    Well done Gareth!

    I worked with a guy last year who, through no fault of his own, had to pay for his full licence test 5 times because of circumstances similar to yours. Twice his car broke down and he was late!

    It really is rediculous, paying a fine (say 25%) I can understand, but having to pay the full amount over and over is a bit of a con. If it wasn't a govt dept the commerce commision would be on them supafly styles.

    Congrats on the full Gareth, when is your celebratory ride? Havefun putting some legal k's on your new baby.

    Whaaa~ They should have passed you solely on the virtue of your bothering to show up under those conditions!

    Great stuff! Now you can be legal (for all of about 5 minutes each day before the R6 has warmed up, eh?)
    Keep it rubber-side down...

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Sounds like you really want to ride that R6 - legally. Although from that story I'm surprised you didn't get hit by fish falling from the sky while surrounded by a swarm of locusts.

    lol, well given the luck i had leading up to sitting the test i was half expecting to fail just to top it all right off!



    Just a question, are you supposed to indicate when you turn around in a cul de sac?

    Yes, I think so. I got pulled up about that on my restricted and that my head check was too brief! Anyway, congrats on getting your full despite all that adversity
