Thread: Trailer WOF upcoming. What to expect?

[fine wasn't to bad but the demerits along with the usual speeding ones made loss of licence a probability.]

Just be aware that at FAL renewal time this may well be a topic of discussion, at least it seems to in Marlborough/Nelson area. Twice now this has come up at referee question time for me. “Do you believe applicant is a law abiding individual?” then referenced demerit points/traffic offences. Fuken little hitler cunts.

Really?? Thats hardly relevant. Anyone can get a ticket for a couple of kays over the speed limit. That isn't an indication that the have criminal tendencies or are dishonest and shouldn't have a FA licence.

Thats an extreme view.

Yup, but people keep commenting that this is the sort of questions they get. I'm not sure what the end goal is for the line of questioning though, as it really does seem to stick with a lot of applicants that the people interviewing them are quite retentive with some of their questioning. The last lady I had interview me as a referee was brilliant though to be fair - took 1.5 hours at least if not more but she was thorough, fair and even gave me a few bits of advice re what she knew of the re-licencing and what could possibly save me a bit of money going forwards. Cannot complain!

I was asked about speeding/parking at my last renewal in 2017, they didn't even talk to my referees

Careful with that one - had a couple of people now that have had their referees re-interviewed and the status of their licence queried due to that issue. Part of the confidence checking that everything was done correctly at that time - could be worth dropping the new firearms licensing MP a note because it adds to the list of issues that have gone on with firearms licensing in the past...
