Our Quad Bike
Pitcairn Quad Bike Licence
The main way
of getting around Pitcairn island is on the quad bike. Most families own one
and the most common sort seems to be the Honda 300 4x wheel drive. The island policeman
Bill Lambie said that we should sit our driving test as soon as possible. Paul was keen to get his licence straight
away but I feel that I need a bit of practice before I am ready.
On the
second day Bill led Paul up to Aute Valley to put the bike and Paul through
some island manoeuvres. Hill starts,
turning in tight situations, reversing near cliffs and descending down steep
narrow places was all par for the course. It was good that Paul passed and is
now the happy owner of a Pitcairn Driving Licence valid for one year at a cost
of NZ $10.
