New Bike Test Petition

#1 Post by TC » Wed Apr 16, 2008 6:12 pm

Not sure if it will do any good, but a new petition has been drawn up to get the introduction of the new motorcycle test postponed until all the new test super centres are operational. Might be of interest to those who are looking to take their test late in the year.

Also signed. Of course it's common sense - unless you want to stop people riding bikes, of course.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

lol

I signed - but didnt read the petition at all - I trust you not to tell porkies TC :smt006

ridiculous situation to be in - I'll bet they haven't even bought the appropriate land for the new set up yet.

BTW are they going to re-test/sight test all the crap fourwheeler drivers in the same 'safety scheme' ?
Snappy ~~X~X~{:>

Having said that, I clicked the link in the email about 9pm and my name hasn't appeared yet. Will check back tomorrow.
