A practical lesson is the hands-on side of learning to drive.
To take you for your lesson you will have an experienced, patient
Driving Instructor who holds the appropriate LTNZ Instructor’s licence.
You get a full hour of tuition for each lesson.
You get a personalised lesson plan for your individual requirements to enable you to become a safe and competent driver.
Bookings are made with your Instructor who will pick you up at the
address that suits you best. You can be dropped off at a different
location if you wish.
You will not just be taught how to pass the “Driving Test” but be taught all aspects of driving so you are a safe and competent driver who will be able to pass any test.
My goal is to ensure you become a safe, competent and confident driver – not just a licensed driver.
Pass rates that are published vary from 51% to 57% for a restricted test in 2018.
The NZ Transport Agency does not seem to have the variable of 1st time verses many times sitting just a pass rate which includes all no matter how many times they have sat the test.
In general more people are sitting the test and the failure rate has risen.
My personal pass rate is 90+% for first time restricted test.
