1. Introduction
I examined about traffic of New Zealand. When I was talked with exchange students, I found the different of traffic between in Japan and in other countries. I have been interested in traffic of New Zealand since then. I especially examined how to get a driver’s license in New Zealand.
2. In Kumamoto
At first people who are older than 18 years old must go to the driving school to get a driver’s license. People must take a lot of lessons and they also must take classes of actual technique at on the grounds and on the street. People acquire a temporary driver's license, and to be able to acquire a driver's license formally after having passed examinations. In this way it is generally two phases in Japan.
3. In NZ
On the other hand, more than 15 years old people can get a driver’s license in New Zealand. But there are three phases not two phases, called Learner License, Restricted License and Full License in New Zealand. People can acquire Learner License by passing a written examination and an eye test. However, a director maintaining Full License more than two years must ride with the seat next to the driver when it runs. When people acquire Learner License, and six months pass, they can apply for Restricted License. As for the people, its acquisition is enabled by passing an eye test and a practical examination, but the examinee must prepare an appointed car by oneself. And when the people who acquired this Restricted License runs in time from 22:00 to 5:00 a.m., that a director takes the seat next to the driver is decided, and people who have Restricted License must not to pick up the person except the companion child of a spouse and a child and the spouse when a director is not. And finally, if there are people who older than 25 years old in the holder of Restricted License, musts have passed six months. If people younger than 24 years old, they must have passed eighteen months. After that, people can apply Full License. The examination contents are an eye test and practical examinations. And you must prepare a designated car by oneself then. By the way, it is ten years on expiration date of Full License. Associate it in this, as for the international driving permit, they can drive a vehicle mentioned in a driver's license for longest one year in New Zealand if they maintain the international driving permit which people acquired in Japan.
The New Zealand traffic rules are keeping to the left as well as Japan. However, it is usually Japan to be different from Japan and the car which makes a left turn than the car turning right is given priority, but must always give priority to an approach or cars turning right from the right side in New Zealand. And people must always put on helmets when they drive a motorcycle and a bicycle.
4. Conclusion
I examine a thing about the New Zealand traffic this time, and there are many points unlike Japan than I expected it and they were surprised me. I want to observe a, besides, Japanese mark and a New Zealand mark with care what kind of point the driver runs it carefully at if I go to the New Zealand, and there is an opportunity in a car.
