woohoo!
Haven't posted here in ages but thought I would add my story as I found it very useful trawling through the archives to read other's license testing stories.
Sat it in Palmy, VTNZ.
THe guy had an earpiece but the battery was dying... Thankfully he was really good with giving instructions and I mostly managed to remember them.
The test was actually really easy (or at least, my riding was up to scratch so it was easy). A little bit of basic riding, u-turn, hazard id, open road, u-turn, back home.
With the first u-turn it was a dead-end street and he stood and watched while I pootled up the road a little way, turned around and came back.
On the open road it was another straight-forward u-turn but with him in the car.
One thing I was trying to find in the archives was what they were looking at with this, but couldn't find it. It seems doing it with your feet on the pedals is the way (and appropriate headchecks, indication etc).
He said at the end that I scored somewhere in the 90s, and that I did some safety stuff that others were too lazy to. Like HEADCHECKS - WTF???
He also said a lot of young guys go around corners (like after a give-way) scooting on their boot.... which seems really pointless and won't win any points.
He didn't even do a pre-ride bike check!
So pleased
Now I need to sell the bike and buy a car
