gee wizzz
A good freind of mine recently sat his restricted licence. The testing officer followed him in a car.
The testing officer got rather irate at my freinds refusal to ride smack bang in the middle of the lane. My freind was fairly consistantly riding in the righ wheel track.
This was at the AA licence facility in Howick.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
Mad nagging bitch!
I recently sat my full. The tester told me before we set out that where I positioned myself in the lane was entirely up to me.
We talked about lane positioniing and he said that he had recently failed a few riders for riding so far to the right that their shoulders were over the centre line. He suggested that the centre was the best place...I rode in the right wheel track ...and passed.
Sounds to me like the tester was a little over zealous.

If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...
Double shot!!
Why couldnt he just do it to pass the license.. after all, isn't that what the whole test is about? Suck his cock for a few minutes - heres ya license.

"Wow, Great advise there DB."

Did he pass? If he did, who cares, honestly. My full license tester said a few things, but really, it seemed he was trying to find something to say, with his suggestions making things more dangerous. If ya mate passed, move on, better things to do and all that.
Now, if your friend didn't pass, he is able to complain if he wishes, and after all, the official advice (road code etc - yes, it isn't actually legally binding) is to ride in the right wheel track... Although, deep reading, they contradict themselves a few times.

agreed with DB, kiss testing officers arse for a while...heres ya licence
could catch a monkey
I had an instructer follow me a week before doing the test cos I was rusty - his interpretation was that they want you to ride where the right hand wheel track should be, not where it is (i.e. most cages are far too far to the right of the lane).
However, this puts you right where 4 (and more) wheelers dump oil and stuff, so if it's wet, stay away from it.
Long story short(ish), his advice was use my judgement. At the end of the day, it's each rider's safety.
BogOff-Cant you see I'm busy?
IME - Making any kind of testing office irate is best avoided.
Arse kissing gets my vote.
(yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir)
The instructions are simple...
Nup. If testers insist on roadcraft that is flawed, it bodes no good for the futures of those who don't know better. Those testers need to be brought to heel.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Forum whore
The roadcode says to ride in the right track of the car in front? So unless he was really close to the line, and could be considered dangerous, shouldn't that just be called obeying the rules?:-P

Exactly.
I'm amazed how so many people will choose the weak option even when they know its wrong, weak, and self-serving.
Forum whore
BRONZ will remind the Howick AA of safe practice.
You do all realise that the tester had probably never ridden a bike, and that motorcycle licence testers do NOT have to have a motorcycle licence ?

Infreakincredible.

Yet a WOFmechanic cant issue a wof for a bike unless he has a bike licence.
Amazingly VTNZ can test a bike withut riding it, yet your mechanic can't.
David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.
Double shot!!
haha, I'd like to be a fly on the wall when that letter is opened. Nice!

Very interesting. I sat my restricted in Manukau, and the only advice my tester had for me was to ride LESS in the middle of the lane and more towards the right wheel track part of the lane.
So opposite, (and correct) advice in my case.
