UPDATE REQUEST: Driver licence query

[shakyle2906]

Hi

Sorry, started new thread as desperate for any news on this ?

On last thread it says that things may change as regards the theory test ?

Can anyone update on situation ?? Hubby has to sort out within next 6 weeks and rang AA and she didnt understand what he was on about!

Thanks

Sharon

Haven't read about the changes coming in to force but I would just get your OH to take the theory test that way he won't have to worry about it

Hi Sharon,

I cannot find your initial question but Mark and I went to AA and provided our drivers licences, proof of address and little bit money for the exam. We just sat and took the exam (35 easy questions) and because they are exactly like the scratchies at the petrol stations. You find out there and then if you have passed. And they gave us temporary licences, Last week Mark received his full driver's licence.
It is different for me as I had Turkish International licence, but I'll take my practical and get licence in 10 days too

Thanks Asli

He has tried already and failed, he got totally frustrated as he has been driving for best part of 25yrs and feels that people over here drive like lunatics and ranted on and on............ Just thought i would make a discreet query on his behalf!!

Forgive me I'm wrong as I haven't had time to read this properly but someone posted thiss link in the last thread about this issue & if you go on it now it says something about June 08??

http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/SC/Bu...committees.htm

the bit at the bottom says
Land Transport (Driver Licensing) Amendment Bill (submissions not called, 30 June 2008)

Is that the bit were looking for?

Grrrrr ....means we will have to both do the theory test as our year runs out in May.

You could always pop over to Australia for a few days. As soon as you come back, the 12 months starts again. ( Probably easier and cheaper to do the test)

Hi Sharon,

Hubby and I have just done the theory test and found the following site (possibly it's been mentioned on ENZ before ?) to be extremely helpful for practice:

http://www.communitylaw.org.nz/licen...icle+questions

If you do bunches of these 'scratch' tests to practice (you can choose either the quick test with 10 questions or the full test with 33), you're bound to have seen all the actual questions you could possibly get on the actual test.

If you want to be sure you've seen them all, check out the Land Transport site. Here you will find the general questions:

http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/roa...questions.html

and here the specialist questions for car drivers:

http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/roa...ions-cars.html

Unfortunately the Land Transport site doesn't give you the answers directly, which is why we found the first site so useful for practice.

With this tool in hand we breezed through the theory test (both with full marks !) and are now proud owners of a Kiwi licence ! Hope you and your hubby find it useful as well...

Cheers,
Silver
