Hello all, after having my RE class licence for over a year, I would like to sit my R Class licence practical. What can I expect with this?? Is there cones and questions or is it the instructor riding around behind you for a while?? Parking etc? Also if people in QLD could respond as everyone knows the differences in state to state rules is silly. Thank you everyone in advance.
Hey mate. I recomend doing q ride. They teach you each manouver then you get three chances to do it successfully. The RE and R riders do everthing together, the only difference is the size of the bike. Its pretty hard to fail on less you drop the bike or do something illegal. The cost is the downside, however you learn a few things.
Yeah i have done the QRIDE RE test a while ago, so its pretty much the same as that test?? Just dif bikes?
You poor kids. When I went for my licence [ in QLD ] all you had to do was make it around the block safely and they gave you an open licence. Failed the first test if I remember correctly.
When I did it 5-6 years ago it was the same for RE and R. I'm not sure if the rules have changed. I went straight to R as I was already on an Open car licence and did my L's written test when I was 17.
My partner went for her Heavy Rigid licence [ she was married to a truckie at the time ] and the local copper gave her the lot including an open bike licence. While back now , before they got serious.
