When is a full license not a full license?

[sinfull]

I started at a new company a couple weeks back, In a quite senior role, On about the second day the head cheese asked me what I done in my spare time, Told him I had a road bike, He dismissed it as a death trap and got a couple affirmative nods and grunts from the other staff.

I stood up and declared myself and my bike as 50 trillion times more awesome then every pansy in the office. LMFAO.

"Than" HB "Than" ! Glad you didn't give it to them in writing !

But speaking of omisions PB, you havn't let on yet, whether the job entailed driving or for that matter, driving a company vehicle ?

I wonder if he had a full car license whether the next set of questions would have been how many speeding tickets, insurance claims or drink driving convictions he had?

I'm not implying he has any. I just wonder whether these places just tick the box or actually care how good / careful a driver you are?

The matter of whether the job entailed driving was not mentioned in the job description, and from someone "in the know" the job doesn't involved driving company vehicles despite the woman indicating in the interview that it "might".

All up, I'm over my rant; son is over the issue. The lesson I've learnt is that semantics do matter, and not to take for granted that a full bike license means you have a full NZ drivers license.

it has been happening to me since the new license cards came out, what 12 years ago?
I was sitting on my 1F,2F,4L and 6L.
So, my card was always blue.
Even cops would pull me over in the middle of the night in a car, saying it was illegal for me to drive on a learners at that time of night!
I have been turned away from many jobs, including the dept of corrections, TWICE!, for having a learners car license.
The stupid thing is, they all only look at the box up the top right hand corner that says learner, along with the general colour of the card, and it seems NOONE in the country looks at the CLASS TYPES, even the motorway police.
Now I have my 6F, but because I dont drive trucks anymore, I'll be sitting on my 4L for a while yet!. So, I guess I'm still a learner driver to the retards.

Holy crap! I never looked closely enough at his license to see if it said that. Can anyone clarify/confirm/deny that a bike only full license doesn't say "New Zealand Driver Licence"? Never thought about it till now.

I only have bike licence and mine says drivers licence!

Make it a real thread, name and shame!

It makes about as much sense as me advertising a job that requires a full license and then saying "Oh, sorry - did I forget to mention that you need to be able to ride a motorcycle?"
