Forced licence progression

[scumdog]

They are. Biggest user of driver licence database is Vodaphone.

Cancel your licence!

Well, most of the pubs I go to don't have wheels And neither do the banks I go to, would be a bit of a security flaw I'd image The horse (or perhaps mermaid in this case) is dead son, let it lie.

Well ya don't HAVE to use you licence for ID at the pub

Or the bank.

It's your choice to do so...

[Zedder]

I'm not a cop ... but if you have a drivers license ... it must be carried at all times. If you are not driving at the time .... you can be asked if you have a drivers license (or other ID) to prove who you are.

If none is given ... you can be "detained" ... Fitting the description of/on suspicion of committing an offence ... until such time your identity Guilt/innocence can be ascertained.

Failing to provide the required information can lead to other charges. Including wasting Police time.
Attempting to pervert the course of justice is another favourite. As well as various obstruction charges ...

As I said ... the more that try to flout the current system ... the more likely it will happen. That simple.

I tried choosing to use a silly beard hat once, they didn't go for it, though it made me look older and everything

'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.

That's odd,,NZTA accept it an so does my bank,,,used it several times to make the ID points.

Not that it matters,I don't go to pubs or clubs anyway

The "real me" ID card system. The driver licence was a ten year patch, and it has done its dash.

We,,,all HT class holders contracted to the firm I work for have already been asked to provide information for a new Licence/ID class.

Those that have said "no thanks" have been told their contracts will not be renewed after March this year.

Simple... no ID card required. Chip people at birth...

Those in circulation (the people that is) get chipped as you catch/find them.

Another point (I don't know if anyone has brought up) is the other classes, like HT (or to a lesser extent motorcycle), which take while to get, and need an uncommon vehicle type. Could imagine there would be a few people who start licensing a class like HT when they are working with them, then change jobs, but still keep their general roadcraft skills up to date; doesn't seem there should be any reason to revoke the work they have already done on getting a license. 5 years should be long enough, but I wouldn't be surprised if they bring it in at 5 years, then drop it back to 2 a few years down the track.[/QUOTE]

This has been in the pipeline for a while. I have been sitting on my 5l for a number of years and when I renewed my license in 2010 I noticed on the back of the new license along with the expiry date for my D and F classes was listed 5l expires 2020 at next renewal.

ANOTHER incorrect assumption on KB - when will it ever end?

nono. i said something relating to the useless sacks of shit we have for politzei in NZ, you said you were in america. unless that was a deliberately misleading comment.
( i was young, and naiive, OK? i didn't know any better, now i know you're you. lawdy it'll be a fun traffic stop when we meet.)

actually.. you DO need photo ID, try getting a bank account (or anything else) without it.
funny thing is, to GET a photo ID, you take paper ID (birth registration certificate, Citizenship certificate), they take a photo, you sign it, and BAM-> photo ID. go figure, your sig-nature creates the contract.

Ask for that in writing.

[FJRider]

Ask for that in writing.

Why ... nothing illegal there.

It is just a condition of employment. Either the information they require is provided or they employ somebody else.

Those that refuse are free to find employment elsewhere.

Still not a driver licence eh...

[FJRider]

How does that work, then?

Implementation of a personal ID card would be easy. But totally optional.

Step 1. Mandatory issue to all Government employees. In most cases it already is.

Step 2. Personal ID card required for any person requiring (and prior to) ANY Government departmental assistance.

Step 3. Personal ID card for those (prior to) appearing in court. (a large percentage of step 2.)

Step 3. Wait for the rest to apply for their personal ID card.

Simple ... eh .. !!!

It was given in writing from day one,,,,what's your point ?
