Re: help with an enquiry driving permit in nz

You have to remember that the roads are no where near as congested as they are in the uk.
That said its a good job they arent as the standard of kiwi driving is shocking.
Its a bit scarey when you see the kids on their way home from school,
loads of cars being driven by kids with school uniforms on.
