If you live in Whanganui and have been disqualified or had your licence suspended, a limited licence may allow you to continue driving for work and essential purposes.
Whanganui transport
Whanganui has a basic bus network, but its limited frequency and hours mean it is not a viable commuting option for many workers. Evening and weekend workers have no public transport option. Rural areas around Whanganui, including farming communities along the Whanganui River, have no bus service at all.
Hardship arguments in Whanganui
Even in areas with some public transport, the court considers whether buses are a practical alternative for your specific situation. If your work hours do not align with bus schedules, if your workplace is outside the bus network, or if you need to carry tools and equipment, these factors all support a hardship argument.
Common situations include factory workers doing shift work at industrial sites, tradespeople who travel to multiple locations, and rural workers in the Whanganui district.
