best of luck guys!
metric, like boomer said, about all you have to do is remember the potential hazards and repeat them bck to the tester.... easy. eg: at an intersection going straight
* car coming from left
* bus coming from right
* bus possibly obsuring the view of other vehicles
* dog walking along the footpath without a leach
* manhole cover
* car behind (tester, they are a hazard too lol)
* building site
*etc etc
basicly anything you can see that could turn into something that might be a danger to you, or cause you to ajust your journey
you'll be fine

Hang on - I haven't reached this stage in my development - who said anything about talking during a driving test?
Surely you just ride where they tell you to go and if you obey the rules of the road you pass?
Will I need to bring a pencil and paper to write down the friggin hazards?
Shit - if it's too complicated I'll sell the bike and go back to the cage.
Can anyone confirm if they test yer eyesight EVERY time you sit a test?

McJim, I can confirm that. In the last 13 months I had an eye exam after failing the eye test to get my L plates. I then had to sit another eye exam for my Restricted, and then another for my Full.
To rub the salt in, my car license runs out in November, and I have to get another eye certificate - another exam. Total cost $110 on eye exams!!
My eyes are 20/20, but I can only see two of the three lines of text in the AA test machine.
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Drum- Hold on mate.... no you dont have to have a FULL eye test...
Go and ask for a STANDARD test cost about $15 or your GP can confirm your eyes are ok if you cant see the 3 coliummns in the eye test machine...
Seriously it is only $15 for a standard eye test at any optomitrist
(or who ever you spell the eye dr) and they know all about people failing that particular test when going for your license... so they in a STANDARD eye test.
And while you are there ask them how long the paperwork for the standard test last for..
as the paperwork can be used again within a certain length of time sapan....
I know this cos I have a young friend go throu all this procedure when he got his bike and also car license as he also could only see 2 of the 3 colummns..

The certificates must have been issued in the last 6 months - and they take the bastard from you when you sit the test. I just thought since I'd had it done in May I wouldn't need to go through it in November again (on account of my eyesight not having changed for the past 36 years and therefore being stable).
In UK it's dead simple ...they point at a car in the distance and say "Wot's the number plate then?" If you can't read it they fail you there and then and you don't even get to see the road.
Well Metric - do you have a full licence?

Sorry, wasnt quite clear there.
First time was a full eye exam - $50 bucks. The next three tests are a reduced test at $20. That's including the certificates for my 6L, 6R, 6F and the renewal of my 1F.
I think the certificate has to be less than 30 days old - I'll have to check that.
edit: Heres the link to the eyesight stuff...http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/licensing/ge...ce/vision.html
Certificate must be less than 60 days old.

terrible weather - am sure the guy felt sorry for me... he thought my speedo needing calibration too - I was doing 40km's for most of it! My defence was drive to the conditions, when they change reduce your speed
