Does a advanced drivers course still cut licence waits in half im sure i had 3months learners and maybe even 6months rstricted.Its been 23 years since I did mine so dont hassle my memory guys.

[GingerMidget]

Yep, had the same thing with both of my kids. Couldn't book to do a learner licence because they weren't 15 yet, even though we were trying to book a test for after their birthdays.

Computer says no *cough*

You do realise they still have over a year to wait? minimum learner age is now 16. Not 15. Minimum restricted age is 16 and 6 months. Minimum full age is 18 unless a defensive driving course has been done.

Wrote a bloke a ticket today for riding a new Fireblade on a 6R. He as all over me about how he can sit his full in 2 weeks time, he is a racer, he's a fantastically safe rider, blah, blah, blah.

So I gave him 4 weeks to email me with the news that he is then on a full, and I'll can the ticket.

Can't get over how many people expect the privileges of being licensed without actually having jumped through the hoops.

Yup, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

People should expect a penalty when they break the rules set by the gubbermint on behalf of the population who voted them in.

That's mine.

Donuts.

Oh, well then, most these laws we have came about via Govts I did not vote in so I guess that means I can skip the penalty's then

Sorry Scoober. The gubbermint is reflective of all the people who voted, so represents you even if you didn't vote for them. You might have voted for the team that came second or third, but it's the team that won that No argumen gets to make the rules, even for those that didn't vote for them.

Still, happy for you to believe in your right to disagree, coz I disagree with some of them too. No disagreement there.

But I comply with the rules I don't agree with, coz I respect the authority of those who we collectively elected, even if I don't agree.

Like, I think it's nonsense to have to wear a cycle helmet once you're over the age of 18. I think I should still have a choice. I think it has been counter-productive, as it has discouraged cycling as a fitness thing. But I still wear one when I'm riding.

Expecting the world to revolve around me has failed to work most times, so I don't do it any more.

Glum, being too bloody sensible. Sorry.

So next month i can sit my full because i will have turned 25 allowing me to shorten my time to 6months.
I have held my 6R for 9 months now, Thought i would be pre-emptive to assure i get my full as soon as i can and get out and about on my harley which has been sitting in my driveway now for 6 months (yes i know im a good boy)
Tryed to book online...Whats this apprently i still have another 9months to wait...? So i ring up to query this fact. No No the woman say's, at 25 you can do your full after holding you 6R for 6 months....I reply with well i have held it for 9months and it wont let me. To this she replies, oh sorry your only 24 at present and will not be able to book untill you are 25..... I said i was intending to sit my licence after i'm 25 obviously....She replied no sorry even still you cannot book until you a 25.....Ok i reply, How are the bookings looking. She replies at current march still has spots but the way its going you will be looking at end of april or may.......

This is bullshit i can't pre-book its frikken pathetic

ok so rant done.

Your name aint Barry is it?

Try the sockburn/wigram AA. It's tucked around by the city rubbish tip. When I've done tests there, it's been only a couple of weeks wait.

I'd be keen to meet up and have a look at your bike by the way.

[Nzpure]

legally you don't have to wear a helmet (remembering it's how it's written NOT the intent of the law that matters), you have to have one with you but you don't have to wear it... well, at-least not when I was checking the law to look for a way out of wearing 1 last year sometime, so unless they've changed it since then...

Nope sorry scrap that just rechecked you do have to wear one (however it never says it has to be on your head)... I'm still not about to tho

Good luck wearing it anywhere other than on your head. A $55 instant fine or fight it and risk a $1000 fine ...

Bicycle helmets have been mandatory in New Zealand since January, 1994.[1] The statute, delineated in Part 11 of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 (SR 2004/427), states that "A person must not ride, or be carried on, a bicycle on a road unless the person is wearing a safety helmet of an approved standard that is securely fastened." The law describes six different acceptable helmet standards.[2]

Violating the law can result in a $55 infringement fee and a maximum $1,000 penalty on summary conviction.[3]
