Restricted Licence HELP ME

[knight rider]

I've had my Learner licence for 6 months now so have booked my restricted licence for Friday16th. I'm nearly pooing in my pants as I am so nervous about sitting it as I have no idea what they will be looking for as i ride. I have been told 3 things what not to do

* Do not lane split
* Do not drag any wana be boyracers at the lights
* Do not pull weelies (yes I can weelie my cbr250rr)

Anyone know what I SHOULD do? I've also been told to

* check my blind spot by indicating, checking my mirror & then turning my head to the side to make sure no ones there then turning into the right lane.
* don't put my foot on the ground until the bike has come to a full stop first.

Anyone whos has recetly sat their restricted please give me some advice. Especially if you failed on something let me know so I don't make any mistakes.

Thanks kiwi bikers

Both feet on the ground, check your streets and stay on the speed limit

[Motu]

Is that you Hoff?? Make sure you get a woman tester and ride the bike with your shirt off....it's always worked for you before....

[blacksheep]

lots of lifesaver/looking over the shoulder stuff,indicate for every manouvere you do ,probably the hardest thing is not losing the instructor who will be in a cage(why can't they use bikes)good luck you will be fine,just relax .

[knight rider]

do I put both feet on the ground at the same time or my left one first & right one last? as the right foot is on the rear brake. also when accelarating do I lift both feet off the ground at the same time?

Dont cut corners when turning into sidestreets - or turning out of sidestreets

[ZeroIndex]

damn.. sounds like i'm gonna breeze this at the end of august.. i should book it soon.. (to avoid disappointment).. oh wait.. nothing on my restricted will be different..

[crashe]

Stopping - put both feet on the ground and make sure the bike aint moving at all.

Indicating - Make sure you do it and then turn them off. Especially at roundabouts when exiting them.

Speed - Keep to the correct speed limit.

Lanes - Stay more to the middle of the lane, rather than to the far left or near the white line.

Lights - Stop even if they turn ORANGE and especially when they are RED.
They can fail you for failing to stop on a orange (depending on the tester)

Mirrors - Check them regularly - cos the tester may be in a car and indicating to you ahead of time. Also if the taking off place is in a parking lot, use indicators in there as well and exiting the parking lot.

L Plate - Make sure it is on your bike BEFORE you go there.

Polite - Be damned polite to the tester when you greet them, but dont over do it thou.

License - Have it on you and also a ph bill or something like a ph bill with your home address on it.

Bike - Make sure it has a current Rego'd and current WOF on it. Also make sure everything is working and nought is hanging off it.

Take off - Take a few deep breathes before you take off and have fun.

Good luck its a breeze and you will pass no sweat.

[chickenfunkstar]

Go out and practice riding 100% legally, like you would in the test. You'll probably be surprised at the 'bad' habits you've got into without even realising.

..or work for dx-mail: despite the racing along footpaths at 30km/h, and jumping off footpaths, smoking it up on the grass, etc, everything else fits 100% legal, especially indicating, and checking spots (driveways, etc)

by cutting corners do you mean going from right to left of the lane? or going to close to the edge?

[knight rider]

do i put both feet on the ground at the same time or one quickly after the other? I tend to always put my left foor down first as my right foot is on the brake

[Str8 Jacket]

Mate I was just like you before I went for mine a month agp. The test really is a peice of piss, just like everyone told me..... Once you get started you'll probably laugh at yourself for being so nervous. I had an earpeice for mine and the guy followed me in the car. He would tell me what lane to be in when going into roundabouts etc. You'll be fine just stop like you normally would and then once you've changed to neutral or stopped put your other foot down till you start again. Hey if I can pass you'll be sweet!

[knight rider]

did you use to own a 250?

Ah, you might be thinking of someone else. I wrote my 250 off about 9 months ago...

[bell]

All good advice there. My examiner greeted me with "Right, let's make this a quick one shall we?"....it was the last test on a Friday afternoon naturally. Tried to book the same bloke, same time for my Full test in a week or two. No such luck.

Best advice I can give for a test situation is probably that you make your head movements really obvious when checking mirrors and doing your shoulder checks. I can quite happily check my mirrors just by moving my eyes but I've been warned that the examiners like, or rather need, to see your head moving (cos they sure as hell won't see just your eyes moving...).

Yeah, relax, just ride as legally as possible. Really try not to go over the limit, even by 3 or 4 k. Remember that their speedo may say 56 when yours is reading 53. You know what I mean?

Best of luck. Any other q's just ask.:yes:

[knight rider]

Ah, you might be thinking of someone else. I wrote my 250 off about 9 months ago...

ohh no hope you didn't get hurt

[metric]

a couple of things I tried to remember, dunno if listed already:

* not to travel faster than 50kph
* check my mirrors and move my head (shoulder checking too)
* if asked about hazards include the instructor as one
* give room for the instructor to pull out too
* @ stop signs, put both feet down in neutral

hope that helps

edit:

but the test itself? not too bad... I remembered everything I needed to - funny thing was, teh instructor told me about three times prior to leaving that I could NOT lose him in traffic or he'd fail me - so at a roundabout I ended up waiting for approx 45sec (seemed like ages more) for a break in the traffic... we get back and he's like "Hesitated at that roundabout didn't you?" uh no I just did NOT want to lose you in the traffic...

[knight rider]

putting both feet down in neautral? can I just hold the clutch in?

[Str8 Jacket]

ohh no hope you didn't get hurt

Umm, well kinda but not really... I was wearing jeans when I wrapped myself and the bike around a pole out the back of Martinborough. Got lots of drugs and gas and stuff and felt great for the rest of the night -felt awful the next day. Severe bruising but no permenant damage from that accident (my brain was fucked years ago) - I was really lucky!

is that the reason for the 150? at least yoour still alive. Hopefully thats a god thing :)

Yeah im glad im alive, not sure everyone else is though..... (p/t)

When my insurance paid out they kinda of forgot a few hundred dollars so I had a tight budget and that was the best for the money I had at the time. That and I loved the thought of having a 2 stroke. I fell in love with it as soon as I rode it!

[speights_bud]

Hey knight rider, hope al goes well for ya. The test is pretty easy, just chill out and be aware of your surroundings, forget the which foot to take off the ground first stuff. Just make sure you do stop and put a foot down.

When did my restriced about 2 months ago i was actually given the FULL license test and it took just over an hour. I passed it 100% so was like uh ok wtf?. The testing officer then issued me with a temporary FULL license:yes: . Strange. So it appeared i'd gone from learner to full licence for some reason?? but as i found out the plastic card in the licence came in as a restricted. Took all the paperwork into the ltsa and had a bitch about it all to them wasting my time (extra time off work) etc and they said they couldnt do anything about it. Garr.. Then made her make some phone calls.. with no result.. Stupid woman even tore up my temporary one:bye:
Ok im over it now.

Sorry bout that KNight rider, good luck:first:

[knight rider]

Thank god for insurance aye.

[Drum]

Youve already had all the technical advice KR.

My advice is to relax. Just think of it as an easy 20 minute ride.
The hardest thing is to stay under the speed limit. And even that is easy for just 20 minutes.

I guarantee you will laugh at yourself afterwards for being so worried.

Let us know when you pass. Coz you will.

lmao some people are just plain old stupid. Yeah I think the most mportant thing for me is to just relax & not to think about what I'm doing but rather just do it naturally as I would normally. One thing I do need to practise is maybe not accelarate too hard as I may fail my licence because of it lol

[megageoff76]

The only thing i would add is if they take you on the motorway you stick to the learners 70kph. I know i had to recalibrate my brain for that one.

lol that's a good one. I hope I don't have to go on the motor way

[crashe]

Questions you asked re stopping:

If you have put the bike into 1st gear, then yes, keep your clutch in as you won't want to stall the bike. As it can be hard to get the bike into neutral.

But place both feet on the ground - yes one foot at a time, but do place them both down, so that the instructor can see them both.

But you must wait so that the bike is still without a movement.
Pretend that you are waiting on a car to go past even if there isnt one there.


Motorway - stick to 70km and do not go over that speed limit.

Mirrors - Definitely move your head so that it is obvious that you are checking your mirrors.


If you think you have lost your tester, STOP and wait for him to catch up.

If you lose him completely, and he/she goes back to the start off point without you, it aint good.
So always keep the tester in your view.

[knight rider]

crashe your the best :)

[ZeroIndex]

if you have a plain color helmet (black), it may be a good idea to put a little colored sticker (like a dot) in the back/middle of your helmet, so the instructor can see you move your helmet when you check (read that somewhere before, not in this post)

[Gremlin]

I won't say for sure, but I would very much doubt you going on the motorway for the test.

I believe thats in the full license test...

[Fisherman]

Sounds all a little more serious up there then down here. I think that if you manage to ride around the course without falling off you pass. Mind you when it snows and freezes down here ...... All the testers ive heard about and have had, have been good and im fairly sure they take the attiude that if you want to ride a bike they arent going to stop u. Its your life right?

[Gremlin]

...Its your life right?
yeah, and here they like to stop you leading it, well, thats if you aren't living it to their way of thinking...

Of course, because they sit on their arses all day, and get fat salaries for it, means they know much more about our life than we do.... :weird:

[Fisherman]

I'm confused, you mean that the guy who followed me in the vintage honda city doesnt know more about riding a bike than everyone?

[T.W.R]

Hope it all goes OK :yes:

But I'm supprised no-one has said about following distances, even when pulling up at intersections. Don't follow to closely & don't sit to close behind at intersections either.

Just relax on the test & if you've got a dark tint or iridium visor it may pay to keep the visor up whilst doing the test then at least at intersections & when stopped you can make eye contact with the tester in the mirrors (coz he'll/she'll be looking).

Yep, thats an important one!
Give cars in front heaps of space.

Hopefully you get a biker for your test.
I sat mine in the Hutt and the tester was a maori fella on a GSXR600.
Before the test he said something like "I like to take it nice and casual - you fellas know what youre doing".
Afterwards he said "well - I cant give you any pointers - see you out on the road".

Nice fella. Hope I get him for my full.

god point. I have a tinted one so will keep it up cheers

[crazybigal]

Its not that bad!

1, dont be late! i was, got stuck at a crash site for 20min on my way to the test!

when riding, make sure your looking all the time, down each street as you pass them, to check for cars pulling out.

Use your mirrors! and look when changing lanes.
I put a sticker on the back of my helmet so he could see my head moving easer.
Practice doing U turns in a narrow street, should be able to do it without putting your feet down.

dont forget to indicate in and OUT of a roundabout!

you know the rest, no speeding, dont go to slow either!

you will Ace it dont worry

[ZeroIndex]

about that.. if you still have the clear one at home, put that on your helmet (when you put your L plate on your bike).. there's nothing worse than catching a bug in the eye when someone is watching..

when going straight through a round about do I only indicate on the way out? or in & out?

[Drum]

Only on the way out mate (when going straight through). And you start indicating once you are already past the first exit lane (if that makes sense).
If you have to turn to the right (round the 'about) and then left to exit - you indicate both.

Unless youre driving a cage, in which case you just indicate in a random manner which has no relationship to the way youre turning.

[Drum]

Why not go for a 1/2 hour ride before hand to relax and get "in the swing".

[knight rider]

yeah thats a good idea

[marty]

someone just said it, but i'll say it again - DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF YOUR INDICATORS

[Squeak the Rat]

Indicators - good call.

If you're worried about practicing, see if you can find some one who can follow you on a bike or in a car, brief them on what they should be looking for and do a couple of test runs.

Eg, Dad, bro, friend, etc, please make sure that:
I don't go over 52km.
I have to put both feet down at a stop sign
I need to look at my mirrors all the time, especially when turning (and check blind spot!)
I need to turn off my indicators within 50m after turning
I need to indicate even when starting of from a car park
etc etc

Just a thought, but it might make practice a bit more realistic.

Or it could be a waste of time as you'll probably breeze through anyway.

Either way, best of luck mate and let us know how you get on.

Go Kawasaki!

[bell]

Someone care to explain this "both feet down ata stop sign" business please?
Clearly, to come to a full stop you don't have to have both feet down. I read somewhere else that you should have the bike in neutral at a stop sign too. Thoughts on that one too would be appreciated. I do my Full test in a week or so. thanks.

[Ixion]

You don't actually *have* to put both feet down. or shift to neutral.

But remember if the tester doesn't SEE you do something he'll assume you didn't do it.

One thing testers are really anal about is stopping COMPLETELY at a stop sign (because NZ drivers are so shocking bad about rolling slowly through them and not actually stopping).

So if you come up to the stop sign , put just the left foot down (right is on the brake), stay in gear, and take off again, the tester may think you didn't really STOP. Cos he can't see your left foot from behind you and to the right (his drivers seat position). And if there's nothing coming the "stopped" moment may be so short that he marks it as a non-stop.And that's a fail.

So it's about rubbing it in "See! I have really really stopped. No doubt about it." Both feet down so he can see the right foot down. And neutral to make sure that you wait long enough that you are clearly stopped. (Neutral thing applies more so in cars , again to prove the stop, but it's a good idea on bikes too. The tester won't be able to see you're in neutral, but the pause to select gear again will ensure you don't move off too quickly).

Just like moving your head when you look in the mirrors, even if you don't need to.

You have to PROVE to him that you really are doing these things.

[bell]

Yep. alll well put Ixion. Hadn't considered the driving position of the examiner until you mentioned it.

[Nicksta]

hey dude... good luck.. i sat mine not so long ago....
just chil and enjoy it... the testers are cool, i stalled once and he was like, dont worry..

only thing i haven't read yet is about stopping to "park". At one point they will ask you to pull over and stop... generally this is to test your parking skills... just remember to pull up and back into the kerb... that is all they want to see....

Have a good one.. and its not as long as you think.. i worried myself over nothing about my restricted test too!

[Squeak the Rat]

I did my test in the UK. I was told that I would be failed for putting both feet down.

Advised by instructor to put left foot down, have right foot covering back brake. Change feet if necessary to change gear.

And regarding the visor thing, people get failed for riding with visors open in the UK also.

Curious huh. I think it makes more sense, but do what needs to be done in this country.... :rockon:

I agree with the foot thing.. if it's on a slight rise or dip, I'm keeping my foot on right foot on the rear brake.. it's a safety issue..

[knight rider]

what about after stopping with both feet on the groud do i bring both feet up at the same time or one after the other?

I normally bring both feet up at the same time just as the bike satrts to accellerate. hope the tester doesn't expect me to do one at a time e.g putting right foot up first so can brake hard incase of emergency or something

Both feet at the same time should be fine.. to me, if you always ride like that, you will get confident in that manner, and the instructor will notice that, and that should be the main thing.. <--does anyone else agree?

[Gremlin]

you will get confident in that manner, and the instructor will notice that, and that should be the main thing.. <--does anyone else agree?
To an extent... if you listen to everything the tester tells you afterwards, you'd most likely be dead. Take on board the reasonable advice, yes.

When he tells you to ride on the left side of the road, I politely told him to take a hike. When he suggested a position just left of centreline, he got told the same thing (undertaking).

For the restricted, it is the first time they are assessing your practical skills when riding on the road. They want to see you riding in a defensive manner (you may be in the right, but you are still watching out for trouble), look comfortable, and in control of the bike at all times (this includes speed). You should be curteous, and iirc, you gain marks for helping other motorists (letting them in, etc).

[speights_bud]

When i did my test my front brakes packed a sad, even the lightest touch resulted in the brakes violently grabbing. Not such a good thing, so the back brake had to step in where necessary. (flushed out brake lines with new fluid and problem solved)

[knight rider]

I have taken off the front guard that goes over the wheel as it has a bad scratch on it & it is getting painted. Will I fail for not having it on my bike?

I'm sure this has been discussed before, and I'm pretty sure the answer was yes, you legally require a front mudguard for wof. Whether the tester is up on the play re that, who knows...

will see if I can find it... but dunno...

edit: FINALLY... (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=24510&highlight=guard+wof) seems the concensus was no, its illegal. If the tester doesn't know tho... you MAY be lucky.

[knight rider]

thanks gremlin

what about a radar detector? I have one on my bike at the moment should I take it off? also take the wires out until I've sat the test or is it ok to leave it on?

wires would probably be fine, but taking the unit out could be a safer choice..

I passed with flying colours. The only advice the intructor gave me was to indicate a bit longer before turning. I was all worried about nothing. The test was easy peasy only took about 15/20 mins. My mate who borrowed my bike & has only ridden it once before the test pased as well. it was so easy I couldn't believe it.

Just wana say a big THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for all the encouragement & support you have all given me. Where would I be without you guys? You all rock :)

Hehe. More power! :doobey: The CBR is probably worth as much as the GSXR in the current market. Just yanking your chain about the racing. I've always thought a good CBR would be a sweet way to get into streetstock racing and build some skills. Probably would struggle against the 150 two strokes but what a learning curve. :yes:

[knight rider]

maybe if I stuck a turbo on the cbr & a few engine mods it'll be the fasteset 250 in NZ lol. & I can sit my full licence onit hahahaha
