I counter that. I did my restricted and full CBTA course with Passrite in Penrose. The instructors were great, the course was well structured and I learned a lot.

Darn darn darn.

After reading the OP I made an enquiry (Roadsafe, Wellington): here are the relevant bits:

...as of 17 November 2005, Land Transport suspended the CBTA trial programme.

Approvals must be lodged with Land Transport by 10 December 2005,

all courses must be completed by 31 January 2006,

and your license applied for by 10 February 2006.

Exemptions for over 250cc motorcycles will not be accepted unless ... registered ownership ... for a period of more than 6 months ...

...Land Transport are currently taking 2 - 3 weeks to process approvals.

Cheers,

UPDATE: CBTA
just got a letter from Fred @ Passrite.

" it is with regret to inform you that LTNZ has suspended the CBTA trial.

*snip*

the last date for application forms at this stage is 10 December 2005.

*snip*

we understand that a review for the continuance of the scheme will be held early in the new year"

I'm rushing off my forms as I type - "we understand that a review for the continuance of the scheme will be held early in the new year"

hmm - is this some marketing ploy to get ppl to sign up now?

Cant stand show-offs. You get what you wanted for your bike Si?

**Bulldog** · 6th December 2005, 23:13

I'm in the last course in albany which is the 21st of Jan

I applied several weeks ago although I am yet to receive my acceptance yet. The Passrite lady said I just made the cut though when I talked to her and luckily....I don't have any speeding tickets.....yet.

I'll be at the Passrite Learners-to-Restricted course on Sat 10th of Dec.

Any other KB Members going to be there?

Yessir, I'm gonna be there on the 10th

... I just hope my bike will make it!
It hasn't been running very well but I think it'll be alright.

I asked PassRight about the 10th December deadline and whether I would be able to apply for the Restricted-Full on the same day (assuming I pass) but nobody seemed to know.

I'll be asking them on the day cause I really want to get my full as early as possible.

See you on Saturday.

Great! I have aged a bit since my Avatar photo was taken, but you can recognise me by my bike (now without sissy bar and Givi screen ).

I'm over 25 so I plan to do the Defensive driving course and sit out the three months for the full. I am just confident enough to be really dangerous now. :slap:

See you at the course.
