    You do not hold an Aussie licence anymore as it is disqualified. When you come to NZ you will not hold a license and will have to obtain a NZ learner license and start from scratch.

    You could try but they will check your driving history with the police and will probably pick up the fact that you will soon be disqulified thereby declining your application.

    When I swapped my New Zealand drivers license over for a Victorian One (Melbourne City) all they did was grabbed my Australian details, punched a hole in my NZ license, gave it back to me and issued me with a Victorian one.

    I don't think they checked past history as long as you had your license issued in country within the golden triangle (U.K, NZ, and other countries that I can't name). On the other hand, Australia and New Zealand don't share driver license databases (somebody correct me here).

    I think you'll be alright, as long as you keep your current driver license and if they try and confiscate your license, just say you lost it. You don't need a international driver license if you're coming from OZ.

    You also start behaving better when you start driving/riding in New Zealand...!

    Look you'll be fine, like I said, just said you lost it.

    Haha, yea Wheelies are a bitch aye, you never know who the fark is watching. Just make sure next time you pull a wheelie you're doubley sure there's no cops.

    I don't know if this has ever worked but you could always say you just lost your front when you grabbed the throttle and you've just started learning how to ride....

    But cops busting your arse while they're heading home on a bus is a pretty hardcase....

    Sounds like he's just a bit too commited....

    I know the international licence rules were changing last year. Not sure of the ins and outs of it now. I am pretty sure you needed a permit as well as you own country licence.

    I think if you are unable to produce a licence on the roadside here, you would be considered unlicensed as they won't have access to Aust. records. $400 fine and "forbidden to drive" last I am aware.

    If though you produce a licence or copy of a licence to give the impression you are licensed when you are actually unlicensed or disqualified - you will be charged with using a document (fraud charge)... that is a criminal charge, not a traffic charge.

    If you drive or ride while disqualified, say goodbye to your bike. It will be taken from you. You would be summonsed to court or you may get to wear some nice metal braclets, get your photo taken and some nice prints ataken as a momento of your visit to NZ.

    Do it the right way and get the matter sorted with the authorities. Then you may be able to ride without the worry of getting caught.
