This video covers everything you'll need to know to pass the reverse parallel parking section of the New Zealand restricted licence test. Remember you must do the manoeuvre in under 2 minutes and no more than four movements. We've shown it with no car behind because that is how it's done in the restricted licence test, but the same principles apply if there is a car behind as well. Drive.govt.nz is an innovative website and learning tool created by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and ACC to help you become a capable and confident driver. These videos were created by driving experts and driving instructors to show you everything you need to learn to become a safe and skilled driver.
