VINZ mt wellington, restricted test

[Tints]

Hey, got my restricted today
I did it at VINZ Mt Wellington after I booked on line.
I just thought I would give you a run down of where he went and all that.
They have a radio, which was good, but the earpiece was a bit painful after a while. The guy was a grumpy bugger and he thought he was great but they are all like that.

I did it at 3pm, which was a bit of a mistake because he took up right past a primary school full of kids that wanted to run in front of you.
We started out going through some suburban streets out the back of carbine road like gabador rd, left and right turns, a u turn on off fisher Cr and stopping on the side a couple of times for him to write stuff, all on very quiet roads. This took about two thirds of the time. After the quiet streets we ended up at the new motorway on ramp going north on the southern motorway doing 70Kmh. he told me to go faster at this point so i went 75. i got off the motorway at Mt Wellington and went along towards the round about by the railway tracks on clemow rd and headed back to Carbine rd.
This is the map of the area that he did it in.
if you have any questions about the test that i could help you with just post after this.

I am going to do a burnout on my loser plate later today!!!!
Now, I’m going for a ride

I did my practical test at Mt Wellington in 1970 - I had to do a figure 8 in the carpark behind the library in Panmure....there was gravel too,but no one blinked an eye at that stuff back then.

The area sure has changed,I served my time across the road,where the VTNZ is was just padocks.And Fisher Rd went from the General Foods driveway down to Panama Rd.....a mate got let off a ticket there because the cop wrote Carbine Rd on the ticket.(even earlier Carbine Rd had been no exit.)

And I thought I was the only one who did that, had a suzuki TC100 farmbike, dropped in to low ratio first gear crawled around the figure 8, waited for the cop to tell me what he wanted next but he handed me the paper work saying I had passed, must have been the same cop, did he move to the waikato?

Bear in mind, back then the cops had a pretty good ear in the local community. He prolly already knew that you were OK before you fronted up. Often the test was just a formality, ride up the hill , do a U turn and come back, was mine.

But he commented while filling out the forms,"Yeah I've seen you round a bit, you seem OK" . So presumably if I HADN'T "seemed ok", things might have been different.
