Wow, they are getting into the modern age
When I lived there we did not need one. Any car that looked and drove OK could be registered

Nope PNG license not recognized, and from experience never let your Oz one expire

Hey Andy....drop into the Land Rover dealer and introduce yourself to Michael(Mick) , the new service manager.

He will be focussing very hard on local Land Rover dealership problems.

He has an excellent background on solving dealership problems in remote areas.

He is also a great bloke.

No, I don't think it is a good idea - simply more bureaucracy (the current limit in NSW I think is 12 seats and 4.5tonnes). Introduction of separate licence classes within the range of vehicles commonly used as family cars is not, in my view, a good idea.

Part of the problem is how you divide up the licence classes. Your example is on number of passengers - but this does not reflect skill required to drive the vehicle. For example, how does the skill to drive my nine seat 110 differ from that required to drive a two or three seat 110 trayback? And the latter probably requires more skill to drive than does an eight or nine seat van that has been specifically designed to drive the same as a conventional car.

Then we have the perennial proposal for a special licence to drive a four wheel drive. Again, what is a "four wheel drive"? A RAV4? You obviously can't do it on number of driving wheels. On weight? A Series 1 80" is lighter than almost any small car today - but the skills to drive it are the same as those required to drive a 130.


Add the fact that additional licence classes would act to restrict employment opportunities, especially for those just entering the workforce.

Will do, however its a 1000 km from me. Do you know if it is still with Carpenters.
Carrying spares would be an innovation in this part of the world !

AS a matter of interest we are all Toyota, warranty is 1,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. 1,000 that's no typo !
