At least it's only $10 bucks. Licencing here is a much bigger money making business - check out how much it costs for the scratchy test these days!
I got a licence to drive a heavy vehicle after a 'two day' 'course' - ONE and ONE HALF HOURS actually practising and driving the thing, and a WHOLE BLOODY DAY on filling out a log book, (which, by the way I had already been tested on once for a P endorsement but as the testers weren't NZQA registered it 'didnt count'.) Grrrrr.
I am sure the fact that you at least had some sort of Raro licence was why he let you go. The week we were there there was a blitz and they got ten people who had been too cheap to pay the $10.
