When passing parked vehicle remember to indicate out and then back into your lane.

Narrow roads on side streets will require you to move to the right side of the road when passing parked vehicles.

You must always (if safe): Indicate to the right as you pass the vehicle and indicate to the left to move back to your side of the road.

• Indicated 
  
• Mirror
  
• Shoulder Check
  
• Move
  

Be careful when passing parked cars stay about the width of the door away (1.5m) enough room to react if someone opens there door.

On narrow roads reduce your speed you must have enough time to stop if required.

Drive defensively when passing parked cars.

Also keep an eye out for pedestrians and cyclists.

You are required to Turn Right into several unmarked roads. Don't cut the corners on your right turns, presume there is a vehicle approaching from the other side.

If the road is unmarked and narrow keep reasonable left and be prepared for a vehicle to approach from the opposite side.

As you turn left into East Coast Road, take note of the SCHOOL ZONE SIGN on the left.

As you turn left into Glenvar Road, take note of the STOP SIGN on the left.

You will need to FULLY STOP before moving

U-Turn and Left Turn at STOP Sign:

You are required to turn left at a STOP Sign on the corner of East Coast Road and Haigh Access Road.

Make sure you fully stop at the stop sign. 

Make sure you stop where you can see at least 100 meters on both sides. The speed limit is 80km/h most vehicles will be travelling much faster. Don't be afraid to move closer to the yellow line if you can't see. 

Keep Left Unless Passing:

You are required to move into the right lane, when safe and then move back into the left lane.

The road is uphill you will need to keep your speed up and beware of vehicles coming for behind you.

The maximum speed limit is 80km.

The signs below warn you that you are coming up to a tight curve or bend in the road. The number recommends a safe and comfortable speed to drive at around the curve – in this example the recommended speed is 35km/h. The arrows show which direction the curve goes.

Note: the recommended speed is for a light vehicle and may be too fast for a heavy vehicle, particularly when laden. Drive carefully and adjust your speed if necessary. If you are carrying a load, reduce your speed on a curve to at least 10km/h below the posted speed shown.

Critical errors include: 

• Too slow 
  
• Mounting a kerb 
  
• Too fast 
  
• Stalling the vehicle 
  
• Failing to look 
  
• Incomplete stop at a Stop sign 
  
• Failing to signal 
  
• Other illegal action 
  
• Blocking a pedestrian crossing 
  

Immediate failure errors include: 

• Testing Officer intervention 
  
• Excessive speed 
  
• Failing to carry out an instruction 
  
• Stopping at dangerous position 
  
• Collision

How to use a Flush Median

It’s alright to drive on a flush median for a short distance if you’re turning into or out of a side road or driveway. You can use them to slow down before making a right-hand turn, or to merge left into a gap in the traffic flow.

If you’re using the flush median to make a right-hand turn you should indicate, then steer gently onto the median rather than at an abrupt angle. Use the median as an area to slow down and brake. This way the following traffic doesn’t have to slow down rapidly to avoid you.

Carry out a similar manoeuvre if you’re using the flush median as a refuge before merging into traffic on your left. Remember to indicate and check your mirrors, accelerate, and move gently into a gap in the traffic.

When you’re using a flush median, always remember to watch out for pedestrians, other vehicles using the median and any raised islands.

When doing your restricted test in a rural area like Westgate or Pukekohe, for the high speed zone parts you are required to change lanes. 

When you see a sign saying "Passing Lanes Ahead, Keep Left Unless Passing"

The testing officer will tell you to, "please move into the right lane".

Just like before when ever you see you 2 lanes be prepared to change lanes.

Once you move into the right lane they you ask you to move over into the left lane.

Beware of vehicle that might try to overtake you on the left.

When turning right from a one-way street, you should stay in the same lane throughout the turn. That means:

• if you're turning from the left-hand lane of the one-way street, turn into the left-hand lane of the two-way street
• if you're turning from the right-hand lane of the one-way street, turn into the lane immediately to the left of the centre line of the two-way street.

When two vehicles are turning into the same road at an intersection that has more than one marked in lane in both directions:

• both vehicles must show they want to turn by signalling for at least three seconds
• both vehicles stay in their own lane throughout the turn, that is:
  • car A turns from the left-hand lane into the left-hand lane
  • car B turns from the right-hand lane into the right-hand lane.

ROAD WORKS.....

If you see a 30km Temporary Sign while doing your driving test, YOU MUST SLOW DOWN TO 30km.

You must stay at 30km till you pass another speed sign or a Works End Sign.

If you are turning left or right after a 30km sign you must still stay at 30km till you pass another speed sign or a Works End Sign.

If you move to a point where you can see.. you will keep going.. because you know it safe.. because if you wait you will be blocking the road..  and fail you test

STOP at the YELLOW LINES.. look around.. I can't see.. move forward.. 

Did you stop at the stop sign.. yes.. I looked and couldn't see.. I moved forward to where I could see.. as I moved forward after stopping it was safe to go.. I moved forward.. it was unsafe.. I stopped and waited.

STOP MEANS STOP !!!!

When you are doing your full driving test, you are driving in a circle you will end up at the same location (Do Not Rush). The full tests are 30 minutes long, take your time.

There will be stop signs and give way signs.

If you DON'T STOP and check both sides before moving off you will fail your driving test.

STOP look right, look left.. I cant see the road.. roll forward.. is it safe.. can you see.. is it safe.. can you go.. yes.. go.. no wait..
