Thank you for commenting. We intend to do some more soon.

@@TypicalSwazys heyy sure whats your insta?

how long is the driving test not including the briefing / talking at the start and end

@@odie5732 It took around 45-50min, had two stages. First stage was around 15min long and rest of the time spent on second stage.

so helpful to know that it's still the same! Booked my restricted for September so I better get to know this route!

@@EmilyDench my instructor at aa lichfield st said lichfield is easier than rangiora 🤣

@@odie5732 Nah way! really lol!!! I've been practising in Rangiora though so I think that's a better option, if I fail it though I might go to Lichfield!

Seems a very pedantic way of saying the same thing? The new mnemonic for the "System of car control" is IPSGA "I" being information gathering and giving. So looking and signalling as necessary. Not forgetting "brake lights" are also a signal.The DTO manual refers to Mirror singular but means the same thing. The purpose of the video is to give an indication of a test route in a NZ town with a professionally commentary of the drive. In no way does it purport to be a driving lesson :) Thanks for your input.

In terms of the test No. But I always do as a safety measure, it also means I have my foot covering the accelerator ready to go when lights change. Saves the inevitable delay while you take foot from brake to accelerator. My argument is the hand brake makes the car safe if you are hit from behind while stationary. If this happens your foot would come off the brake as you shunted forward. So brake is safety.

No sorry must be in the road :) Thanks for question it is a common misconception.

Default to 50kph. Or ask the DTO he should be able to tell you. If you are driving in a built up area it will be 50 kph. If not then you will get repeater signs every so often.

As always drive to the conditions, so if school day open then drive with caution. If at start and end of school day then yes. Some zones are clearly marked with times and speed limits, some are not. Thanks for the question.

Thanks for viewing the video and kind comments. I am a retired testing officer. A former colleague does driving lessons in Rangiora area I can pass your details on if you wish? She has 100% pass rate.

@@BetterdrivingNZ What's her name? :) I might know her!

Hi. Anywhere within stage 1 or first 10 mins, parallel park is preferred task, only 3 point turn in exceptional circumstances. Ie no suitable place to carry out reverse. Thanks for question.

@BetterdrivingNZ yes i did thank you i was waiting and waiting and then asked me to do the parallel and i aced it then i aced the whole test 100% and now im shocked haha 😂

@@theunknownyoutuber6804 congratulations well done.
