Basic Skills Test - Learners

[jetboy]

I passed my Basic Skills Test the other day - mint!

Just wanted to say thanks to the guys at RiderSkills (http://www.riderskills.co.nz/) who I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to sit their Basic Skills Test. They are professional and take the time to give you helpful pointers.


:niceone: A big thumbs up from me :niceone:

Now, onto the test!

[naphazoline]

Good stuff man.:niceone:

It makes riding a whole lot more relaxed when you're legal.(Not that it stopped me before that.:Oops:)

[sil3nt]

So you had 2 CBRs and no license? Bit selfish don't yah think :bleh:

Riderskills are definately a great bunch

[twistemotion]

Congrats Tim! You shouldn't have any trouble with the written test. At least you know where to get good insurance :msn-wink:

[Fatt Max]

Well done mate, good onya...:niceone:

[Macros]

I went through riderskills too. Great bunch of guys.

[Aaron_newrider]

I failed my scratchie test today... hahaha

Questions wrong:

1) What do you do when a doctor gives you prescription medicine? Well I beleive you shouldn't really drive, but apparently you should ask him? oops

2) What is the speed limit for driving a trailor - 80kms? nah 90.... must have changed in the last 5-years

3) Where do you stop when theres a yellow line? Well I thought you should stop on it, and then creap forwards so you can see. BUT NOOO... aparently you should keep going untill you can see and then stop.

Anyway, did it again straight away and passed. :) Got my licence :)

Congrats on passing dude !
as everyone says the scratch and win is a piece of piss!
the hardest part about being on a learner licence is 70kph on the motorway
and always asking yourself when looking in the rear view mirror at all the cars behind you "should i go faster and risk the $450 +$250 fine or suck it in and remind yourself of 4months 3weeks 5 1/2days remaining"
i solve this problem by going via East Coast Rd from the shore to Puhoi
its 80 zone

[sil3nt]

Are you saying the limit for a trailer is or isn't 80kph? For as long as i can remember its been 80...

it's 90 now apparently, looks like you would have failed aswell! haha :)

[sil3nt]

I just did my learner test in march or april so lucky i didnt get that question! My trailer question was to do with lights at the back i think.

[The_Bigfella]

I went through Riderskills also back in March this year, Fantastic people and awesome service, patient, and very clear instructions / test.
Passed with flying colours, Scratchy was easy too, only failed 3 questions - Whew...
Highly recommend Riderskills !!!!

Not long now till i go for my restricted...

been on a few rides and loving it, hate the 70km/hr crap on open roads !

Anyone up Helensville way wanting to go for a weekend ride let me know.
Normally go up to KauKaupaKapa Pub or Riverhead.

cheers
