I've got a mate who has been to Rarotonga and come back with his bike licence. No mention of any restrictions. Can he still trade it in for a full over here or has that particular loophole been closed?

It seams it can still be done....however it is deamed that when you swap it here it is valid for twelve months as is anyone that shows there overseas licence when applying for a NZ one when visiting from Raro. I decided to follow through the guaduated NZ system rather than have to leave the country for Raro every twelve months to stay valid..........hopefully a positive reply to my over 250cc exception is in my mailbox on Monday as the answer was posted Thursday......nuthin to lose if it's not!

It also qualifies you for a bus license, HT, and Self Laying Track.
Perhaps I should commute in a tank.....

We got back a couple of weeks ago. Since I already had a license it was $10 to get a Raro MC endorsment, and if you never had a MC license it was another $5.75 for your full MC licence and that included being followed around the block by the testing person.

Water is clear and the whole place is surrounded by a coral reef.
I ended up hiring a 125 GN Suzuki (along with a small car for family stuff). I usually did a couple of hours riding early morning then some more late afternoon while everyone was recovering from their day.
Mostly scooters for hire and when I saw the 125 I said to the lady "I'll take the GN please", She said sorry, we don't have one of those.
When I pointed it out to her she said "Oh, you mean the clutch bike".

So! If I'm reading it right. If you turn up with a Raro licence, you can take the scratchy and book a full practical test. Therefore circumnavigating the graduated system.

If Rarotonga is like most other countries you only need to do the scratchy test.
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
