Another full licenced rider

[Ragingrob]

Well it seems to be a trend to post up when one has gained their full licence, so yippy I've got mine now!

Wont change all that much in terms of my riding:

1. I've had an exemption to ride the viffer since last July.
2. Gf's moved overseas so nobody special to pillion.
3. 10pm is past my bedtime so wont be riding anyway. :cold:

But it's the thought that counts right! :woohoo:

Did it out at Howick, could tell from the start that the tester was a good guy. Rode around town for about 10 mins, then another maybe 15 mins consisted of some hazard identification and a U-turn which was all good so the guy mentions that I've pretty much got my full but we'll head toward Whitford and unless I crash or do something really stupid we can head back to the station after 5 mins.

And that was that, only comments were "No problems there, have a good day mate".

Cheerio!

Congrats mate.

It feels good to be legal aye?

Makes for a whole lot more relaxed riding.:sunny:

No worries that even a small speeding ticket could get my exemption revoked anymore!

[Ragingrob]

Haha yep... So yeah I did play the system a bit.

1. A few months into my restricted I gained an exemption to ride the viffer, and then...

2. Managed to reduce the 18 month restriced time down to 12 months without having to do the defensive driving course a second time.

:bleh:

I guess I'm just a very persuasive person! :scooter:

How did you get the exemption for not having to do DD course twice? If i want my full this year i have to do it but i did it for my 1F and dont want to pay to do the same boring pain in the ass thing again which isnt even designed for bikes. And on another note how bout the exemption for the viffer? Congrats by the way on the license

[gijoe1313]

:niceone: Now go out and test ride some bikes! Er ... wait .. that doesn't apply to you ... good one! Now go ride after 10pm!

All I did was write into the exemptions office and pay my $22.50 or whatever it is and explain my situation, why I require the exemption and what riding/road experience I have etc etc. It's done on a case-by-case basis where I guess you can get lucky, especially if you write up your essay well enough I reckon.

DD course is easiest to explain, pretty much I've already done one just like you and because of work hours it was impossible for me to participate in another course, LTSA decided that I have enough experience with the help of doing a course like the RRRS and what not to reduce my time anyway. :yes:

Cheers :rockon:

Just because I'm not looking to upgrade doesn't mean I don't need to test ride any sexy bikes :msn-wink:
