Thank you for your video! I passed yesterday first go, I'd had my L's for 24yrs..almost the record I was told. The route was a fair bit different to begin with but second stage was pretty much the same!!
Hey there. Congratulations on passing.
24 years omg how !!
Very handy, my son is doing his restricted in a couple of months through Lichfield. I've taken notes and we'll try to do the same route a few times so he can get used to the area. He's had lessons from the AA as well, so probably more up to date on the rules than I am.
Some of the best casting ever. The twists and turns really had me firmly in the passenger seat!
And the sequels Northwood, Jipcho and Rangiora are just as much as a ride as the original. Check them out. Haha
Im sitting my test here in the morning. Did a test at sockburn last week which was classed as an 'incomplete' so I had a free resit opportunity. I think the test officer screwed up and had to do that or get a complaint etc. The whole thing was an awful experience honestly so I decided to try Lichfield instead of panicking about the testing officers at sockburn. I'm feeling really anxious after a bad experience. Plus I live out of the city so more rural back roads and open roads are my happy place, as opposed to inner city. Thanks for the video, it has helped me mentally prepare for what I might be doing.
Oh sorry to hear about your experience last test. Don't worry about it and just think forward to the next one. Go and have a drive around the streets and get a little bit used to the roads (not too used to them though) and hopefully you will be all good for the test. Good Luck.
@@yeahnahproductions I passed with no errors or concerns 😁
I drove the general area a few days ago and got comfortable then did the test without issue today. Im really glad I went into it feeling prepared. The testing officer was great too.
hi @chronicmanda is this the exact route when u sat for ur test?
@@ruffamae944 yes it was, probably with the odd exception but basically the route
Passed doing pretty much the exact route thank's for the upload. Ps failed my first attempt the instructor was super grumpy looking 🤭 2020.
Sometimes it happens you don't get it right and then boom you get it right. Now you have less pressure until your Full. Good luck.
I will hopefully have it this week for you.
Thank you for your video. bit different but still this is worth.
Yeah this was take awhile ago and roads made them change a few of the streets used but hopefully you did well.
I’ve been learning for a year or so and my test is next week and in a small but busy area with broken up roads. I’m so scared, driving is very overwhelming.
Hey there. Good luck with the test. You will be fine. Just keep practicing in and around the test course. If you haven't already then get a lesson/test practice with a driving instructor and they will be able to give you some small tips before the test otherwise keep practicing.
Sometimes they ask you to turn right to Fitzgerald Ave and turn left to Tuam St at the beginning directly.
Hey. That isn't the correct route but I am sure it happens. The reason why it isn't the correct way is that they wouldn't be asking you to do a lane change in the first stage of the test.
@@yeahnahproductions Yes you are right. But are you sure from Duke street to Tuam Street no need to turn to the nearest lane?
at 1:01 should you signal right then left? i can't figure that out
I passed my restricted doing this exact route, yay!! choice vid
Congratulations.
at 1:01 should you signal right then left? i can't figure that out
@@ashk9105 yeah, signal right then left
Does anyone know if this route is still the same? This is where I'll be doing my restricted test
Im doing my restricted on the 22nd do you have any tips for the parallel parking part, thats the part im most worried about
Hi there, good luck with your test.
The best advice I can give is to get at least one lesson with a driving instructor and they will be able to give the right advice for you and your driving skills. It will also help with the test.
I have my restricted test in 13 days been on my learners for 3 years. I was just wondering at 1:10 is the route still the same or is it different and turn onto Fitzgerald ave? I was a bit confused with the signalling as well if you were going straight would you still recommend indicating right then left? Thanks 😊
Hey there. The route is still the same but I have heard there is a lot of road works so they have been using the other route a bit more which also goes this way. But I have also heard that they will just go straight down to Fitzgearld Ave from Lichfield St and then turn right onto Fitz. As the arrow is a right turning one I would signal right and then as you move up to the centre of the road change it to a left signal.
Good Luck and practice as much as you can before the test.
@@yeahnahproductions sweet thank you!!
Just a question to double check.. do you check your mirrors first before u change lanes then indicate or u indicate first and then check your mirrors?
Also any tips for me because my test in is 13 days and I only had like 8-9 months of driving experience🥹
I always taught signal, centre mirror, side mirror (in the direction you are going) then blind spot check (in the direction you are going) (looking forward in-between each check) but others say mirror, mirror, signal and then blind spot check.
My way is that you signal first (must do for 3 seconds or more) and while you are signalling, you are checking the relevant mirrors and then the blind spot and if it is clear then you can move over and if it isn't then you move into the next safe gap.
If you check your mirrors and then you signal, you have to wait 3 seconds before you move, and then you have to recheck your mirrors to make sure it is clear before the blind spot and moving over. For me, this just makes the whole process longer and can cause too many mirror checks taking your eyes off the road more and hesitation to make the move.
Note, signalling doesn't me you have the right of way to move over. It is showing what you would like to do and let others know that when there is a gap, you would like to move over safely.
Tips:
practice driving as much as you can. Have a professional driving lesson now so you know where your level is for the test and what you may or may not need to do before the test. It will save you time, money, and a bit of embarrassment.
Good luck.
@@yeahnahproductions thank you so much, will for sure take ur advice❤❤
Do you know driving test route for VTNZ Lichfield Street( full test)? Thanks in advance
at 1:01 should you signal right then left? i can't figure that out
ruclips.net/video/p99vbqn8F1g/видео.html
Yes and no. If i was on my test I would but if I was just driving normally then I wouldn't as I think it is more of a straight through but listen to the instructions you are given by the Testing Officer. If the say straight at the traffic lights then don't signal but if the stay at the traffic lights turn right and then take the first left which is right there, then you need to signal right then left.
hi, is the test route still the same? Also just wondering what time you took this? Thanks :)
Hey there, I am not sure if this is 100% correct now as there has and continues to be road works around the area so they change the route week by week. Time of day, I can't remember exactly but I think it was around mid day which is a good time to go. Anytime from 10-2pm should be good.
Good Luck.
@@yeahnahproductions Awesome, thank you so much :)
I have my L's for nearly 12 years now so this will be my 2nd attempt to pass the restricted. What advice should you give me? The tester told me that I don't turn my head that often to look what's behind me, instead he failed me because I used the rear view mirror. Is that wrong? Do I need to turn my head all to the back to see if any cars behind me? I'm confused...
Hey there, I can’t really comment on your situation as I haven’t seen you drive but if you are turning left or right and/or crossing over someone else’s lane/ path then you need to Signal, mirror (centre), mirror ( side mirror to the direction you are going), and then blind spot check ( looking over your shoulder to the direction you are going to go).
If you get into this habit then not only will you make yourself and car safe but you’ll also make others on the road safe too.
Making it a habit before doing the test means when you get nervous or stressed it will still be natural for you to do it making the test easier for you.
I would recommend that you have at least one driving lesson with an instructor and they give you a lot of good pointers on what you might need to improve again this will help bring the nerves down for when you take the test.
Hope that helps. Good luck

is this route still the same?
I am not 100% sure sorry
I will let you know in 5 weeks I got mine there on the 17th of July @@yeahnahproductions
@@BobbyOttawaynzlis it?
Hi there. Thank you for this. I will most probably be driving this route for my test though I have 3 questions.
1: at 0:52 when wanting to turn right at the lights, are you meant to turn into the left hand land first and then cross over or are you able to go into the right turning lane straight away like you did in the vid?
2: at 13:05 are you able to turn right onto the area inbetween the islands to wait for a gap to merge with traffic coming behind you or should you wait for traffic both ways before turning?
3: at 23:41 there looks to be a temp speed limit of 50 but you then look to speed up shortly after, I was just curious if I had missed another speed sign or this was just because they had clearly forgotten to add the 100 limit back on?
Hey there. All good questions.
1. I would drive straight into the right hand turning lane as the left turning lane starts right in front of you.
2. Yes you are just as long as your vehicle fits within the dotted white lines. If it is too long then you might need to be on a bit more of an angle.
3. The sign you are looking for is the Open Road speed limit sign. White circle with a black diagonal line. It is just after the bridge. The limit is 100 for cars and motorbikes but various other vehicles like trucks and towing vehicles might have a different maximum speed limit and we must adjust our speed to match there's.
at 1:01 should you signal right then left? i can't figure that out
If you are on your test then I would.
@@yeahnahproductions thanks alot i got my test tommorow i was just so confused about that part cause whenever i drive past it everyone else just signals left. but tbh everyone dont really care about speed limit and indicating once passing they're test.
@@ashk9105 Yeah in regular driving I would just go straight and signal left too but it is a weird intersection so follow what the arrows say and signal accordingly. To be honest with you they might not even take you that way. Instead of turning right into the small side street of Lichfield street, they may get you to go straight to Fitzgerald Ave and turn right then change lanes to turn left into Tuam street.
Good luck with your test.
@@yeahnahproductions thanks alot yeah the road just shows right arrow so i guessed signaling right then left must be correct. true thanks for the information, i just hope i dont get suprised by a yellow light
@@yeahnahproductions could you please tell.the.rest of the route please.
HELLO YOU GOT ANY FULL DRIVING TEST ROUTE VIDEO AT LICHFIELD STREET?
Yes I have. Will upload one next week.
Is there a video you would like to see about driving or the test?
@@yeahnahproductions Hey, I didn't see the full driving test video for Lichfield St. Is there any chance you can upload it? Thank you so much.
@@yeahnahproductions where is this video uploaded
Della John hey. It is uploaded to RUclips.
@@yeahnahproductions Could you please provide the link
Is this still the same today?
I think it is but the testing officers take a slight different way because of being a bit lazy and road works.
Are the courses the same for every test
Each testing station will have at least 2 courses that they will use so it depends on a few things for which one you'll get.
is this the exact route for the restricted test?
I can't remember when this was taken so it may or may not have been slightly changed for the new bike lanes installed but should be pretty close to it.
@@yeahnahproductions thanks
Do you know driving test route for VTNZ Northwood ( full test)? Thanks in advance
Hey. Yes, I do. I will try and upload a video of them next week. Ok?
My test this week was different after the parallel parking section. From there, we went up Shirley/Mairehau way. I wonder if they've got a roster of routes depending on the traffic & the tester? This was great skills & confidence prep regardless, so thanks for putting it up.
You guys have far too many intersections without arrows >.>
Tell me about it. The city council doesn't care either.
Completely wrong and 2 critical errors in first minute. What a joke
By all means Deborah as an ex-testing officer at the Lichfield st VTNZ you would know the course like the back of your hand so please tell us what is wrong so we all know.
As for the two CEs a good driving instructor would’ve told us what they are before being rude.
On top of that you might want to read the description first before commenting.

Tell me about it and even the ones that do have arrows don’t help turning traffic turn safely.
I am thinking of mama video complaining about this since the rest of the country has them at every intersection. Where are you from???
@@yeahnahproductions Hamilton. Going for my restricted in a few minutes.
Ben Mitchell oh good luck.
@@yeahnahproductions I failed. I had to right turn onto a 60km/h Road that had a temp speed limit of 30km/h that no one was following. I needed to speed up to merge off the flush medium before gently slowing down to the temp speed limit (a rubbish truck going at 60 soon was tailgating me which is no fun) and that gave me an immediate fail. I have to wait another month before another test slot is available. Hopefully the roadworks are done. No one in Hamilton keeps at or below the speed limit and people often drive down the wrong side of the road or half on the foot path to get around a nearby corner if there is an inkling of traffic. I think overconfident aggressive drivers are detrimental to learners.
Sorry to hear about that. Next time I am sure you'll do better. Now you know a bit of the course and what the test is like you can have a bit more of practice and get things right. Practice that temp speed again and don't let the pressure of other road users get to you. If so then just pull over and let them by.
No one cares about learner drivers or any other drivers on the roads these days so just follow the roads and do your best knowing you are driving safely.
