DECLINED - exemption to night riding restrictions

[iwilde]

After 10pm on my restricted? I routinely ignore that limitation. I've had my full car licence for the thick end of ten years, but because I'm a) only on my restricted on my bike, and b) had it for bloody ages because, through no fault of my own, I'm under 25, I'm somehow not good enough to ride after 10pm. Fuck that. It's just as bloody dark at 9pm as it is at 11pm... but if anything it's safer for a motorbike at 11pm as there are fewer cars to worry about. So I'll continue to ignore it until I sit my full.

Heh, I used the word 'fewer', Hitcher would be proud of me...

What age did you get your licience? 14yrs old?

[Chrislost]

i got declined because of my recent driving history, wanted to go after hours.

ive had a full cage licence for 5 years.
just hoping i dont get invited to a disco with a arsewhole policeman on my way home from work at 11pm.

If you look closely, you might notice that I said "the thick end of ten years..." which just means the major part of ten years, rather than actually being ten years.
Though, I did get my 1L licence six months after I turned 15, and sat each test as soon as I was eligable to do so... I was 17 when I got my full. I'm now 24. I've held a car licence of some description for nine years now... and been on my full for seven years of that. So yeah, the thick end of ten years.

And you used it correctly - which even more outstanding.

There is a reason that all you folk on your restricted licenses aren't allowed to ride after dark, because you are incompetently dangerous, and with a name like i like n00bs, what do you really expect?
hi land transport office, my name is i'm a n00b, give me exemption because i have skills.

Well said.

On what basis did you apply for an exemption? Late working hours? No use getting your panties in a knot because you can't have your own way. Its like throwing a tantrum in the supermarket cause mummy wouldnt get you the chocolate sprinkles on the ice cream as well the flake, hundreds and thousands, chocolate sauce and waffle cone. Lifes unfair, grow up and get used to it.

Im all for the establishment if they stop someone plowing into the side of me because they were out later than what they should have been cause they just wanted to get to get to their girlfriends house to play Doctor Doctor.

Could have got the exemption by using a letter from my employer but reckoned the time it would take to process - I'd be on my full be the time they looked at it.

.

Yeah yeah nah, I had a letter from employer, and rosters attached. But they refused saying I had my car licence and could use that. You'd probably have to say you didnt have a car.

That's why I moved to a place where you don't seem to need a licence or even a helmet! (ha ha I said helmet)

Hmmm, maybe I AM too immature to ride after 10pm.

Well that is bollocks turning you down becasue you have a car licence too.

I made the point that my bike was my main mode of transport to work. My boss gave them a letter saying I worked shifts etc... clean and clear record since I started driving....

... and it helped being a cop at the time

[QUOTE=Imanoobie2;1060353]So, will endeavour to be off the road between 10pm and 5am, until I can do the full test. My concern is not the cops, reckon I could get away with it, but the insurance company won't pay out if I am in breach of my licence conditions.[/QUOTE]

Not to try and be the man, but i rode all the time on my L and R outside of hours. I still do it on my 1R, i do have 6 full though.

Easy thing with insurance deal - don't crash.

They did the same thing to me too. Not all people are 9 to 5. I ended up changing my shift so I was starting work at 9:30 pm and finishing after 5am - and that is apparently safer than working from the afternoon to 10:30 pm
