Check your licence

[homer]

That would cure the friggin road rage aim BOOM car gone.

Its called a memory jog.........you know like remembering to wake up for work etc............Calender perhaps

I must be getting old Grahame.

1 or 2 years - No problem.
5-10 years - No way.

So long as I keep my address updated on my licence, I should be fine.

[spudchucka]

actually jrandom its more of a right than a privilege.

No its not. It is most definitely a privilege. A driver licence is just a document that confirms you have proven to be competent enough to operate a vehicle on a road and that the authorities that administer the roads have given you their permission to use them.

[spudchucka]

My paper one is a lifetime licence. I'll just use that.

They are real handy for driving overseas too.

Is there a problem in Auckland that I am not aware of then?

Just that you claim cyclists (of the "push" variety) are not a hazard. Driving in Auckland, I beg to differ.

sorry piggy, but go to uni and learn some facts before you spout your bullshit (p/t btw)

did you read the entire thread?

[Renegade]

what pisses me off is that about 3 years ago i renewed my cage licence, no big deal, 2 years ago i got my learners, then a year after that my restricted then 6 months after that my full, each of those times i had an eye test and a photo.

you would think that if the 10 year renewl was to test eyes and update the photo that when i got my bike full that the expiry date of the licence would be from that date i was last tested for my eyes and photo, BUT NO!! it was still back dated to when i renewed my cage licence 3 years ago, scandalous bastards!!!

and i didnt get a dam reminder notice either the lying sods.

the system is flawed, DOWN with the system!!!!!

In that case sounds like a good thing in case you forget how to drive??

Well that could be because drivers hate cyclist anyway so don't think "Cyclist"........ironic when as bikers say that cage drivers should be aware of us but we don't have the same phylosophy when it comes to push bikes.

Down with the scumbag politicians and faceless bureaucrats that inflict such systems upon us

Could be. I disliked (some) cyclists when I was a pedestrian too, though.

Mind you pedestrians are pretty bad. The number of them I see crossing a busy road only metres from a pedestrian crossing or crossing on the corner of an intersection (aften with kids)with cars turning or just crossing slowly expecting you to stop.

I guess the road evolution starts with Pedestrianitus, Cyclops, Cagerplatimus and the top of the scale Bikersspeedomitus

[sAsLEX]

Using a motor vehicle on the roads is a privilege, not a right.

A requirement to keep the necessary paperwork up to date and a fine for being lazy about it that's equivalent to the fine for breaching a condition of a restricted licence seem reasonable enough to me.

And thats why I am required to get a new license in 18 months time?

So what about Bikespeedomiscylists ?


I cycle to work, saves petrol money for the real bike, see you coming down lake road every afternoon!


oh I am probably saving some planet or something as well?

[Sir_hoppalot]

I thought the point brought to attention was more the fact that something like an expired licence, has a more severe fine than exceeding the speed limit, which just seems ludacrus.
