    Way ahead of ya already Riffer
    I was told 20 applicants in for 18 slots so I backed out to allow another to have my place this time, and Joannes boss has agreed to pay for another session in July which I have a spot reserved for

    May is just mental for me, have an event on 14/15th at Thames, got a MSAC meeting on 19th, got major time commitments already so a July course suits me far better
    Just ride.

    How do I find out if I'm on the list?

    I emailed Joanne as soon as you posted up on here, but she hasn't replied.

    So don't stop pestering them people!

    Just because the first one has filled up doesn't mean there isn't time in July!

    $200 training day for free!
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Will it count toward a reduction on my restricted licence time?

    Yep, got an email this morning with a form to fill out which I did and immediately emailed back. Got a Thank You from Joanne so I guess that means I am in (the course that is).

    John, don't despair. They're taking names now for the next one in July and that one's filling up fast too.

    No. Only a "Street Talk" (NZTA) or "Defensive Driving" (AA) course can reduce licence time

    Give Wayne & Chris a ring at A1 Driving School, Wgtn. Ph. 04 3877480
    Email: a1drive@ihug.co.nz

    & book in for the next Street Talk Course. Andrew @ Roadsafe (the trainer for these Council free courses) does the practical component of the Street Talk course for A1.. so it is done on a motorcycle.

    I do appreciate the info, but I was really only taking the piss. Had my learners for 17 years and only had a 250 for about a month. I don't think I'll get too impatient waiting four months before I am able to get my full.

    Oh..

    The courses are extremely valuable for ANYone to do, whether you are requiring licence time reduction or not.. the skills/information learned will help you be a LOT more aware of yourself & other road users, increasing your safety on the roads, regardless of what vehicle you drive!!

    The more you know.. the better it gets!!
