Street Talk

Anyone know if this applies to motorcycles or is it just cages.

Both.

I'm going to have to sit it soon. 2 hrs each night for 4 nights.

I don't imagine it will be very relevant to bike riders however.

We are subject to the same laws and conditions on the roads. The reason I ask if this is applicable to motorcyclists is that there is a 'system' in place run by the LTNZ, a Government organisation. Just curious. Let's know what you find out.

6 months off of what? Are you inside at the moment Burger?

From the website: 6 months off of what? Are inside at the moment Burger?

Six months off the time from the restricted to full. It cuts the 18 month wait to 12.

Total waste of time, nothing but a rotten money making scheme.

I sat it 3 years ago for my cage license. Although the road rules are the same and I have held a full cage license for 3 years I still need to resit the very same course again for my full bike license in 4 months to shorten my full license term.

They barely ever even mention the word motorcycle.

Hahaha I should be so lucky. No, I am still working for the food on my table.

18 months!?
What did you do? Kill the pope?
I had no idea it was that long...
If you’re still alive after 6 months in Auckland traffic they should give you a medal as well as your licence!

Hahaha,

Hows' it mate. Not long till the new bikes due I hope. :)

18 months is the standard wait for under 25's.

I'd ring up the LTSA and check that. I ended up doing mine twice but was told when I went in to book my full that I had just wasted my money and the first one would cover both. I can't see it mentioned like that on the website but may be worth a check.

Had it for 6 months before attending I believe, for people our age.

[Gremlin]

I put up a thread with more info (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=30266)

Should have used the word Streettalk somewhere in there...

I was told otherwise, I'll just turn up on the booking day and see how far I can talk myself through and then see if I need to resit it.
