Question 1

In NZ, when turning left at an intersection, who must you give way to?

Accepted Answer

Pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into

Answer

When turning left at an intersection in NZ, you must give way to pedestrians who are crossing the road you are turning into, or who are waiting to cross. This applies even if you have a green light.

Question 2

At a roundabout in New Zealand, which direction must you travel?

Accepted Answer

Clockwise — give way to vehicles already on the roundabout coming from your right

Answer

In NZ (driving on the left), roundabouts are navigated clockwise. You must give way to all vehicles already on the roundabout, which approach from your right. Always indicate left when leaving the roundabout.

Question 3

In NZ, when two vehicles are turning right into the same road from opposite directions, who gives way?

Accepted Answer

They should pass behind each other (right side to right side) unless road markings indicate otherwise

Answer

In NZ, when two vehicles approaching from opposite directions are both turning right, they should generally pass behind each other (right side to right side). However, road markings or intersection layout may direct otherwise.

When the bus is signalling to pull out and the speed limit is 70 km/h or less
