NZ Road Test

Practise the restricted test on real Auckland streets.

A right-hand-drive simulator built around the Road Code, not racing. Follow an examiner's spoken instructions, then see exactly which rules you got right and wrong.

A mock test from kerb to report

  1. Pre-drive check

    "Before we start, please turn on your left indicator."

    Lights and indicators first, the same way a real test begins.

  2. Drive the route

    "At the roundabout, take the third exit, turning right."

    Routes are planned like Stage 1 of the test, with left and right turns, roundabouts, traffic lights and speed humps. Four practice areas: North Shore, North Harbour, Constellation Drive and Manukau.

  3. Do the manoeuvres

    "When it is safe, turn the vehicle around using a three-point turn."

    Pull over and three-point turn on the road, with a step-by-step guide. Parallel parking is on the practice-ground map.

  4. Return to the start

    "Please pull over on the left near the test centre, and stop."

    A critical error ends the test early, as it would with a real examiner.

  5. Read your report

    Every rule you got right or wrong, in English or Chinese. Replay any mistake from the driver's seat, from behind or from above.

The app checks the things examiners watch

More than 50 Road Code checks run while you drive. Coaching cards before each junction tell you what to check, how fast to go and which lane to use.

3 s
Indicate for at least 3 seconds before you turn.
2 s
Keep a 2-second gap to the car ahead in the dry.
4 s
Double it to 4 seconds in the wet. Wet roads also brake longer.
50+
Speed limits, school zones, give way and stop signs, traffic lights, mirror and head checks, crossings, bus stops and kerb strikes.

Two ways to practise

Mock test

Strict, like the real thing. The app plans a route near one of four Auckland test sites and the examiner speaks in English.

Free drive

Start from any suburb or street address and drive anywhere in Auckland. Mistakes are flagged and coached, and you keep going. Turn on Strict mode if you want a critical error to end the drive.

Real time, real weather, or your choice

By default the app follows New Zealand time and live Auckland weather, with the sun, moon and stars where they really are. Pick another time or weather in Settings to practise for rain or the dark.
