    skills test questions

    Hi

    I want to do my learners licence and have spotted a couple of likely training schools on the net. Does anyone have any experience of passrite or riderskills? Love the site by the way and really looking forward to getting my bike licence.

    was enrolled with passrite until they dicked me around a bit and I cancelled. I used John Wright.

    Riderskills (Philip is his actual name) is actually on KB, and has even helped out on one of the Newbie rides for free. Personally, between the 2, it would be a no-brainer. Passrite also seems to cramp a lot of the stuff together, with a shorter course.

    When learning, I was prepared to pay a bit more, and get some more tips.

    Between the 2, look up Phil

    and on different days - mine works sunday afternoons - otahuhu
    also have different prices - call RideSafe 021 New Rider for details if you want a 3rd option.
    If you say either "I can" or "I can't" your correct.

    I did it!! - passed my test and got my certificate yesterday and spent the day emailing / phoning one and all . It was my first time on a bike with gears and I was really scared of dropping it. It took ages to get the hang of stopping inside the box but I aced it in the test. A huge thank you to phillip at riderskills for his patience - I would thoroughly recommend them, I came away with a lot more confidence. It's amazing how just turning your head can make your riding a lot easier. Just need to practice the roadcode now and do the scratch test. woohoo!!

    Well done, and welcome to KB.
    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
