ENZ Learner Drivers Club!

[Tia Maria]

Be afraid, be very afraid (particularly in Devonport), as I am learning to drive in NZ. At the ripe old age of hgsnnhffg I've decided to give it a go.

Passed my theory test, no problem. And I have just started the practical side.

Its all a bit of a blur at the moment, and I find it kind of funny that someone is actually letting me drive a car, so we'll see how it goes.

Anyone else learning to drive in NZ?

Cheers

Tia

I am!

Well... I passed my theory test last week, but haven't started lessons yet.

And I thought I was the only grown up in the whole of New Zealand who didn't know how to drive!

I am plucking up the courage to start learning again..........havent been in a car since we moved here last April.............

I am such a nervous driver!

Do you have to do theory here before practical like in UK ??

Actually there are a few round Devonport as its probably one of the few areas you can get away with not using a car.

My lessons are costing $60 but she says most people only need 5, with maybe one extra just before the test!

When will you start lessons? Are you being taught by an instructor or family?

I have a manic/nervous grin on my face for the whole lesson!

You do have to do a theory test and if you get the road code book that will tell you all you need to know.

Some sample questions here:

Thanks Tia

How much are the lessons ?
Can you do intense driving courses like in UK ?

I so want to drive but am so so nervous.

I'm planning to start lessons in the next couple of weeks. I'm going to have proper lessons - my husband has offered to teach me, but we haven't been married long, and it would be a shame if we didn't make it to our first wedding anniversary.

Good luck you guys, if I had known about you Tia, I would not have ventured into Devonport yesterday......

Having lived in London I've never learned to drive, so I'm going to have to learn once I get to New Zealand. I use public transport or cycle, while my wife drives (she's a Kiwi) so she's in charge of the car.

Not looking forward to it, to be honest.
