15 is the age for a learner's licence. You need to pass a theory test and pay a fee. After 6 months, you can sit a practical driving test, pay another fee, and get a restricted licence. Then, if aged under 25, you can apply for a full driver's licence after a further 18 months, which can be reduced to 12 months by completing an appoved course, such as a defensive driving course. You need to pass another test, and pay another fee to get your full licence.
While you have a learner's licence you must always be accompanied by someone who has held a full NZ licence for at least 2 years. The requirement to be accompanied by a supervisor also applies while on a restriced licence, if you want to carry passengers or drive between 10pm and 5am. You must also display L plates when you are on a learner's licence.
Check out this website, it has all the information about driver's licensing in NZ - your son can start swotting up on the NZ road code online before he gets here, if he wants:

15 - learner's license. You can only drive if a person with full license sits in the passenger seat and no one else in the back.
After (i think) 2 years of learner's license, you can get a restricted license. There's a 10pm curfew but you can drive by ur self and with other people who have a license.
Again, after two years (i think) you can get a full license.
However, if ur over a certain age (probably 20) you can go for a full license from the begining.
hope that helps :) |
