Restricted licence Conditions

To keep you safe while you’re still learning, there are some conditions you must follow while on your restricted licence:

Between 5am and 10pm you can drive on your own.
Between 10pm and 5am you can only drive if you have a supervisor in the front passenger seat.
If you’re driving without a supervisor, you can only take a passenger if they are:
your spouse or partner (for example the person you live with as if you’re married or in a civil union)
a child who is financially dependent on you or your spouse (for example you’re their parent or guardian) and who normally resides with you or your spouse
your parent or guardian
relatives that live with you and are on a social security benefit
someone you look after as their primary caregiver.
Be prepared to show evidence to a police officer if requested.

If you sit your restricted practical test in an automatic vehicle, you’ll have a condition on your licence that means you can only drive automatic vehicles. This condition doesn’t apply if you have a supervisor with you.

A Waka Kotahi spokesperson told 1News the licence would be carried on people's phones, and would be optional.

The more practice a new driver gets, the less likely they are to crash once they start driving alone.

You should aim for your learner driver to have 120 hours of supervised driving before sitting their restricted test. This works out to about 2–2½ hours per week for a year or so.

The 120 hours doesn’t need to be all through a structured lesson. Once your learner has got the basics of car control and driving in traffic, they should be repeating their skills well every time. Now you can let them drive you on trips you’d normally be making, like to the supermarket or a sports match.

Once controlling the car is natural, you can start building up their experience in different traffic conditions and road types – like driving in the wet, at night, and on rural roads.
