RESTRICTED DRIVING TEST WESTGATE ROUTE 1 

Never be nervous whiel taking your Restricted driving test otherwise the testing officer will not pass you

@@vighneshnadan1300Yes, only for not signalling out of the round a bout, look out for Speed signs at Trig road, had to encounter x3 speed signs (30km zone, 50-60km zone)

Did you follow this guys route or nah?

@@imraro-7661 Different route with a diff testing officer

@@gtone339 thank you

Can you please give some tips

Yes, the speed limit in Westgate area is 50km/h on most streets with the exception of the motorway which is a 100km/h speed zone. However, since there are some construction and roadworks going on at Trig Road where the speed is 50km/h where it drops to 30km/h and later changes to 60km/h. The most important thing is to keep an eye on the speed limit when driving in unfamiliar areas.

they may ask you to do 3 point turn

@@malama29 Thanks!

Hi, I hope you passed your driving test. I know A1 DRIVING SCHOOL. Did you do it with Harald or Matthew? They are my mates even though we run our business separately. Thet are good instructors.

@@smdrivingschoolltd2377 Christo is my driving instructor

Would not recommend doing the test at Albany. They’ve got the worst testing instructors (make sure your test isn’t with Abhinav, he shouted and swore during the test). Go to Glenfield, the instructors are much better and the test route is easier, even for people who haven’t driven in Glenfield before. Albany needs to be shut down as their pass rate is extremely low and their testing officers are often rude and impatient

@@griffinkilfoyle1637 Okay, I heard they hired testing officers who aren't from NZ right? Anyway, I heard the testing officers in VTNZ Silverdale are more relaxed and patient with their applicants

@@griffinkilfoyle1637 Unfortunately I booked my test at VTNZ Albany branch via NTZA online

In the restricted driving test there are a range of driving tasks on the roads with speed limits up to 60km/h. The task will include left and right turns, including Give Way and Stop signs. Reverse parallel park or a 3-point turn in some cases. The assessable task in the full test are similar to those in the restricted test, but the full test is shorter and there's no reverse parallel park. You will be asked to make a commentary on hazard detection and response.

Adjust the side mirrors prior to test, best not to do it during the test

@@gtone339 k thanks

There are 2 stages, the 1st stage is the easiest, they may make you do a parallel parking, 2nd stage is the difficult part

@@gtone339do you ever go on the motorway on any Westgate routes?

@imraro-7661 Yes, you drive on to the motorway to Hobsonville till you get off at the Whenuapai exit ramp and make x2 roundabout exits back to the motorway and exit ramp to Trig rd

The testing officer would ask you to point out the front defogger and the rear demister, the shift lever, and the park brake or hand brake.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I'll be making one soon.

How many routes are there? Will you be posting them all? Great video

Needs more driving lessons

Yes, the driver did watch this recording again and had a discussion on areas where he needs to improve on. This time around he was ready not only technically but also mentally and emotionally.

you don’t have to be perfect to pass restricted but you do need to have basic skills to build on yourself
