The transport website is down, does my son need a learners permit to learn to ride a motorcycle or can He use his manual drivers license that He has had for 4 years to learn to ride a bike? With me shadowing.

He needs to get an R-E learners permit. I'm not sure if things have changed in the past couple of years, but there is a theory test component specific to motorcycles, check the drive safe book which has a motorcycle section.
If you can borrow a moped (R-N), you could shadow him around on that and show him the basics.

funny... i'm up for a $600 fine if i don't have my licence on me at work
different rules for every class and private use versus business or driving for reward.
yes you must carry the learners permit once obtained whilst operating the vehicle that the permit applies to, it is a condition of holding the learners permit.
put him on a moped and he won't even need a learners permit as it's covered by his car licence and you can still teach him most of the roadcraftDo you remember the good old days before the internet?
when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.

The learners permit these days is a card identical in construction to a drivers license, but yellow. I don't see why carrying that is a massive problem? When i was a learner I used to carry my license and my learners permit just in case.Originally posted by tank-wombatGeoff seems like a wise man who's soul will slowly be destroyed by the stupidity of some people

it depends what you get caught doing as a learner, i used to do what i thought were funny things to my brother when he was learning, like jump up over kerbs and run through cycle paths and come out in front of or behind him on different streets...
it was funny for me until i rounded a roundabout in front of a cop car and my brother was still on the other road as the cops approached with L plates displayed, i did a quick u-turn and detour and came back out behind him before the cops had turned around and followed him but it was still too late
thankfully all his paperwork was in order and they accepted my explanation that i was keeping an eye on him but was being a knob and turned off a street before him to see if he'd notice that i was gone and follow the instruction to ride home, they did query how i got back behind him before they caught him because they had seen me before they saw himbut i was more worried about having got a learner in the shit by messing around
don't give them any excuses to bust youlet them make up their own.
