Hi I just wanted to comment and say thank you. I watched these videos in the lead up to my test and found them so helpful. I sat my restricted today for the first time at Westgate and passed no critical errors!
Hi Lisa, thank you for the feedback and a massive congratulations on passing your test! 🥳
This is the instructor people need 👍👍
Thank you for the feedback! :)
Definitely helped alot when trying to get your restricted. Passed on my first go thanks to your videos!
Congratulations on passing your restricted, first time! :)
I passed my test today.. The videos were a great guide during the process.. Thanks much. Appreciate the effort 🙏
Great job!
i passed my restricted last year & full this year, cheers for the content mate
Awesome, congratulations!
Thanks so much today I passed my restricted and I watched all ur videos.
Your teachings was a big help.
Wish you all the best bro
That’s awesome, many congratulations!
I JUST PASSED MY RESTRICTED TEST TODAY IN TAKANINI!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REALLY HELPFUL VIDEOS!! 💙
Awesome, congratulations 🎊
Just passed my restricted first try in Glen Innes! Although none of your mock test videos were around the same area, I found these to be greatly beneficial - so thank you so much!!!
@taylapearce6424 what did you do when coming up to a sign and the speed limit is 50 the. Right after that there was another sign and it was 30 temporary
And I'm also doing mine in Glen Innes hopefully I pass
@@Forza_Maldini33 I think just smoothly slow down from 50km to 30km between the change - I did mine before all the roads changed to 30km but as long as you match the signage showing you have good control of the vehicle you should be fine! I found myself speaking out loud a bit, so whatever works for you - do it! Good luck :)
@@Forza_Maldini33 GI tends to be a good place to do your test, many of my friends passed there 1st try!
I've had my learners for up to 5 or 6 years now, and I finally have my restricted test tomorrow. (Carried my L's for such a long time because I lived in australia where they require you to record 100 hours of driving, and personal circumstances made it difficult for me) I've moved in South Auckland in September '22 and have practiced almost every day since. Got my restricted test due tomorrow, and still got a bit of nerves. These mock test videos are very helpful and informative. I'm sure things will go smoothly, cheers 👍
Good luck with your test!
How did you get on with your test?
@@SocialDrivingAcademy I passed first go! My feedback from my driver testing officer was good, although I completely forgot to move into the flush median in a T-Section soon as I had a safe gap. Usually in Australia we don't travel across flush medians so I needed to make a slight adjustment. Otherwise, I drove pretty confident knowing I practiced a lot and watched these videos. I'll book a mock test for my fulls when the time comes, cheers mate!
Hi is its every 5-10 seconds you are meant to check your mirrors? Or what is the rule for that. I usually check mine every 10ish seconds.
One time I was practicing parallel parking behind a parked car and the owner of the car rushed out of her house and moved her car inside her garage 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That happens to me all the time :D
Hi, I have a question. At 20:43 where Melody is turning right, in this case do I do what she does and waits behind the white car as it is turning in a driveway or should I go in front of the car?
Hi Judy, great question. If on your approach, it is obvious that the car is turning and not waiting in a queue then it makes sense to only change lanes in to the turn bay after it as opposed to waiting behind it.
How important is hand positioning during the restricted test? I see the suggested method is the push/pull technique but is it compulsary to do / would I get failed for not doing it?
Hi, hand positioning is really important from a vehicle control point of view. The push pull technique to steer is one of two acceptable steering techniques, with the other one being the hand over hand. Both are acceptable and it is vehicle control and positioning that is ultimately being assessed during the tests.
Hi there! I am wanting to do my restricted license in about a month in Mt Wellington. Your videos are really helpful :)
Do you know what the pass rate is for Mt Wellington or have any suggestions for other good VTNZ places for my test?
Hi, I don’t have that level of detail but I would say I’ve had good feedback of Sylvia Park. I’d suggest a mock driving test with an instructor so you know how ready you are for the test
Hey, in regards to what you were mentioning at 57:00, let’s say I’m travelling at 45km/hr at a 50km zone and I slow down to 40km because I notice children on the side, would I get a critical?
Hey, driving safely is about driving to the conditions. You shouldn’t get a critical error for just slowing down because you see some children on the side who could potentially be hazards.
hi, are you familiar with the route of the test? I'm thinking of have a test at Takanini or Mt Wellington. Will the mock test be going on the test route? Thanks.
Hi Vincent, our focus is on safe driving so we won't comment on routes.
Hi there for the three point turn, I saw that she indicated right which is what I would do, but do you have to do any signalling for reversing back and then moving forward or no?
Hi Malia, there is no requirement to indicate when reversing
Just a question, at 51mins you talk about if a lane splits the driver needs to move to the left lane by default. What is then the purpose of the middle lane (where she ends up) if all cars are by default meant to move to the left.
Where the lane splits into two, the right lane then can be used for overtaking, passing and turning right :)
hey just touching up on one of your points from another video, if i’m waiting to turn and i go because somebody gave me the wave or blinked their high beams at me, would i immediately fail? even if i did everything else right and i made that little mistake at the end? also what should i do instead
Hey, thank you for the question. Short answer is that would be a fail against the failing to give way immediate fail error. You would need to hold your position and apply the give way rules
hi do you know if you get a new id photo when you pass the restricted test
Hi Daniel, yes you would do
Hey could you please explain what Major and Minor roads are?
Hi, you could think of the major road being a main road and a minor road being a side road. Hope that helps :)
kia ora, im going for my restricted on friday and i was just wondering when it comes to doing the reverse parallel park, can you fail by not being able to do one or not being good at them lol? if you give it a try and its kinda wonky or i guess "not up to standard" can u fail from that? im confident in EVERYTHING except parallel parking hahah so just wondering. cheers :)
Hi Veefaq, short answer is the parallel park is an easy maneuver. Book in for a mock driving/coaching appointment and ace how to do that :)
@@SocialDrivingAcademy thanku! i passed my restricted it was good! i didnt have any test drives or anything cause i didnt wanna pay more #cheapsake lol but yeah it was good :)
Would it be having similar routes for the full license test?
Thanks for your question. Our focus is on teaching safe driving so can't comment on routes.
@@SocialDrivingAcademy Gud to know! Since the latest fee policy, I found it hard to find available dates for test around Auckland, no spots in March even! Might have to call VTNZ/NZTA or pay them a visit lol.
Did she end up passing ?
She did indeed
