Don't be so mean. Many, many, many people on this site can't spell for chicken shit.

The rest of your post, after the strange looking comma-ed ellipsis, I do agree with.

There are different types of optical lens. For example; Telescopic, Magnifying and corrective. The condition of your licence refers to corrective lenses and I think it's safe to assume that you'd be wearing the correct corrective lenses, rather than someone elses.

Stupid tester should have shown some initiative and done some follow up checks but oh no ... blindly follows the rule book!

Socialist BS! IMHO.

So you want the testing officers to hold everyones hands and wipe their noses too? why should they have to make follow up checks because someone showed up to do a test with an incorrect licence?


People won't like this, but it is his own fault he wasn't allowed to sit the test. OP mentions being given a temporary licence, which would have meant a new licence was on its way, and with a 6 week delay between booking the test and actually sitting it, meant he should have had the card with him on the day, if not at least 3 weeks prior. You are told to check the card you receive carefully to make sure all details are correct. Surely a condition stating 'corrective lenses required' having had your eyes fixed two years prior would raise some concern?

TL,DR?
OP is whining because he was ill-prepared.

Yes, because just like the police, I expect them to be semi intelligent people capable of discretion and common sense as opposed to mindless bureaucratic jobsworths hell bent on following inflexible procedures to the last detail. Unfortunately, that's hardly ever the case in this little island.

Gotta squeeze every last dollar out of the working populace.

You from the testing station?

I did ALL the preparation I could have done, I was told that the licence was the correct licence to bring along for the test.
AA admitted they made a mistake. Fuck you very much but Im not whining here.

and noone is asking anyone to wipe anyone elses noses here, whats this guy on about. showing initiative at ones work and wiping noses aren't the same thing.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Fanta Pants but if you read the original post again he states;

the guy behind the counter ... should have written me a temporary licence with the condition erased, upon applying! (can't just pass me the eye test and leave the condition). I even mentioned the guy about the sugary while applying.

The only reason a paper temporary licence was to be issued (if I understand correctly) is that the OP's vision was sufficient to pass the eyesight test without corrective lenses being worn. The temporary licence unfortunately wasn't issued at the time of booking his restricted test so I doubt he was asked to check any conditions.

Still his fault?

Did OP look at his new licence to see if the condition had been removed?
Obviously not. I suggest you go back and get your eyes re-done, because clearly it didn't work the first time.

He didn't get a new licence, that's the point. He went in to book his resricted test and they tested his eyesight, which he passed. They should have issued a temporary licence at that stage for the sole reason that the corrective lens condition was no longer required.

You've had one too many free beers ya mad bitch.

He was given a temporary licence, which shouldn't have had the condition on it, the AA kid cocked up, but OP didn't bother to fix it before his test?

Its a simple task of calling NZTA, explaining the problem and getting a reference number, going down to where ever you like for the new licence, and getting the condition removed. The worst that will happen is it costs 38.20 if it was your own mistake.

When you booked your restricted (out of interest) OP, were you told to check your horn, lights, WoF & reg status, and your licence? Because you should have been. At the end of the day, the AA kid did screw it up. But you have the final responsibility to make sure everything is correct.

Its called taking responsibilty for yourself. If you can't do that, grow up.

You're obviously over-qualified for your job.
