LTNZ *mutter*

Shiny new Full license was waiting for me in the mail when I got home from work tonight. Ripped it open, feeling happy thoughts.

Then I notice its still a "Learner" license.. Colouring, words etc all indicate its a learners license.. Some mistake I think.. But no it shows my full class 6 down the bottom.. Apparently because I only have a learners cage license I only get a learners license, despite having a full class 6..

Someone definitly needs a kicking for that logic I tells ya. I wonder if I can lay a discrimination complaint :-P

Nice - 2 things you rarely see mentioned in the same post - LTSA and Logic

My partner is in the situation of 1F and 6L. She got all excited, got a bike learners, decided it wasn't her kick and she'll never ride a bike again probably. Which means she'll never bother getting a restricted or full. So even though she's in her 30s, had a full car for years, she'll forever have a learner looking license.

Guy on the rental car desk in Brisbane did a double-take and had to have it carefully explained to him before allowing her to drive the rental car.

Yep - Happens when you have a full car licence and get your Motorbike learners as well - they colour it to the lowest qualification

[Sniper]

Sucks arse, I had that.

doesn't happen on the heavy classes for some reason :sherlock:
anywho, mines on learner blue with the 6l too. cops spend a fair while checking it over, especially with the big crease put in it by NZ post on the way to me!! :Oi:

Yup. Treaty of waitangi. You have been abused at birth, your taniwha is disabled and a drug addict, etc, etc...

Don't worry mate. The green is such an ugly colour anyway.

Yeh i still got that - although i did get the blue upgraded to yellow a few months ago.

I can't wait till I can do more than 70kph, I wonder what it'll be like travelling at such a speed? I wonder if my bike could go that fast? :scratch:

Now that you have downgraded to a Suzuki I doubt it :shit:

The killer is though, even though I cant legally ride my bike anyways, I cant ride after 10, which is a shitty bulshit rule as I am a wee bit past having a curfew, would be an expensive and point heavy night if I got pulled by a copper at night!

Some of you guys have WAAY too little going on in your lives if the colour etc of you licence is a worry, - c'mon, how many times a year do you even get it out?? (the licence, you dirty bugger!)

Hmm, sort of like motorbike rider get angry when they see cops????:motu:

The colour of the licence has never got ME too excited and most others know the score regarding licence colours.

I did only say SOME and was from personal experience, but that guy was a twat got rather angry at me when I quoted legislation exactly when he asked me a question over the loudness of my cage at the time, then procedded to jam his foot on top of mine and on to the accellerator to make the car over-rev somehow trying to prove that it was too loud, wankers like this make it hard to think nicely of cops

I had the reverse situation when I was 16/17 yrs old. I had 1F 6L.

Newbie cop got confused. One was particularly happy to have pulled me over in my car (A ~25 year old mitsubishi galant in near showroom condition.. I miss it..) with.. passengers! I let the cop go through HEAPS of radio chatter, start writing the ticket, it was all good till my passenger piped up "Hey (name), I thought you had a full car licence" at which point I had to answer "Ben, mate, I do".

Ahh... The look on his face...

We were crying with laughter at the poor copper. Not in his face mine you.

Still, I imagine he learnt his lesson.

As someone already said, they don't seem to do that for heavy vehicle classes, so obviously they think it is ok to be condescending to someone learning to drive a car or motorbike, but not a truck. It would be a brave person to send the "Congratulations, you're allowed to drive on the road. Make sure you get lots of practise!" letter to someone who just got a learner licence for 25 ton trucks.

It seems odd that they have 6 licence classes, but don't seem to expect anyone to have more than one at any time. When I got my bike licence I applied for a class 4 learners as well. The form had a little check box for "applying for additional licence class(es)" so I filled out one form for both classes. No, you have to have two forms. And I had to go through the licencing process twice. They tested my eyes twice, they took my photo twice. The person serving me was very confused, because they didn't have the faintest idea what you need to do to apply for a 4L, so I had to explain it to them. The whole process took an hour, and by the end the various people who had been serving me were so confused they forgot to ask me to pay. So I had to go back a couple of days later to pay the whole fee in cash (I figured that if I didn't pay they would cancel my licence, including the two classes I already had).

sooooo looking forward to going through it all again when I get my restricted :no:
