CLASS 2 LICENSE

Before you do an approved course for your Class 2 license with Drive-Rite (Manawatu), you must have already obtained a Class 2 Learner License from the appropriate agency. To obtain the Class 2 Learners License YOU MUST:

have held a full class 1 (car) license for at least 6 months
supply a medical certificate from your doctor
pass the theory test comprising of 25 questions from the road code and 10 specialist Truck questions

IF you need help to obtain your Class 2 Learners License contact Drive-Rite (Manawatu).

Once you have completed the Class 2 approved course, comprising of two unit standards and a training/assessment in a Class 2 Truck, and are deemed competent, you will be issued a certificate; which you then take to your licencing agency, in order to have Class 2 added to your current license.

Drive-Rite will provide the truck, (unless you wish to supply your own vehicle, which is required to be loaded to at least half its payload), for the on-road assessment drive.

STREET TALK

STREET TALK is the NZ Transport Agency approved Defensive Driving course. Successfully completing this course not only makes you a safer, more considerate driver - it also reduces your restricted license period by 6 months, enabling you as a new driver to gain your full license significantly earlier. Drive Rite instructors have offered Defensive Driving courses since 1992.
