    Because when they took away our little blue books that we had to go and buy a sticker for every year (or whatever) they sold the change as a "lifetime" deal. Then they changed their minds.

    It would be nice if they sent reminders out in the post much like they do for your WOF or rego though.

    They do send reminders out - I got mine in December - otherwise if it weren't for the reminder god knows when I would have checked. I guess I am old enough to remember we did have lifetime licences. Cost me $44 - fn expensive mug shot lol

    But if you change address they go to old one not new address even though your cars rego might be at new address.My license was due in Sept,as I had class 2 I got my medical certificate prior,so that when reminder notice came I was able to renew asap.

    As the expiry date came closer and no forms had arrived I rang the ltsa and the lady said my renewal forms were sent about 4 weeks before,they were returned as I hadn't advised my new address.I said to the lady who was great,that as I had a couple of speeding invoices and the cop had my license and car rego checks done I assumed my license address was changed as well with my cars rego when it was renewed,and any change of address noted.
    Seems with all the technology about the ltsa and rego computers are not linked.

    It is no excuse to forget the expiry date as surely over the 10 yrs each person has their license you would encounter a roadside checkpoint,at which time you should know the date of expiry.

    If you change address check with ltsa they have updated details,granted $400 is a huge amount but as people have said same as no license fine,which is essentially what your doing as it has expired.

    Funny you should mention lifetime licences 'cos in my big end-of-school-holidays cleaning up frenzy I found an old temporary licence which was issued to me in 1989 (or was it '99 - can't remember) - must have been about the time they were changing the style of licence because a motorbike was class A and a car was class B. Anyway, the expiry date on that was 2034!!!! OMG thought I, I'll probably be dead by then; which I guess would have been the idea of a lifetime licence.......

    Like cold comfort pointed out the fact that our aviations licences are lifetime but our driver's licence having to be renewed every 10 years or so... That sucks. Especially since most people that are disadvantaged for this are experienced drivers who's been driving without losing their licence for 10 years. (Hey I suppose at least those who keep losing their licence and reapplying don't have to worry about this problem... )
    I agree that its a right
    i dont get the choice of being born
    i dont get the choice of having to goto work
    i dont get the choice of paying tax
    there for its my damn right to drive what ever i want on our roads
    "Yes an approiate licence will be required " and thats not a problem ,but when peoples start saying that its a privilege
    i say fuck off

    next you ll be saying its a privilege to go to our beaches ,forest ,or river
    i guess you can see where this point is going .

    Going to our beaches, forests or rivers does not involve handing you control of a deadly weapon in public.

    Your profile says you are in Auckland, but this disagrees.

    Yes, you do. You can choose not to work, especially in this country.

    It seems a bit harsh to have to pay $400 because you forget to renew your licence. How are you supposed to remember? Do you not get a reminder in the post?
