Driving test in New Zealand?
My partner and I are going to New Zealand in November for a few months and the plan is to buy a camper and drive around, checking out the sights!
The only slight hitch with this plan is I haven't yet passed my driving test (!!) I have one booked in England but if it doesn't go well I may not have time to rebook and try again before we leave.
My question is, can I take another driving test in New Zealand? What requirements would I have to meet to do so? We will be entering with a working holiday visa.
Best Answer
This is a mistake.
Driving isn't book knowledge. Driving is about experience. Don't attempt to drive in a foreign country until you've racked up years of daily experience driving at home.
That is why the process to get a license is so tortuous. And you shouldn't circumvent that by ticking away the months with little actual driving in that time. Buy a cheap old car. Drive it everyday around the neighborhood, then graduate to around town, then go farther, then try motorways. And learn stick!

This is impossible as you need to hold a learners licence for at least 6 months before you take the test.
From the AA Website:
You must be 16 1/2 or older and have held a learners license for at least 6 months to take your restricted practical test.
