Dave Hounddriver Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 My wife recently got a new motorcycle. She has no license and had not driven until now. After some practice she is confident riding around the province roads but lately there have been a lot of stop checks. She asked one of the PNP who pulled her over if they would accept a learner's license next time (they gave her a warning only first offence) and they said: Not acceptable. They said she could only use the learner's license when a licensed driver is on the seat behind her. Anyone who has tried that will know it is much harder to learn with someone on the back than just being by yourself. So she is going to have to get her license. She is going to have to practice where the cops ain't watching. Then she will have to go and attempt to get her real license. The learner's license appears to be a simple matter of tipping the guy who issues them. What is involved in making that into a bone fide license? Anyone done it? Cost? Experiences to share?

Dave Hounddriver Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 Taxpayer’s Identification Number (TIN) 3 sticky bits that want clarifying if you can Paul. First: Having never held a job or paid any tax, this TIN is not something she would have. How to get it or get around it? Second: Does the one giving the driving test get on the bike with her or just watch while she goes solo? Third: How tough are these tests? Is it there a cheat sheet for the answers? I cannot imaging many locals in this province actually knowing the rules of the road or passing a proficiency test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that if you neatly and discreetly attache a generous donation via an envelope stapled to your application and test papers, water parts and miracles happen. not to mention a valid license. tanks EJ. :540: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
