The New Zealand Government has announced significant changes to its driver licence testing regime, eliminating the practical test for attaining a full licence, effective January 25, 2027. Key updates include a longer 12-month learner licence period for drivers under 25, an option to reduce this period, and a reduction in total costs by $80. Additionally, all learner and restricted drivers will face a zero-alcohol limit, and the NZ Transport Agency will enhance oversight of driver training providers.
