New Full Licence Testing

[kazza_nz_05]

Hey Guys and Girls. Have been on my Restricted for a while and have decided its about time I should really go and sit my full Licence. Looking at booking in for August sometime.. Any tips on the new test?

Ride the bike at the speed limit. Follow directions and indicate. Shake your head to check around every now and then. If you fail you must if fallen off or done a wheel stand. The test is a joke. Don't stress. Just do it.

Hi all. Well I passed my 6F this morning in Lower Hutt. Was really good. Nothing to worry about at all. Sat at the AA in Lower Hutt, their earpiece unit was really clear and no problems hearing the instructions at all.
Heres a rundown of what we did.
Out to check over the bike, first thing the instructor said, have you got an L plate. No I don't. Instructor - This is for a Restricted licence test?. Me - Um no, I am sitting my full today. Instructor - Oh hold on for 1 sec I will go and check.. Meanwhile I am freaking out a bit. Different instructor comes out, sorry a bit of a mix-up. Will just go get me car and way we go.. Sweet.
Stalled trying to get from the carpark onto the road outside the AA. Great what a fabulous start..Heehee
Anyway headed down Waterloo road, Straight through roundabout, Straight through set of lights, Left onto Witako Street, Right onto Burnton Street, Left onto Oxford Terrace, Left at Epuni street, Right onto Witako Street, Left onto Copeland Street, Left at Kings Cresant, Right at Brunswick street - Making sure I slow to the speed limit going over the judder bars, Left onto High Street, Right at Roundabout onto Melling Road, Left at Roundabout onto Connolly street, Right onto Mills street, Drive to end of Mills street turn arond (U Turn) and then parked up behind instructors car.

I just concentrated on headchecks at each intersection, kept my speed to the limit.

No hazard IDing then?

Pretty hard when you can't talk to the instructor :P

Not really. 'Right, I want you to start remembering hazards'

60 secs later 'Pull over'

And you tell them what you saw...

Nope didn't do any Hazard IDing, but in saying that I did keep an eye out and was checking everything, looked past every intersection. Also went past a few road works etc. But it wasn't really that busy on the road either. Only real hazard was somebody crossing the pedestrian crossing at the roundabout by burgerfuel on the corner in the Hutt there, Just on BP side.
