250cc+ Exemption on licence?

Yes, you will be told the result, one way or another.

took about 4 weeks for my result... I dare say it almost seems like successful applications take less time than denies... mate got denied, and it took about 6 weeks...

dunno... try to relax, or the time will seem a lot longer

Well I got a call today and I got the exemption. But it is only for my GB400, no other bikes. Also, the woman said it would either run out the week i can get my restricted licence, or the week i can get the full. She doesn't know what one it will be. I will be getting the letter in the next few days. Awesome stuff. It actually worked. Now i can ride legally and actually bother getting insurance lol.

Oh and i have the hold the letter on me whenever i ride... i thought it would be printed on my licence or something.

Well done Mark.
The limitation on your current bike is to be expected really. I'd be a little bit suspicious if the exemption was granted because 250's are too small and your GB400 is pretty slow, only to find you riding on a Busa the next day....

My money is on the exemption being valid until you complete the full license test.

Yeah thats what would of worked out good for me. But, the lady said that it generally just goes until you get your restricted then you need to apply again! but she said she would talk to her manager or something and try make it last until i can get my full. Trust the LTSA to make it so you have to reapply again. ffs.

There should be words to the effect "As per conditions in letter rider carries" written on the blank space on the back of the license.

Best tip here is to photocopy it about 5 times, take it to your local JP, and have them verified, and keep the original safe. Depending on the length of time of exemption, the letters do slowly degrade, especially if they get wet.

It is of note to notice the date the exemption expires, as technically, if you do not pass the license before then, strictly speaking, you cannot ride that bike for your license... Not sure what they would do in that situation.
