Exemption for cc limit

**Indiana_Jones** · 10th May 2006, 19:59

I know it's been asked before, but has anyone ever been granted an exemption from the cc limit on a learners/restricted licence?

I've picked up a applicatio form for one and was wondering what excuses you guys have used

Gremlin has an excemption from riding a 250cc bike cos of his size..

Chat to him as to how he went about it and what excuse he used.

But having meet you you aint as big as Gremlin.... so good luck.

I got a time exemption, and had to push shit uphill for that!! Just ride the bloody thing! The police don't know how the exemptions work anyways, so half the time,they charge, and you have to write letters explaining everything, with copies of the exemptions etc...
It ain't worth bothering IMHO

You could try and argue about discrimination (using comparisons with car licenses). Of course this may only work when you are on your restricted and not the learners.

As part of this you could pull some statistics on super fast 250's and compare them with mid-sized bikes (staying well away from what you intend riding)!

I'm not too worried about the fuzz as such, mainly for insurance reasons

WHY DOESNT THAT SUPRISE ME,CUSTARD SHOULD GET A HELMET EXEMPTION AS WELL

LTSA will never under any circumstances grant a cc exemption on a learners. You have to be on a restricted.

Do you really think it is wise? There is a reason for the rule.
