Forced licence progression

[scumdog]

"there is no quota" NZ police & police minister said for years, until one day... "oh yea there was a quota, but don't worry we got rid of it. It's called KPA's now"

Splittin' the pubes ScooberSchteve!!

As many have said: IF the potb said yep, there's a quota would people rabbit on as much??

NOOOooo, but they like moaning about semantics, - go the semantics, they're of paramount importance, oh yeah baby, we scree!!wed 'em but good, we PROVED there was a quota, we made a difference, oh yeah, we da man!!

Something else to think about... This came up somewhere else on the same topic.
Some people get their licence simply for photo ID (as this is "essential" in todays world) they don't own a vehicle, might have no intention of ever getting one but use their licence as their much needed photo ID

[red mermaid]

That is not the intent of the document so its tough luck for them.

Tell em to fuck off and get a 18+ card.

Problem solved!

Then what is the intent? cause from where I'm sitting ID is very much a licences modern day purpose

cept the 18+ card has limited use, do you boys allow it as ID even???

[red mermaid]

Its called a drivers licence so obviously the intent of the document is as a record of your drivers licence.

Quite simple really...Was that the problem for you?

My first ID of choice is always my Firearms licence,,,,plus I mutter "Motherfucker" and give a nice smile as I hand it over.

Much like your first Post,,,you lack imagination,,,,loser !

Actually wanker steve has a point in that the photo licence/national photo ID was a trade off against the lowering of the drinking age at the time,,,,,so how's that worked out?

Just another example of NZ's over all sell out political system.

'Cept it's not 'Official I.D." as far as the pubs go...frickin' queer as since the Firearms Licence is harder to get, go figure.

There is a chance that she could pass it 1st hit but it more of a case of meh cant be fucked paying for it we have other bills ... I also have more licences that I need to get, I have 1,2,6 but need 4 & 5 ( once again a fuck ton more money jumping hoops to be legal to drive )

well dont grizzle when she gets a ticket for driving without an appropriate licence, which will incidentally be a bigger waste of money than paying to get a licence

[Akzle]

Fuck I'd like to see you in court. That would be my entertainment for a whole month

normally don't spend that long there. haven't been in a while (getting better at avoiding it). i'll invite you next time i get invited.

Classic case of "Do as I say, not as I do."

nono. most days i do not carry a license. it stays in a safe bolted to the floor at home. i happened to get some before i figured out the system was a crock of shit. (1R 6L if anyone cares) and when i had more cash than sense. most cops (outside auckland - auckland cops are dicks) are pretty good about it. either fuck off, or look it up on the computer (if i tell them that all important name.
this hurry-up will be good, because i'm waiting for it to expire anyway.

yeah, 18+ card. NZ is one of the few countries where a driving license is accepted as defacto ID, most other places require passport etc.

cops have to accept anything with your name and birthdate as ID, i've also been told WINZ cards count as they're govt issued though afaik don't have that all important d.o.b

No they don't - and I don't.

Told by whom?

[bosslady]

Five years is a very generous amount of time for people to gain the skills and save the money to progress to their next class of licence. People put themselves through university, appreticeships to gain much higher, harder to achieve qualifications in less time.

agree

She needs to be accessed as being competant otherwise the whole system is pointless. Much like the reason you would take your bike to a qualified mechanic rather than the guy who has just been doing it for a while.

agree

I'm concerned about sharing the road with someone who having never proven their competent just assumes it.

agree



I really don't understand what there is to whinge about. Money? I had two kids to pay for, worked 55hr weeks, ate noodles, paid for my full, sure as fark didn't whinge about it. You can find the money if you try though it ain't always easy but you're pretty fucked in general if in 5 years you can't find that amount of dosh? If people want to be a part of our society and live in our country you got to abide by the rules and face the consequences if you don't. Let's face it though, it's less about the money and more about people being f*cking lazy. Get over it, save the money, get organised and make the time. Excuses, excuses...
