A supervisor is a person who:

  • holds a current full New Zealand driver licence for the class you're learning to drive, and
  • doesn't have a supervisor condition on their New Zealand licence, and
  • has held a full New Zealand licence for at least 2 years OR has held an equivalent overseas driver licence for at least 2 years.

Learner drivers must always have a supervisor, but restricted drivers can drive alone 

Learner drivers must always have a supervisor with them when they are driving. 

Restricted drivers can drive alone most of the time, but there are exceptions.
