Question 1

What is the correct action when your vehicle breaks down on a NZ motorway?

Accepted Answer

Move the vehicle as far left as possible, turn on hazard lights, and stay behind the barrier if possible

Answer

If your vehicle breaks down on a motorway, you should move as far left as possible onto the shoulder, activate your hazard lights, and if safe, exit the vehicle and stand behind the barrier or crash barrier away from traffic.

Question 2

In NZ, when is it legal to overtake on the left?

Accepted Answer

When the vehicle in front is turning right and you can safely pass on the left

Answer

In New Zealand, overtaking on the left is normally not permitted. However, you may pass on the left when the vehicle in front has signalled and is clearly turning right, and there is enough space to do so safely.

Question 3

How far from an intersection must you signal before turning in NZ?

Accepted Answer

At least 3 seconds before you intend to turn

Answer

The NZ Road Code requires you to signal for at least 3 seconds before you intend to turn at an intersection. This gives other road users adequate time to react to your intended movement.

Question 4

What must a NZ driver do when approaching a school bus that has stopped and has its hazard lights flashing?

Accepted Answer

Slow down and be prepared to stop — children may be crossing

Answer

When a school bus has stopped with its hazard lights flashing, children may be crossing the road. You must slow down significantly and be prepared to stop. Rushing past is extremely dangerous and is an offence.

Question 5

Under NZ Road Code, at what age must all passengers in a vehicle wear a seatbelt or approved child restraint?

Accepted Answer

All passengers of all ages must be restrained

Answer

In New Zealand, all vehicle occupants — regardless of age — must wear a seatbelt or be secured in an approved child restraint. The driver is responsible for ensuring all passengers under 15 are properly restrained.
