When is a full license not a full license?

[ynot slow]

Agree with you,we're all defensive of our kids,and big ups to all us parents for that,I always answer to license 1,2,6 and firearms lol.

her: "yes. And in my experience, people always have a full car license before getting their motorbike one".

Silly bitch, I have had my full bike licence for years. I don't even have a learners car licence....

[R6_kid:Me]

So many titchy people... is his full motorcycle licence relevant to the job? Unless its a motorcycle related job I highly doubt it. Jobs that require a full drivers licence are so that you will be insured for DRIVING company vehicles if required in the duty of the job.

By the way, if your son has a full motorcycle licence, why isn't he able to take care of getting himself a job?

[Berries]

I think if they say you are required to have a licence then they actually mean a car licence for the reasons explained above, company vehicle use. Their error for not highlighting the fact, but absolutely nothing to do with being second class citizens.

Regardless of the licence issue though, having an applicants Mum ring me up to give me an earful would certainly confirm I made the right decision in not employing their child. Where would it stop ?

As mentioned previously, because the job involved shift work, it may have asked for a full licence to allow the employee to travel to and from work between the hours of 10pm and 5am. Driving a company vehicle wasn't mentioned. It was a simple miscommunication between the parties involved

[Gremlin]

There is only one license, and classes and endorsements on it. Technically, you are correct, however, it means fuck all when it comes to employment

Fair point.

Thank you for understanding.

Obviously we don't know the full details or reasons, but I'm surprised that you're so heavily involved in his employment application?

He took care of the application and getting himself there all without me holding his hand ya plonkers. But when he came home down-in-the-mouth regarding the issue of why his bike license didn't count for jackshit (when NO MENTION, I repeat, NO MENTION, of ANY DRIVING was in the job description) I thought I would clarify for my own interest what her agenda was.

I found her pov to be rather one-eyed and not remotely open to how there could be any misunderstanding over the ambiguity.

He has moved on (he is a big boy regardless of what you think of my questions and interest in his welfare) so all is good.

un-named woman: "That is not the same. He does not have a full driver's license".

I would agree, imho, you don't drive a bike and you don't ride a car

(ostensibly semantics but meh...)

LOL. Ostensibly? No, it IS just being pedantic about semantics Unless I'm mistaken and the people that hold only Class 6 licences have "New Zealand Rider Licence" written across the top

When it is currently a pink colour !

Crazy Steve.

Holy crap! I never looked closely enough at his license to see if it said that. Can anyone clarify/confirm/deny that a bike only full license doesn't say "New Zealand Driver Licence"? Never thought about it till now.

I would do the same PB... maturity gives us the ability to question anyone if we wish as parents ... and in todays society jobs are often hard to find, IMHO I would say THERE BLOODY LOSS, as you son is a awesome guy. As for the class 6... he can ride his bike 24/7 ... to and from work... I would take them to the employment tribunal and say that its an unfair question, as it is like discriminating against someones religion, race, or choices... what they use for transport to and from work is their choice!!!!

Did you know you are required two forms of ID to open a bank account... guess how many kids only have a birth certificate... ! WTF

PS and why would he want to work for a cockup outfit like that now!!!!

[Toaster]

As for those of you who feel I'm just being precious ....

No. Merely protective of that which is precious to you.
