The second step towards being an independent driver

Passing your Restricted License test is your first stage of independent driving, once you have held your Learner License for six months you are eligible to sit your Restricted License test.

The Restricted License test is an hour long test designed to assess your ability to drive safely on the road. Consisting of a pre-drive vehicle check, practical assessment and post-drive feedback session with your assessor.

School students are also eligible for 4 NCEA level 2 credits if they pass their Restricted License test.

 Key skills that you must feel confident in are:

• Changing lanes at high speed in traffic
• Driving to the speed limit
• Parallel parking in no more than four movements
