For those who have an absolute cunt of a boss and need to book the time well ahead to get the time off to do the fucking thing....its fuckin bullshit....hundreds of c*nts riding around without the right licence those of us who wait paitently are punished....everyone knows how painful it is in those last few weeks before you can do your licence and to find out that you have to wait another 2 months.......thats why im angry....http://s1.static.gotsmile.net/images/2011/10/13/waaambulance_131849927469.jpg

A) no they don't, plenty of people are not disadvantaged by a 6R and are not in a hurry to pay the money and move to 6F when it has no clear adavantage. Nothin' wrong with a good 250.
B) you could ring around other testing places and find somewhere with an earlier booking available, they can't be ALL booked out until May.

Short of going to kaikoura yes they are....

Short answer. Book it online. Thats what I did to sit my 1R. I booked it over amonth before I was eligible, and then had a month to sort leave and someone to accompany me to the actual test. Then I had a month to iron out my bad habits.

Maybe not everyone but MOST people 6'3" and over are gagging to get their 6F.....my little 250 is great....can't do 100km/h in a head wind or going up a hill however.

There are valid legal exemptions in place now ... for larger members of the population. This exemption allows the rider to use an approved larger capacity motorcycle.

After you have had your licence for 6months....I have had my licence for 9 months just turned 25 which means i can go for my full which means they wont grant it.
