    New to NZ so need to ask a dumb question - Are learner cages restricted to 70kph on the open road too? Or are they legally allowed to go with the flow of the traffic and not get rear ended by a maniac in a 300bhp Skyline with a restricted license and no insurance?

    Ahhhh, that would be a no. Infact said learner could even drive a 300bhp Skyline if they so wish (with dad as an instructor of course)

    Yeh that's true, I never had to worry about it in the first place so don't bother me too much, but used to worry about my little bro who was out riding at 70kph in 100kph zones...

    Well bugger me - we really are the victims.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Doesn't getting the correct licence seem so much better now?

    Didn't we have to pay a fee to keep our full licences current? Before we got these so called "lifetime" thingies. You know that little book you use to buy stickers for from the local council building. Memory isn't what is use to be..............

    Yes you went along to the council and paid a few dollars for 1 to 5 years worth of licence. I can't remember what happened if it lapsed. Of course then we went to life time licences and didn't have to worry about it ever again...

    If you only have your car license and you get pulled over on your bike just make mention to the cop that it would explain why your car was feeling a little funny...
    It's better to Burn out than to Fade away - Cause thats value for money!!
