Sitting your Restricted License

[Moi]

All except this one "Don't cut solid white lines". Kind of hard to get in and out of Bus Lanes without crossing one.

I've been told that there is nothing in legal terms that says you're not supposed to cross them. Can anyone provide evidence to the contrary?

Are they meaning the solid white line that is a centre line on the road?

If that, then good advice...

Yup, that was my take on it too.

I got pinged for it when joining a Motorway on my Restricted.

I am guessing the solid white lines that indicate no changing lanes. Examples of them around Auckland include just after the bridge going south around the bend immediately after the bridge. Another one is through the tunnel before the bridge heading north. For this there are signs up at the tunnel entry saying no changing lanes as well.

People ignore them all.

Car drivers in particular who have no fucking clue about the road rules ignore them all.

there, fixed it for you.

Jesus, is this a room full of tourist drivers or something?

pedestrian crossings + rail/train crossings makesure you check... not sure if any on the test route in welly? --- for pedestrian stops you have to be behind the white line(so if it's creeping traffic, you need to stop until there is full gap on the other side)

It's not a road rule, it's a specific guidline for CBTA assessment regarding rider skills and behaviour.

It's most usually assessed when exiting side roads and joining main roads where the white dotted lines turn solid before and after the joining road. The white solid lines at intersections and when exiting side roads are quite slippery when wet, so crossing them whilst turning can be quite risky, not to mention that if you're crossing them from a side road, you are obviously spending too much time in the wrong lane, and have poor turning/handling skills.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to 5ive again

I knew there was something about it in the Test.

Can't fuckin believe noone has said this yet, but, my advice : Do CBTA. This replaces your practical test component and isn't necessarily easier or harder than the practical test, but involves a lot more feedback and discussion.

You sound like you have the right attitude, and I'm sure the CBTA assessor will see that and work with you to get you a pass.

Agree that crossing those white lines is technically wrong and I would generally not cross them, but I think crossing the one in the centre of the road is of greater concern...

I have it on my to do list , just not quite available for 6-8 hours in one day for it. Thought to make most of time get the restricted then when time permits do the three courses

...why not just ride like you are supposed to ride, following the rules and controlling your bike just like you should be able to do...if that is a problem then bus passes would be the next best option...there are no hands to hold when you are out there riding on the planet, and certainly no tricks or tips to get you home safely...

[Puffin' Billy]

Do the Ride Forever bronze course. Its basically just a set up to get you to pass your restricted. Cost ya only 20 bucks too.
I found with doing the CBTA the assessor was doing everything he could to get you to pass, instead of pouncing on the slightest fuck up and failing you for it.

You'll be sweet bud!

Beware of ''tricks.'' My son failed his restricted car license last week, for speeding...yeah, a no brainer. But how it happened has got me a bit steamed up. Coming down a 70, they turned right into side road, and now he's doing 50, comes back on the main road and heading back the way they came, doing 70....but, it's a 50. The speed change sign was between the 2 side roads. It was a small town out of his area, but a much shorter waiting list - if he was a local he might of known about the speed zone change, but without area knowledge he got caught out. He can't ask the tester, doing 50 in a 70 would also be a fail. They like to fail young males, and maybe the Levin didn't help, but it's far from a Boi Racer car.
