whew!

After an hour of driving around Orewa and a few booboos, pasado si Henry sa second part ng driving test nya. His license will be mailed soon. Despite being one of the unfriendliest specie on earth, objective naman daw yung examiner.

Whew! Buti naman at maganda ang turn-out ng test nya. Sa Sunday na kasi mapapaso yung Philippine license nya. Kung semplang sa test, ang plan B ay pupunta sya Australia para pagpasok nya ng NZ another yr ang validity Philippine license. Magastos yon pero yun lang ata ang better option.

Kung bumagsak si Henry sa practical driving test, I think he'll still get a license pero conditional yon. Ang condition ay kailangang may kasama syang 'supervisor' (anyone who has a full license for at least 2yrs). Parang sinabi nilang wag na syang magmaneho.

My turn will come before the month ends. Ang pagre-review ng road code ang kakarerin ko sa bakasyon (Good friday to Easter Monday).

sister, san mo nakuha yung info tungkol sa plan B mo? meron kasi akong friend din na nagpunta ditong una. tas bumalik sya ulet mga after 2yrs. yung counting ng 12mos sa philippine driver's license ay mula ng unang vez na dumating sya sabi ng licensing centre. kaya agad-agad silang nagpractise at nagpa test dahil nga kakailanganin na nya ang lisensya.

pero buti na rin at pumasa si better half mo. congrats!

sister,

Nakalagay sa website ng LTNZ na....

"I do have a current overseas driver licence or international driving permit

....Each time you visit New Zealand, you can drive for a further 12-month period on a valid overseas licence or international driving permit, as long as you stay for no more than a year at a time."

So back to zero each time na tumungtong ka sa NZ. I hope tama ang interpretation ko.

Congrats sa hubby mo!!

AFAIK, di pwede yung Plan B kasi once na nagtake ka na ng exam di na pwede gamitin yung overseas license.

What happens if I pass the theory test?
When you have passed the theory test you will get a New Zealand driver licence and you can no longer use your overseas driver licence for driving in New Zealand, even if you have been here less than one year.

What happens if I fail the theory or practical test?

If you fail the theory test and have been in New Zealand for more than one year, you must not drive in New Zealand.

If you fail the practical test you must continue to be accompanied by a supervisor when you drive. You can apply to sit the test again.
