Possible Changes to Young NSW Rider Licensing

The RTA is considering changes to the licensing scheme for drivers under 26,
some of these changes could affect riders.

Further information can be found at www.youngdrivers.com.au

The options aren't numbered but they are divided into category 1, 2 and 3.
Calling the first option in category 1, 1.1 and the second one 1.2 etc the
RTA have advised that options 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.3 and 3.1 could potentially
effect motorcycle riders.

That is:-
1.2 Increase the minimum tenure period for Learners from 6 months to 12
months (however the minimum tenure for rider L's is currently 3 months)
1.3 Increase the Provisional age to 18 years
1.4 Increase the role for secondary schools in driver training
2.3 Modify the demerit point structue
3.1 Introduce night driving restrictions between 10pm and 5am

If you would like to comment you can do so at the above website or by
sending them to the Motorcycle Council of NSW

Brian Wood, Chair Road Safety Committee, MCC

 

And perhaps more significantly, isn't the current _maximum_ "tenure" for
rider L's in NSW only 6 months?

Can I just post my comments in an informal forum such as this where I can
bleat not have to be accountable for what I say?

 

only for those over 18? and have a full licence?

which would mean your 19 years old really as p's are 3 years now..

But how the fark do they expect me to police this night driving thing, pull
over every young bloke just to see if their on their p's, how ya tell their
a young bloke in a helmet anyway..

Uncle Bully,

You can post your comments here or send them to me or the MCC. I just need
comments so the MCC can summaries what riders think and make a submission by
the end of Feb.

Safe riding,

 

But how the fark do they expect me to police this night driving thing, pull over every young bloke just to see if their on their p's,

any excuse to pull over a bike?
