They wanted $600 for full coverage insurance even without a driver history? Or you brought your history with you.
Amazing haha… I’ve always read NZ has some pretty strict road rules though, but I can’t remember the context now.
How are you liking it there so far? Which area did you locate to? Should post about your adventure in the travel forum!

How are you liking it there so far? Which area did you locate to? Should post about your adventure in the travel forum! | The woman asked me a bunch of questions about my driving record, and it's all entered on good will by Canadian passport / DL mix
The people that drive here are are nuts, I drove to Piha yesterday, through the winding roads, it's all 35-55 zoned, there a good 4-6 of us all keeping 70-90 in slalom.... Not sure if I got a good batch of randoms, or this is just life 
20C weather  how can I complain.
Il probably end up posting bits and pieces on random threads. Will be in Raglan most of the time

2.70$ for regular  | Did you get a visa to live and work there? Or you doing some kind of TG shenanigans with buying a car?

I hear there's snow in Vancouver | That's cool! I wonder if you'll like it so much that you'll just stay there. Heard it's a great place.
Yeah there was a little white stuff that fell. Not sure what all the fuss was about | |

Gonna derail this thread some more 
Went in for an HVAC interview two days ago, by the looks of it, I have a temp position for the next 3 months.
The one thing I messed up is not getting a local bank account and tax number set up in advance.
If I'm lucky, they are gonna let me know tomorrow if they can just bank my hours, otherwise I'm gonna need to wait 2-3 weeks before they can legally employ me
The pay is probably gonna be half of what I normally make, but considering: I don't have 10k in tools with me, I'm here temporarily, it's part time, and way more than me getting some serving or retail job, il take it

Anyone knows the cutoff year that ICBC isn't using blue/black book for taxation and goes old style by what you declared you bought?
Is it 20 years? Or 2000 and older?

i didn't think I could hate ICBC more but I have a new peeve
Over the course of the year I visit many different brokers. I don't care who it is - whoever is closer. I have zero loyalty to the brokers. Pick up, drop off, swap plates - whatever.
Now that the online renewal has begun - i thought this would reduce my interaction w useless brokers.
I have received 5!! reminder calls in the past 3 days that my insurance is up this week - all from different brokerages. Places I have been sure - but not for this specific car. Does every broker I've ever been to now have unlimited access to the ICBC database to see what cars are up for renewal?
FUCK OFF I KNOW IT'S DUE. WHY WOULD I PAY EARLY. NEVER CALL ME AGAIN
I hope they're getting screwed by the online renewals. The whole system is shit.

I went to renew online, and it said I had to download some bullshit government app for my phone? Why would I give them that kind of access?

Isn't it the bc services app? It's linked to a lot of other government sites for using online services.
