The instructions are simple...
Each thing they test you on has a reason. You are taken into an 80kph zone to see whether you can handle that speed. At 50kph, your mate 'proved' he wasn't up to it.
BTW - as an L plater, he should (possibly) have only gone up to 70kph...that is the limit for L platers. All arguments about the sanity of this speed aside, it is on the minutiae of the law that we pass/fail...
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Wrong. You are exempted from that by law during your test.Originally Posted by MSTRS

Do the testers know that?

One would earnestly hope so. *tui*

mine did, as i double checked before we went got to it. only comment i got on that was that i should have started speeding up before the 100k sign, which technically meant breaking the law by going over 50k. i dont doubt that a cop would ping you for that.

while testing you are supposed to be with in +- 5km of the posted speed limit for that piece of road any variations to that and they can fail you.
I am pretty sure this is explained in one of the testing sheets land transport put out about the restricted test.
The only exemption to this is traffic or extreme road conditions that wil make you go slower

Nothing 'technically' about it. It would be breaking the law. Fullstop. Perhaps he was 'testing' you?

Recon she was power tripping him !!! See what happens when ya give women the vote !!! P/T
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !

Maybe the tester was a KBer in disguise and she read this post, put 2 and 2 together, and thought she should fail him as he is a disgrace for leaving his bike on its side.

I would have failed him
I also would have made him ride on SH1 along with the logging and cattle trucks doing the open road limit. They would have made him speed up a bit

the comment came after the test. thought it interesting that he told me to go over 50k coming up to a high speed zone, but he was keen to fail me on a munched l plate. backwards logic. im hoping like hell i dont get him for my full.
mini meeeeeee
You are right about being pinged for speeding up before the speed limit - can vouch for it!

When I did my restricted and full tests I planned them for peak traffic, so I couldn't speed. With my full there was a bit of drizzle and I told the tester that I would be a little slower for that reason.
I had found out the approx route ahead of time and there is a section of road getting to the motorway that is still 50 km, going downhill that most people fail their licence on so I spend about half a day practicing staying at 50 on the way down and being at 50 by the time you hit it again on the way back up. Pretty sad though, about 3 km total of open road in a 60 min test.
Come and ride the Southern Roads with us.

The cop at Kaiaua used to fill his quota that way. the 70kph limit extends for MILES out of the township. he'd wait just past the 100kph sign and ping all the bikes that opened up when they 9finally !) saw it. May still do - word to the wise.

yup.... you're actually allowed to ride at 80kms an hour in an 80kmh speed zone for the purposes of your test.
Forum whore
thought so. stupid tester.
