Hey,

I have just converted my Indian License to NZ Car license. At the AA counter, they mentioned that I will be receiving an NZ restricted license, instead, I 've received a Learners. I called NZTA to clarify this thing but they mentioned I will be issued only Learners and I can convert to Full License whenever it is possible.
I don't have any friends who have a Car License (No supervisor). How am I suppose to drive on NZ roads?

Hi there,
This is correct, you are required to drive with a supervisor until you pass a practical driving test. Now that you have been sent your photo license- you need to make sure you are familiar with NZ road rules and book a practical test and once you have passed- the supervisor restriction can be lifted.
