Me & not ashamed to admit it either.

Think the whole licencing thingy is a Bloody Big Joke
These days.

People getting their licences over the intenet, even the way they sit for their tests @ waterways is a bloody big joke.

I dont break any laws not having a licence so stuff them

I always thought there were plenty of laws being broken if you dont have a licence?

Like - piloting a vessel without a valid licence?

Mind you, in 12 years of having a boat licence, I have only ever had it questioned twice, once by the police when they questioned us one night under the harbour bridge (apparently there were a spate of break-ins to moored vessels) and once when waterways booked me for tying up at Quarantine Point early one morning.

What happens if you run into someone one night though, or even more likely, they run into you, and you dont have a licence, and hence no insurance?

Not having a go, just asking.

Mate according to laws, if i remember right, you dont need any license as long as you dont go faster then 10 knots.

Your comments are a very good example of a person who has a licence but does not know the laws.

Suggest you go read the laws & only then come back & debate with me, it's easy for me to just come out & answer your Q's rehab but I wont.

I like to make peeps think for themselves & yes I've been pulled over on a few times times & told the cops I dont have a licence but they couldn't book me go read the handbook then come back & tell me why.

ps] I did have a licence since 1982 & let it expire when I got ill a few years back waterways stuffed up & lost records cause my licence should've been re-instated witout sitting another test & I was shocked when I saw how easy it was these days to get a licence & that would explain why there's so many fools on the water

[borisboga]

Isnt that DC's boat in his latest fishing report, the one with the twins on the back?
well thats why no one has ever seen DC making more than 10 knots.
and the reason he has those twin 115s... well he likes the grunt i guess. ...
his boats can make from north to 10 knots less then 5 secs... LOL...:hot tail:

I hope that isnt a reference to me...

I CLEARLY said I wasnt having a go, just asking a question, as CLEARLY I didnt know.

That is what is good about forums, picking up information you didnt already know, asking questions etc. Obviously we differ on that.

I try to remember that all of us started out at the same position (i.e knowing nothing) and I am more than willing to help with whatever information I can.

Respectfully suggest you try the same.

No it wasn't directed @ you rehab by any means was just trying to show how many peeps dont know the laws thats all.

Here's another one someone with no boating expirience @ all can go say up to broken Bay & hire say a 40 ft clipper & is permitted to drive it around no Q's asked.

Mate most of my boating over the years has been done offshore now out there waterways dont have control I'm allways the master of my vessels but there's allways someone with a licence on board & the reason I cant get booked.

[Mr Potato Head]

Isnt that DC's boat in his latest fishing report, the one with the twins on the back?

Maybe He Travels with a licensed observer in the boat and that allows him to do 20kts...

Im also pretty sure that most police boats do not have radar detectors also..

well done quinnie top stuff

[Mr Potato Head]

I did my license when i was 11 years old at san souci water police.

I did a two day course in the police boats and got certificates etc for it all... I then had to wait a month untill i turned 12 untill my license was actually valid... I have been driving boats since i was about 5 years old and water skiing, sailing, yachting etc etc so i knew most of the rules very young...

Like Dog catcher is saying, these days you neve even have to have driven a boat.. You can do it in 10 mins, and then drive a high speed boat out through the swell... Its a recepie for disaster...

Perhaps a course like i had done, even a half day course should be there for the boat license such as the car license..

[storms72]

Good on ya quinnie best bet to have one just in case mate....I'v only been out driving a few times since I got mine but its good to have that peace of mind!

Well MM I see you're another twit who may have a licence but has no idea about the laws.

You've been a bit quiet of late dont the jews want to know you anymore or is it you've not been able to catch any 5 kg ScreamingLiveDeadBaitYakka's to use as bait ??????????????

[storms72]

Geez Wayno, what've you started mate:rolling laughter: ...All those comments of yours about the laws...Yeah You really went into detail:confused: ....When we goin fishing next big fella...I heard there's some big jews round, let the fishing do the talking buddy I'm sure we know who the twit is here:pottytrain1:

[Dog Catcher]

...All those comments of yours about the laws...Yeah You really went into detail

Are you refering to me ?????

[mulloway mayhem]

i reckon all us fishos should never get a licence...if we ever get pulled up and questioned....all we have to say is DC said u dont need one,that will get us off............also we shouldnt obey anymore rules....keep under sized fish,keep more then the bag limit........why stop there,im not going to ever renew my fishing licence........

your such a good role model DC...i hope we can all learn from you.....all the ins and outs of the law.....even politics,you know everything about that....

religion.......and again you know everything about that to.......

and most of all fishing..........and u think you know me and what i do......well you know f%#@ all about me mate.....

i reckon we should change your name to KB.......Knowledge Box

maybe you should get a life and stop being such a twit yourself and your life must so exciting because all you ever do is sit infront of your pc and write crap about other people and put people down coz that makes you feel like a man......yeah big man KB........mate serious you most be the biggest twit here......:2gunsfiring_v1:

best of luck KB.....keep writing whatever you want about me or anyone else coz all your doin is showing us all how dumb you are mate........:nutkick:

[mr antenna]

M.MAYHEM,Have to agree with you on certain parts of ,what you wrote.
If your boat has the power to do over 10 knots you need a licence.Or has this changed?...................That,s all ill be saying.

[Mr Potato Head]

Undersized fish? no fishing license? bag limits?

Who said anything about that.... All he has said is that as long as he dont go over 10/20kts he is not breaking any laws!! Which is correct!!

I thinks you are going a bit overboard here "sir Mulloway"

All DC did to begin with is raise a VERY VALID point that the licensing system is a joke and that people with "ZERO" boating experiance can get a license and go out and go stupid...

His choice to have a license or not doesnt concern anyone but himself and if he was to get caught doing over his speed limit then its his problem, also boating insurance does not relate to licenses as does a car insurance..

I thinks yas should all relax a bit... go fishing or somthing!

I agree with your comments as well to a certain degree,but mr.p.head,Have to ask you.Are you saying that if your driving a boat and you smash it,say,into another boat.The insurance company are going to let it go ,if you are not licenced????????Like i said only asking,but find it hard to believe you would get a payout ,or a settlement?.

[Mr Potato Head]

You don not need a license to drive a boat at less than 10kts.. Insurance is covered by the boat, not the driver.. Unless the driver is drunk or going over his speed limit.. Think about a Yacht... You dont need a license to sail a 40ft yacht, so if you crash does this mean you cant be insured..

If you have a licensed driver with you you can do 20kts.. Its has nothing to do with capable speed or size of the boat..

Hope this clears a little up..

DC is correct in saying he is not breaking the law... Providing he does not go over his speed limit.

[Dog Catcher]

Thats exactly what he said & it is correct.

And again why I even stated that I do not have a licence that in it's own is a waterways stuff up not mine I've held one since 1982 but their computers say otherwise.

Again another reason I even bothered to even mention it was to see just how many licenced peeps out there even had a clue about the laws & up to this stage only a dismal odd one or 2.

But motor mouths like MM seems to know all the laws & all I can say to him is twit twit twit any more twits & he'd be growing feathers.

Just to clarify the law again for you mr antenna since you were one of few who asked nicely.

You only need a licence if the boat you are driving is doing over 10 knots irrellevant of how fast it can go.

But you need to register a boat if it is capable of going faster than 10 knots dont confuse the 2.

When you're out @ open sea [where most of my fishing is done] not all the laws of enclosed waters apply

[shags]

Gday Daniel.:ohhh yeah:

Well Done mate and NOW its all legal for you to have the use of the boat and travelling at speed..

Dont do NOTHING silly over the holiday period and landing you a FINE.

Well Done..

Craig:beerchug:

[mulloway mayhem]

i would bet my boat that when Kb is driving his boat out on the bay he is doin more then 10 knots.........so dont even bullshi7 anyone there.......

you know maybe your right about alot of guys dont have an idea and the have a licence ,atleast they have one....so does that mean KB is doin the right thing about not having one....dont think so.......

how many peopl eon the roads theses days sholdnt have a d/l.........heaps.........so should we all throw our hands up in the air and say f%$# it im not renewing my licence like a little child.........

[storms72]

While we're all throwing our opinions around I like most here have a boat licence, see no harm in it and its been handy when being out fishing with mates..No worries of being possibly pulled up (yeah the chances are very slim but you never know).. No restrictions on speed or having to fish with others due to not having one but above all it's certainly not an expense that will break the bank!

I think we should encourage especially the younger members here who have their licences like Quinnie and Tom to follow the rules--yes some rules do get broken but not the best idea to encourage others to do this in some cases!

[Mr Potato Head]

The tides have turned and we have been proven right, dont matter how fast you think he drives his boat... His original point was and is still correct......

I Agree fully with you that people should have there licenses, its especially good for Kids, and they should be out there driving boats and learning to drive them correctly..

I started driving boats at about 6yr old in my dads fishing boat and by the time I was 12 was driving a race LAB and 30ft Yachts around on my own... But I was taught the correct way to do it and that was all before i had my license... does that me i was in the wrong too?? Maybe.....

I have also completed my Maritime saftey corse, Rescue course and done half of my masters which after moving back inland never completed... If you really wanna get some experiance then go and do some of these courses.. basic maritine corses are available through the water police and can teach you many things, though not as much as spending time in your boat.

Anywayz... this has been fun....

What next....... Did someone say religion b4? ;)

[Dog Catcher]

mulloway mayhem you've just earned yourself some more twit points & I can see your plumage is coming along just fine now keep it up & pretty soon people wont be using the old saying

Yeah & http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4287/1pigflygif11ok.gifwill fly.

They'll be saying look up in the sky,
It's a Bird
No it's a plane
No it's Sir Mulloway

Do you really think I would give you any ammunition to have a go @ me ????

Keep Dreaming :rolling laughter:

While we're all throwing our opinions around I like most here have a boat licence

So what ????

There's a huge difference between having a piece of paper saying you paid a fee & actually knowing the Laws & Rules furthermore being in control of a vessel where you are not putting yourself & others @ risk & that is something very few licened peopl are capable of doing.

Just go down to the ramp on a weekend & see for yourself

see no harm in it and its been handy when being out fishing with mates..No worries of being possibly pulled up

The authorities can come & pull me up anytime I have no probs with that in fact they have in the past & these days just wave to me like I said & if you bothered reading what I'd written you would've realised I'm breaking no laws not my fault if they lost data of the computers back @ waterways nor should I lock up my boats & not use them because waterways wouldn't let me sit for the test a couple of months back when I went in to find out what was going on about my licence.

No need for me to study a book I know the rules & laws they had run out of those saftey DVD's which are compulsory to have Not View just have.

Women behind counter made that perfectly clear she said we dont give a stuff if you view it but you must have it 1st B4 sitting the test.

Whilst this was going on I watched a father standing over his sons shoulder giving him the answers to the sons test all in view of the staff behind the counter bit of a joke dont you think ????


Quinnie and Tom to follow the rules--yes some rules do get broken but not the best idea to encourage others to do this in some cases!

You show me where I broke a single rule ????

As far as the young guys go think it's more important to teach them the correct way to master a vessel cause waterways sure as hell is not interested in doing that all they want is fee's.

[nimrod]

Quinnie. Congratulations on getting your licence mate, first go, well done.
Frank

[mulloway mayhem]

so KB your tellin me whether your targeting bream,snapper or evern yft you dont go any faster then 10knots and if another licenced guy with you ,you dont go any faster then 20knots.......please correct me if im wrong but i bet my bottom dollar that you drive fater then that.....

now im not questioning your intelligence on boat driving skills or anything but you should have a licence and you know you dont obide by all the rules.......

now who is the twit.........:rolling laughter: :rolling laughter:

[BONECRUSHER]

Nice one on the licence Quinny.


I only got my licence a little under two years ago at 25 but from 14-25 never used a licence to drive boats mainly around the spit and manly where its pretty much danger free.

It all comes down to experiance more than anything. Knowledge of signals and signage. And not being a tool driving like mad. Fun is fun but there is a line.

One ski trip to dargal some guy just down the river put his mate into a whip on a innertube, onto the beach and put the guy straight into a boat on the shore and killed him in front of his family. Not good.

your average guy wont remember every law but as long they remember the basics and dont drive around stupidly. It can reduce the risks. Maybe there should be a trailer reversing test as well. lol

Oh and i sometimes see the water police hanging in the moorings around the spit busting drivers for speeding through the 8 knot zone.

[Fed]

Dog Catcher can't do 20 Knts, he doesn't have a licence.

[Dog Catcher]

now who is the twit.........

You've still got that title no wukka's about that & you're either very good @ it or you're overdosing on on TWIT pills :rolling laughter:

your tellin me whether your targeting bream,snapper or evern yft

Still trying to work you out ??

You're either illiterate or cant absorb what you are reading I know you're not too clued up on boating laws but I did mention that the majority of my fishing is off shore & the speed restrictions dont apply once you've cleared enclosed waters so what part of that dont you understand ????

Lay off the TWIT Pills & you may finally comprehend what I'm saying.

You are a perfect example why I chose to start having a dig in this thread you may have a licence but you sure as hell dont have a clue about the laws nor rules that licence requires you know so you tell me who is the twit ????

[Fed]

It sounds like a few of these licenced drivers need to be re-tested.

[TomMc]

DC, ive just read the licensing part of the boating handbook as well as the maritime site before i decided i replied. Of course i dont have as much experience as yourself or nimrod or haji or MM...
But in the book it says that people without lisences are alowed to travel up to ten knots. It doesnt say over 20 knots with a lisenced person on board anywhere. A person with a juniours lisence can travel at 20 knots with a full lisenced adult on board.
DC im thinking you may have the two confused???
Just my point of view...

[Fed]

So all the "licenced" drivers here talking about Dog Catcher doing 20Knts don't know what they;re talking about? HaHaHaHa!

[Mr Potato Head]

Thats what he has been saying all along Tom, he can do Up to 20knots with a licensed adult.. not over!

[hairy]

It sounds like a few of these licenced drivers need to be re-tested.
i would think it is time u all took the big blue kool down pill and get back on topick, well dune little mate enjoy your fishing.:headbang::headbang::headbang:

[Mr Potato Head]

Maybe i am wrong about the 20kts? Let us know when you find out Tom

[Fed]

Let's lobby the MSB to get these "licenced" drivers re-tested because they don't know the rules.

No he can't Pot Head, it's been a while since he was under 16 years old mate.:rolling laughter:

[TomMc]

Potato, first of all re-read my reply and then find an article that states a non-lisenced adult can travel over 20 knots with a full lisenced adult on board...
Ive looked at both the maritime site and the book and cant find it anywhere.

EDIT: goodwork potato change your post!:rolling laughter: :rolling laughter: sarcasim mate...yer ill let you know tomorrow...

[mr antenna]

Dog Catcher can't do 20 Knts, he doesn't have a licence.

Well dog catcher ,is not even supposed to go over 10knots.
But ffs DC,you go on ,n on n on about it been every one elses fault.
Give it a break.

This starting to turn into a Gay fight.
Sorry i asked the question from the start.

[Mr Potato Head]

Guys I would like to stand corrected on one part of my argument... I think there is more involved and will follow it up futher.

Hopefully this will clear a few things up.. Its is from "WATER TRAFFIC REGULATIONS--N.S.W. - REG 15E "

15E Drivers (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) of certain vessels to be licensed

(1) If the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) of a personal watercraft (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#personal_watercraft) on any navigable waters is not the holder of a licence authorising the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) to drive the craft, both the owner and the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) of the craft are guilty of an offence against this regulation. (2) If the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) of a vessel other than a personal watercraft (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#personal_watercraft) that is being driven at a speed (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#speed) of or exceeding 10 knots on any navigable waters is not the holder of a licence authorising the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) to drive the vessel concerned, both the owner and the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) of the vessel are guilty of an offence against this regulation. (3) This regulation does not apply to the owner or driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) of a vessel if all the following conditions are met:(a) the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver)’s usual place of residence is in a State (other than New South Wales) or Territory of the Commonwealth, (b) the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver) has not been in New South Wales continuously during the 3 months preceding the date on which he or she is driving the vessel, (c) the driver (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/wtr301/s2.html#driver):(i) is the holder of a current licence or other authority to drive a vessel of the class to which the vessel belongs, being an authority issued under a law for the time being in force in another State or Territory, and (ii) is complying with all the terms and conditions imposed in respect of the exercise of the authority by or under that law, so far as those terms and conditions are capable of being applied to the exercise of the authority in New South Wales.

mr antenna everything seems to be Gay with You what gives ???? :rolling laughter:

But in the book it says that people without lisences are alowed to travel up to ten knots.

Tom you'll find no where where I've said otherwise all I ever said was that when out of enclosed waters I open up the throatles nothing more nothing less.

[TomMc]

OK DC i understand, just potato was giving off the impression:lol:

good stuff potato, unlike some here your willing to admit when your wrong.:headbang:

hopefully this thread doesnt turn into another catfight...

good stuff potato, unlike some here your willing to admit when your wrong.:headbang:

As much as i hate it!! But yea, I was wrong...

Still think some good points have been raised though....

Just have a look @ how many didn't have a clue about when a licence was required & how many out there have boats not capable of doing 10 knots but still pay a licence fee every year.

While there has been some interesting points within the thread, I will warn you all, that while a good debate is encouraged and lot's can be learnt from both sides of any debate, I will remind you to not call each other names.
I wouldn't like to have to put an end to a good debate.

Congrats on passing your licence test Daniel. Good to see you doing the 'right' thing :smiile:
MM, were you the school bully in your younger days? You're a piece of work. If someone isn't in your clique, or disagrees with you, then you tear them up - or try to. When I wrote my first post on this forum, I got an immediate PM from YOU - nasty and inflamatory. Thanks for the Rep Power rating too, btw.
When I hear the phrase "a legend in his own mind" then a mental picture of you comes up. You have the last word - matey - it will make you feel all powerful. I don't know you, but are you a small man with a big chip on your shoulder? Just wondering.

I can see this thread is not going to get any better.
I tried to give fair warning but the EGO's won't allow things to settle down
with each wanting the last say.
You blokes can start your own thread if you want to pick faults with
each other, but get out of this one.
It's not fair to Quinnie that 3/4 of his thread has been taken up with
blokes trying to out do each other and tell the world how good they are.
This is the last warning. Anymore nit picking of members and the thread will be locked.
Sorry for all the members that are sitting back enjoying this little barney, but it's just not fair to the Author of the thread to have it turn into this.
Start your own topic about how good you are and as long as you stay within the rules you can pick the crap out of each other.

Anyway it's been a long read, sorry i forgot, was it Daniel who got his licence? If so congrats young man...10 knots, 20 knots who cares this thread was about a young man getting his boat licence. One of my young fellas is iching tio get his, 6months away yet...I hope when he does he doesn't read this type of thread...I just rang to inquire about my wife getting her licence and she has to sit a course, and if chooses too do a practical course also, so by saying it's easier isn't true....The questions are easier than a car licence agreed and managing a boat is worlds appart from a car, so it is a great idea that was introduced back in 2006 for these courses...Never had them when i got it...So cheers Daniel and i hope my son is as pumped as you when he gets it...Be careful, be safe and enjoy :headbang:

The questions are easier than a car licence agreed and managing a boat is worlds appart from a car, so it is a great idea that was introduced back in 2006 for these courses...Never had them when i got it...

sclark3 those courses have been around for as long as I can remember maybe not by the same people as you are refering to but nonrtheless they're been around for @ least a couple of decades.

Dont quote but if not mistaken I think they are run by the Voluntee Coastal Patrol & think any young licencee or older licencee without a great deal of boating expirience should make the effort to attend one of these courses.

The younfer guys tend to pick up bad habits as indriving a car from their parents if they have any bad habits & the corses would steer them in the right direction.

Dont know about other area's but down my way those courses were conducted in a little club on the water @ Ramsgate every 6 weelks I believe
