Restricted licence course
Forgive me for being a dumb arse but I understand that Son can do a riding course which will cut down his restricted licence time. Can any one tell me what it is called...what is involved...roughly how much...and where he can do it in the mighty Waikato?
When I did my licence I just rode around the block!....and it shows
Thanks guys

Hi Krusti... I'm not too sure where you can get it done, but I hear that "Pass Right (Rite?)" that do lessons for cars/trucks licenses, they also do the advanced rider safety course, which reduces your time. If I remember correctly it costs $200+. It would be better if you posted this question in the main "General" section. Not too many bikers (the ones that have done the course) look in the 250 section.Originally Posted by Krusti

Defensive driving course cuts 6 months off, that costs between $50 and $120 depending. Any of your local driving schools can do that. That takes about 2 hours a night for 3-4 nights (sometimes spread over weeks)
Some places, (auckland, wellington, christchurch) can do a CBTA course ($200-$250) which takes a full day. This cuts 9 months off your restricted period.
If you're over 25, it cuts off even more. defensive driving still cuts off 6 months (I think, I'll just go check) and CBTA course means you can go for your full straight away.

yeah, the CBTA for an over 25 cuts it off completelyf you are under 25 years of age, you can apply for your full licence once you have held a restricted licence for 18 months. This time can be reduced to 12 months if:
* you have completed a driving course approved by the Director of Land Transport Safety; and
* you began the course no less than 6 months after receiving your restricted licence.
If you are aged 25 or over, you can apply for your full licence once you have held a restricted licence for 6 months. This time can be reduced to 3 months if you have completed a driving course approved by the Director of Land Transport Safety.

The CBTA course will cut his time down from 6 months on the learners to 4 months and costs $285 - but you only save 2 months......
The restricted to full costs the same $285 and halves the term from 18 - 9 months. -But I think you need to hold your restricted for at least 9 months before you apply.
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Just throwing in a question here......
- Does that make a difference if say the young fella is well under the age of 18... will they still do it for someone so young.
- Will that put the cost up more for him, being so young.
Krusti's lad is still very young.
I reckon that Josh is itching to get rid of that yellow tag hanging off the back of his bike.

Hi fella er ra ....
How many demerits are you allowed to have before they say sorry sonny you have to do the full 18 months?

They are pretty strict. Don't know the exact number. However all applications are handled on an individual basis.

Gee he has not long just brought the 250.....
Whats the rush to get a bigger bike ?
Do you think he is really ready yet to go onto a bigger bike...
or do you think he should wait out till the time is legal to do it...
Is it the time factor or is it easier to pay the money to get it sooner.
You know how he rides etc... as he has ridden many kms with you.
Yep I know he has been riding for some time, even longer on farm bikes.
I sometimes wonder if the young ones are just wanting to get onto the bigger bikes to just be like the big boys.... and maybe they are rushing it too fast.
And can they really handle all that extra power from the bigger bikes.

As soon as he is allowed he will probably trade up...Personally I would say he is a quicker and more mature rider than alot of guys 3 times his senior. He has not only ridden with me but also with a couple of my mates who are very good riders who have taken him under their wings.
As long as he shows maturity I'm behind him 100%.....and normally I am!
Speaking of power.....his 250 will sit with my 1000 and tops out 220 plus...it's a rocket.
The two of us have just finished building his car....not bad for a cow cockie
