Road Code for Motorcyclists
The official New Zealand road code for motorcyclists is a user-friendly guide to New Zealand’s traffic law and safe driving practices. You will be tested on this information in your theory and practical driving tests. Read the Motorcycle road code introduction and updates.
Practice
ACC and the NZ Transport Agency have created Practice to give learner drivers and their supervisors (coaches) a structured plan for getting two or more hours driving practice a week. More importantly it gives you, the learner, the tools for developing safe driving habits, and your coach the tools for encouraging you.
Computerised theory tests are now available, and the NZ Transport Agency have launched a new website with practice questions. Visit Road Code Practice. The practice licence tests can help you become familiar with and prepare for the theory test you will need to pass when applying for a learner licence. These tests are conducted on the NZ Transport Agency's computerised theory testing system.
ThinkSafe
The ACC's ThinkSafe Injury Prevention website has a huge range of resources and useful information to help you prepare for driving on New Zealand roads.
SafeTeenDriver
The NZTA has launched a campaign targetting parents of teen drivers asking them to stay involved when their teen gets their Restricted licence. This campaign gives parents practical advice and free tools via a dedicated new website SafeTeenDriver. RoadSmart encourages parents of teen learner drivers to visit this website and try out the online tools available.
Driving Skills Syllabus
A series of 30 lessons with resources and checksheets for your driving coach (supervisor) for your on-road driving practice sessions. Use the driving log to record your hours of practice.
