    Thumbs up Smashed restricted license

    Done it, 6months and 2 days after Learners. Now the long wait for full, curses.
    Non the less, stoked. Found it really easy, was nervous at first but instructor(ian at VTNZ, Whangarei) was friendly and clear with instructions.

    Took about 10 minutes, mostly city driving with lots of intersections and a small stretch of road at 80speed limit but i went 70 anyway(which he didnt note about).

    Said all was good and guessed score at 93, lots of indication, blindside checking and always putting both feet down when stopping. Ended up being pretty sweet, was not hard and wont be if you're a confident rider


    Good luck to everyone else!

    Haha, agreed. Every now and again when a cop used to pass me i would feel sketchy driving too late, without plates etc. Cant wait to get my full so i can get a new bike though

    Well done - enjoy the freedom.

    Thats pretty what my instructor said when I was doing my restricted. He couldn't find any fault with my actual riding, but he said that I should be a little more aware of my surroundings while riding.

    I have heeded his advice and should actually thank him for it. Helped me avoid a near collision.
