How long did you all have a learner license for?

The nice policeman required me to get my restricted as soon as possible, so was 6 months for me

I think back then, they called it a 'provisional', valid for six weeks. I had one of those and got my full before I had to renew. Needed full to race on street circuits and the bike (TR250 Suzi) had to have a rego plate attached somewhere (usually inside the fairing.... Oh how times have changed...... This was early seventies....

Me too.Car license day I turned 15 and got "provisional" same day & full license a few weeks later

It was in Ashvagas.Brother took me to station on his xl250motosport.Nice policeman told me to ride around the block.He stayed and chatted to the bro-I pulled up outside station.He'd already written out my license

Dosent get any easier than that.I had a cool brother who taught me to ride and provided me with his old bikes & my parents were great about me riding too.Back in the olden days.........

It really sounds like licenses were much more easily obtained back in the day, when a cop followed you around the block. Nowadays you have to literally "rehearse" for the test.

So in NZ you get trained how to pass a test... Then you get a driving license.

A mate of mine has also had his for around 20 years
