[VIC] New licensing scheme...

[ShiftPlusOne]

I am all for making it harder to get a motorcycle license, but this is just stupid.
They're basically going to copy the regular car licensing process as much as they can.

A REQUIREMENT for learner riders to obtain a minimum number of supervised on-road hours before they are given a licence - either 25, 50 or 120 hours;
MORE rigorous assessment of practical skills before riders can obtain a licence;

AN automatic transmission restriction for riders who pass the test on an automatic motorcycle such as a scooter; and

INCREASING the period new riders have to use learner-approved motorcycles from one year to three.

Supervised on-road hours? Wtf are they thinking?

They should just add an on-road test and copy some of the testing criteria used in England and leave it at that.

[spectre]

how are you going to be supervised on the road? with a passenger? wich would probably be dangerous for a new rider anyways...

[ShiftPlusOne]

I think you would have someone following you and giving you tips then signing your logbook. 'course everyone will just find someone to just sign the logbook without doing the supervised hours.

yeah i was reading about this in the sun today,

its a good idea because admitidly it is far to easy to get your L's but your right how are they going to supervise? the only real way i can see them doing it is if they go to some track or big parking area and the instructor watches you and records how long you've ridden till you've hit that 120 hour mark, but what instructor would honestly do that & if they did I'm sure the cost of obtaining your L's would sky rocket.

[Scrad]

In Tassie we have a pretty good system.. You have to sit a two day training course of theory and practical to be deemed competent for your L's, sit a test; then ride for a least 6 months and then sit another training/test day where they test your roadcraft and slow speed skills. The instructors are great too.

120 hours seems way too much, imho. More hours doesn't make a better rider; improved training makes the better rider.

Recently down here (from what my instructor was telling me) the director of transport was noted as saying something like: "we don't have a great concern for motorcyclists". So it's obvious that these people don't understand that motorcycle training differs greatly to cage training. Also, not a single person who rides a bike is on the transport board, so I am pretty sure that they don't really understand the needs of a biker.

nothing at all wrong with the current system.

the stupid fucking cunts should be making it easier to get a bike licence to free up traffic and save the planet ect

nothing at all wrong with the current system.

the stupid fucking Daves should be making it easier to get a bike licence to free up traffic and save the planet ect

Daves

Well if they do that then the motorcyclist road toll will skyrocket so the cops will have more pressure to enforce the road rules which they currently ignore (lane splitting, a bit of speeding, stopping in front of the stop line, riding on the footpath and so on). Then all the news laws will come in to 'protect motorcyclists' so we could lose our "park wherever the fuck you feel like" right.

So yeah... I'd rather they added an on-road test, but got rid of the motorcycle taxes.

There are many information views in the marketplace development of LED lighting style, many of them believe that there is misconception about the industry and engineering with the difference between the upstream and downstream issues to be set, also is the LED lighting style organizations.
It was close relatives members LED industry, excessive development. With the investment in cost-effective around, LED lighting style design become the sector's greatest easily good about the lovely. In the LED industry, the show effect of the success of the Illuminati, in nationwide and local, such as "Ten City, ten million," "a million kilometers of thousands" and other suggestions to promote LED, more and more of the inbound hurry of economical dedication from various places.
What is behind the enjoyment of it? Customized many LED lighting style design with cost-effective economical aid instantly found the place, this amazing "stuff" is not as excellent as the imagination: statements 50,000 hours LED light life is only taken less than a month more than half come to an end, even if we can hold on for several months seems to have become a red "wildfire."
A sequence of issues after another, government cost-effective dedication became careful, and many organizations started to have LED lighting style items into the set up room, large contribution stores, resorts,[url=http://www.cheapairjordanshoesale.com/ludacris-suede-air-jordan-3-mens-shoes-red-gray-black-p-211.html]Ludacris Suede Air Jordan 3 Mens Shoes Red Gray Black[/url], office buildings and even homes. Most of these places can pay for their customers,[url=http://www.denverbroncoscheaponline.com/womens-nike-denver-broncos-77-karl-mecklenburg-limited-white-nfl-jersey-p-839.html]Women's Nike Denver Broncos #77 Karl Mecklenburg Limited White NFL Jersey[/url], price-sensitive, so organizations started to problem and website, use the most cost-effective snacks, the most costly warmed content ... ... a lot of issues happen regularly. Go on like this, LED industry will soon be modified into mice or mice or rodents on the roads, the situation of the individuals cry.
LED lighting style is not only the primary engineering,[url=http://www.uggsclassicbootsoutlet.com/thick-goose-down-ugg-coquette-slipper-5125-in-pink-p-143.html]Thick Goose Down UGG Coquette Slipper 5125 in Pink[/url], processer, made these days, many individuals lack close relatives members upstream LED processer primary business engineering. To do a LED light, it needs to secure the semiconductor engineering, noticeable engineering, architectural engineering, chilling engineering, electronic engineering, procedure performing engineering, and elements, elements and substances, warmed return and other specific groups, it can not say that the processer is the primary engineering, the light doing quality and faultless is also the primary engineering.
For example, LED neon lighting style bigger than many, but the light is not the reaction. Problems often deceased lighting style design, LED high-tech items that appear so "high", the common old hundred numbers can not be set, not costly LED lighting style design that toss to toss, where to repair? How many individuals know how to repair? an LED lighting style items a year is not enough to save the power of its servicing,[url=http://www.cheapnikerunfree.com/nike-free-run-30-v4-mens-shoes-gray-brown-silvery-p-60.html]Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Mens Shoes Gray Brown Silvery[/url], you think about LED lighting style items that will be long-term one is it?
The development of any industry has its certain suggestions, LED is no exemption to this concept. Although close relatives members industry brings are very shiny LED lighting style, but any one industry needs a ongoing procedure. LED as a new industry, means that the appropriate engineering are not yet older and ongoing, and appropriate places support suggestions, development requirements, experience requirements, after sales service, so that in the plan used under the support of learning from your errors, the use of verification, and the ongoing overall performance marketing. This needs serious tasks of LED people!
