It's very important to make sure you have a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front, so you have enough time if you need to stop suddenly. It also gives you a better view of the road ahead and the hazards you need to avoid.

Several seconds will pass from the time you see the hazard until you can come to a complete stop. This is because you need time to react to the hazard and take action. Consider the time it takes to put your foot on the brake, as well as the time for the brakes to slow the vehicle down.

The faster you're going, the longer it'll take to stop. This means you must increase your following distance as you increase your speed.

Important!

Some people take longer to react to hazards than others.

If you're tired, or your reaction times are slower than normal, you should increase your following distance.

Keeping a safe following distance

A good way to make sure you always keep a safe following distance is to use the 2-second rule or the 4-second rule.

The 2-second rule

Under normal conditions, the 2-second rule is an easy way to make sure you've allowed enough following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, no matter what speed you're travelling at.

To check if you're travelling 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front:

watch the vehicle in front of you pass a landmark - such as a sign, tree or power pole - at the side of the road

as it passes the landmark, start counting 'one thousand and one, one thousand and 2'

if you pass the landmark before you finish saying those 8 words, you're following too closely - slow down, pick another landmark and repeat the words to make sure you've increased your following distance.

The 4-second rule

In bad weather, when the road is wet or slippery, or if you're towing a trailer, you need to increase your following distance to 4 seconds, because you'll take longer to stop if you need to.

If the vehicle behind you is following too closely you should:

increase your following distance to 4 seconds from the vehicle in front of you. This gives you time and space to slow down gradually and reduce the risk of sudden braking and being hit from behind.

when it's safe, you can pull over to the side of the road and let the vehicle pass you.

To check that you're travelling 4 seconds behind the vehicle in front, follow the instructions for the 2‑second rule, but count from one thousand and one to one thousand and 4 instead.

Important!

When you're following another vehicle and you don't intend to overtake them, you must leave enough space in front of your vehicle for vehicles behind you to pass.

Most of the signs you see on New Zealand roads are international symbolic signs. This means they use the same shapes and symbols as traffic signs all over the world.

Symbolic signs are used because they are quick to read and easy for all drivers to understand.

New Zealand's signs are generally made of reflective material, making them easier to read at night.

The three types of signs

The signs on our roads can be divided into three types:

1. compulsory signs

2. warning signs

3. information signs.

You must be able to recognise and understand each type of sign.

Some examples of these signs, particularly related to heavy vehicles, are shown on below.

Note: the examples shown are only a small sample of the symbolic signs used on New Zealand's roads. They are intended to familiarise you with the three main types of symbolic sign rather than introduce you to all of the signs you will see when driving.

Compulsory signs

Compulsory signs tell you what you must or must not do.

They are usually red or blue.

Important

Road authorities (for example, local councils) may have special rules for road users in specific areas. These restrictions should be indicated by signs or markings.

Some compulsory signs have red borders.

Warning signs

Warning signs alert you to a particular hazard on the road ahead. They warn you to be careful for your own safety, the safety of other road users or the safety of road workers carrying out maintenance.

There are two types of warning signs:

1. those that warn you of a permanent hazard

2. those that warn you of a temporary hazard.

Both types of sign are usually diamond shaped.

Permanent warning signs

Permanent warning signs are yellow and black.

Temporary warning signs

Temporary warning signs are orange and black.

Information signs

Information signs give you useful information, for example, the distance to the next town. They are all rectangular, but come in a range of different colours and sizes.

Before you even start to learn to drive on the road, you'll need to get a learner licence.

Once you receive your learner licence (after applying for your licence and passing the theory test) you can start learning to drive in a car or other light vehicle.

Who can apply for a learner licence?

To apply for a learner licence you have to be at least 16 years old.

How do I apply for a learner licence?

You'll need to go to a driver licensing agent to:

Driver licensing agents

Medical declaration

To ensure all drivers on our roads are medically fit to drive, the driver licence application form contains a medical declaration.

Every applicant has to complete this declaration. If you have any of the following conditions listed, you may need to provide a medical certificate.

The declaration asks you to declare these types of medical condition:

diabetes

locomotive joint or limb problems

strokes

nervous or mental disorders

high blood pressure

seizures, fits, convulsions, epilepsy

serious injuries (for example, head or spinal injuries)

visual disturbances (for example, cataracts, double vision, glaucoma)

cerebral vascular accidents or disease

cognitive impairment

any other condition that may affect your ability to drive safely.

Medical certificates
Organ donation

When you fill out your driver licence application form, you'll be asked the following question:

'Would you be willing to donate organs in the event of your death?'

We can't produce a driver licence for you until you have ticked either 'Yes' or 'No'.

By ticking the 'Yes' box and signing the form, you are indicating your wish to be identified as an organ and tissue donor and have the word 'donor' printed on your driver licence. It's also put on your record on the driver licence database.

In the event of your death, your family may be asked for their agreement before organs or tissue are removed for donation. That's why it is very important to discuss your decision with your family.

It's a good idea to think about organ donation before you go to the driver licensing agent.

If you would like more information about organ and tissue donation, contact Organ Donation New Zealand:

Learner licence theory test

The learner licence theory test is designed to test whether your knowledge of the road rules is good enough for you to learn to drive on the road. Knowing the road rules is important for you to become a safe driver.

You will sit the theory test at a driver licensing agent.
Driver licensing agents
Note: you shouldn't take anyone else with you while you are sitting the test. If you do take dependent children (under the age of eight) with you, it is at your own risk as they may distract you, which could cause you to fail the test.

Computerised theory test

The test is made up of 35 questions about road rules, road hazards and safety practices that relate to the type of vehicle licence you are applying for. The questions will appear in a random order.

New Zealand's driver licensing system shows the classes of licence you can apply for.

The questions have a mix of multi-choice and true/false answers. You select the answer you think is correct by clicking on it. You can change your mind after clicking an answer but it will be locked in when you decide to move on to the next question. You will know if you have correctly answered the question before the next question displays.

To pass the theory test you need to get at least 32 questions right out of 35. If you get more than three questions wrong, you will need to book to take the test again at another time, and you'll need to pay another test fee, but not another application fee.

If you pass the test, you'll be given a temporary learner licence, which is valid for 21 days. Use it until you receive your photo driver licence in the mail.

How should I prepare for the theory test?

Before you book your theory test, you need to be thoroughly familiar with the road rules. You will need to read and learn everything in The official New Zealand road code. You will probably need to read it several times to know and understand everything you need to know to be a safe driver.

To help you learn the road rules, you can test yourself against the questions from the theory test. You can also use our free website Drive to access real theory test questions and play games and quizzes to help you remember the road code.
Theory test questions www.drive.govt.nz(external link)
Speech or language difficulties

If you are having difficulty preparing for your theory test because of a reading or language difficulty, there are several organisations that may be able to help:

People with reading difficulties can also apply for:

extra time to complete the theory test

the theory test to be given orally.

Besides English, the computerised theory test is available in the following languages:

For more information about these options, talk to your driver licensing agent when you book your test.

There are also options for people with English language difficulties when taking the practical driving tests. Talk to a driver licensing agent or call us on 0800 822 422 for more information.
Driver licensing agents
What are the conditions of a learner licence?

You must have your learner licence with you whenever you are driving.

You must not drive on your own. You must always be accompanied by a supervisor, who must always sit in the front passenger seat beside you.
What is a Supervisor?

If you are learning to ride a moped, you must not ride it between 10pm and 5am and you must not carry passengers.

You must display L (learner) plates on the vehicle at all times when you are driving. Failure to display L plates could result in 25 demerit points and a fine of $100.

There's no law stopping you from carrying passengers in your car. However, if you do, your supervisor (who will, of course, be seated next to you in the vehicle) must agree to this. The supervisor is responsible for everyone in the vehicle and for what happens when you're driving.

There is a zero alcohol limit if you are under 20. That means if you drive after consuming even one drink you can be charged with drink-driving.

If you have an alcohol level of less than 150 micrograms per litre of breath, or less than 30 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood, you could be fined and given 50 demerit points.

If your alcohol level is higher, you could be disqualified from driving, given 50 demerit points or either fined or imprisoned.

If you're 20 or older, the legal alcohol limit is 250 micrograms per litre of breath or 50 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood.

If you have an alcohol level between 251 and 400 micrograms per litre of breath, or between 51 and 80 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood, you could be fined and given 50 demerit points.

If your alcohol level is higher, you could be disqualified from driving and either fined or imprisoned.

Note

If you are not complying with your licence conditions the police can prevent you from continuing to drive until you are able to comply with the conditions of your licence. They may also direct you to drive straight home, take your keys, immobilise your vehicle, or have it moved to a place where it is not a traffic hazard.

Breaching the learner conditions of your driver licence (other than failing to display L plates) could result in you receiving 35 demerit points and a fine of $100. If you breach any other conditions of your driver licence you could receive 25 demerit points and be subject to a fine of $400.
Demerit points
Your new learner licence will be valid for five years. You can now drive on the open road and gain the skills and experience that will enable you to progress to the next stage. When you feel you are ready you can apply for your restricted licence. If you do not progress during the five-year period, you will need to pass a theory test before your learner licence can be issued for a further five years.

L plates

If you're driving with a Class 1 or Class 6 learner licence, you must display L plates on your vehicle.

L plates show other road users that you are a learner driver, so they will be more considerate of you on the road while you are learning to drive. They also mean that police officers can make sure learner drivers are following the conditions of their licence.

The L plate must have a black L on a yellow background and must be at least as large as the measurements shown on the following diagram.

If you're driving a car, van or ute, your L plates:

must be displayed on both the front and rear of the vehicle

must be displayed where it is clearly visible to other road users

must not restrict your front or rear vision.

If you're riding a moped, you must display an L plate on the back of your moped.

L plates can be purchased from driver licensing agents, or you can make your own.
Driver licensing agents
Learning to drive

Learning to drive is a big responsibility and it is important that you develop good driving skills so you will be a safe driver on our roads.

Professional or private instruction?

You can decide whether to get training from a qualified professional driving instructor or whether you want to get a friend or family member to teach you (a driving coach).

Many people do a mixture of both, getting lots of practice with a driving coach but having some lessons with a driving instructor to improve their skills.

Learning to drive with an instructor

Driving instructors charge a fee for training and must:

hold a driving instructor (I) endorsement for each class of licence they want
to teach

sit in the front passenger seat when they're instructing you.

Before your first lesson, ask the instructor to show you proof that they hold a current driving instructor endorsement.

Learning to drive with a driving coach

A driving coach is someone you know who is willing to teach you how to drive.

Like any driving supervisor, they must hold a current and valid full New Zealand car licence (without a supervisor condition) and have held this (or an equivalent overseas licence) for at least two years.

Your coach should:

carry their driver licence at all times when supervising your driving

be prepared to commit to the time needed for you to practise

be a responsible, skilled and confident driver

be an effective communicator, able to get information and ideas across clearly

have the patience to instruct you effectively

be able to teach and build on previous lessons

review, evaluate and assess your progress.

A driving skills syllabus is included in the road code to help your coach when you're learning to drive.
Driving skills syllabus

What is a supervisor?

When you drive on your learner licence, you must always drive with a supervisor.

Your supervisor is in charge of the vehicle and must:

hold a current and valid full New Zealand licence (which does not have a supervisor condition) for the same class of vehicle you're learning to drive

have held their New Zealand full licence (or an equivalent overseas licence) for at least two years

sit in the passenger seat next to you at all times when you are driving

carry their driver licence with them.

To make our roads safer, two of the give way rules changed in March 2012.

These changes affected all drivers, riders, pedestrians and cyclists.

Go to our Resources page to access further information such as videos, leaflets and posters, or resources for deaf people and those with a vision impairment.

Or you can test yourself on the give way rules with our interactive quiz.

Change 1: The left-turn versus right-turn rule

This rule now requires all traffic turning right to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and turning left. This applies at cross roads, T-intersections and driveways where both vehicles are facing each other with no signs or signals, or the same signs or signals.

Think: If you're turning right, give way.

Examples of common situations where the new rule applies are shown below. In each of the diagrams below the RED car with the dotted arrow has to give way to the GREEN car with the solid arrow:

a) Both vehicles facing each other with no signs or signals

b) Both vehicles facing give way signs

c) Both vehicles facing stop signs

d) Both vehicles facing green traffic signals

Change 2: The uncontrolled T-intersections rule

Uncontrolled means when there are no signs or signals to tell you what to do.

At an uncontrolled T-intersection, all traffic from a terminating road (bottom of the T) should give way to all traffic on a continuing road (top of the T). This brings it into line with T-intersections where there are stop or give way signs on the terminating road.

Think: Top of the T goes before me.

In the diagram below the RED car with the dotted arrow has to give way to the GREEN car with the solid arrow:

This rule change also applies at uncontrolled driveways, such as at a supermarket or hospital. The traffic exiting the driveway should give way to all traffic on the road.

All vehicles entering or exiting a driveway must continue to give way to pedestrians on a footpath, or cyclists and pedestrians on a cycle path or shared path. Drivers should not pull out to block the footpath in front of pedestrians and cyclists.

Did all the give way rules at intersections change?

No. Traffic signs and signals are placed at intersections to show road users what they need to do and this will not change.

Here is a snapshot of the give way rules that now apply:

1. Road users should continue to obey all road signs and signals.

2. If you are turning, give way to all vehicles not turning. Note: If the road is marked with a centre line, you are deemed to be turning if you leave the path of the centre line. If you follow the path of the centre line, you are deemed to be not turning.

3. If you are turning right, give way to all vehicles coming towards you including those turning left. Note: This applies if both vehicles are facing no signs or signals or the same signs or signals. NEW RULE

4. At a T-intersection or driveway, traffic on a terminating road (bottom of the T) must give way to all traffic on a continuing road (top of the T). NEW RULE

5. If all other give way rules (or signs or signals) do not determine who gives way, give way to vehicles coming from your right. (An example of this is at cross roads controlled by traffic signals when the signals have failed and all approaches have a flashing yellow light.)

( Note: This is not a comprehensive list of road rules. Additional rules and traffic scenarios can be found in the .)

Did the rules change at roundabouts?

No. You should continue to give way to all vehicles that will cross your path from your right as you enter a roundabout.

Knowing your blind spots

The main blind spots for a car are along each side and slightly behind the driver, but there can be others. Get an idea of where your blind spots are by getting another person to walk around your car. Ask them to keep at least a car's width away while you make a note of the places where you can't see them in your mirrors.

Dealing with blind spots

Make the blind spots around your car as small as possible by adjusting your side mirrors. You should have them so that the sides of your car are just out of sight.

A shoulder check is a quick turn of the head, either left or right, to look out your side window. Shoulder checking (sometimes called a head check) is an important way to see what's in your blind spots.

When to check your blind spots

Before you pull out from the kerb

Before you parallel park or leave a park

Before and during a three-point turn or U-turn

Before merging with other traffic

Before changing lanes (including when you pass or overtake another vehicle)

Before you turn, but only if there's a chance that another vehicle could have moved into your blind spot

When reversing on the road or backing out of a driveway

Whenever you're unsure about what's around your car.

Staying out of blind spots

Knowing where your own blind spots are will help you stay out of other people's blind spots.

Avoid driving in other people's blind spots. When you're alongside another vehicle, either drive ahead of them or drop back. You want to make sure there's a bit of distance so you can both see each other clearly.
