To drive any form of motorized vehicle in Rarotonga it is required that you have a Cook Island drivers license. The test is taken at the rental depot. The examiner is supposed to test a list of skills including balance, use of indicators, sharp turns, stopping and starting as well as a few theoretical rules.
After a 20 second loop in the parking lot the examiner had seen Pär pass all the skills required. Mind you he must have had eyes on the back of his head. Before the helmet was even buckled up his phone rang and he turned around in the other direction. His phone conversation ended just as Pär finished the test.
With this official drivers license (that had to be picked up from the police station) Pär is now allowed to drive any form of motor bike and car anywhere in the Cook Islands. We are looking forward to trying to convert it into a Canadian motor bike license this summer:)
