How long since you learnt
to drive - or perhaps even
looked at the Road Code?
How long will it be before
you drive like this?
On a scale of 1-10,
how good a driver
do you think you
are?
How do you know?
What makes you a good
driver?
• Are you better when you leave
more time and ring ahead if
you’re going to be late?
• How well do you anticipate
hazards / risks?

We now know how you feel
about your roadcraft ability
We also know what the stats
say
So, let's check ...

The Theory of it all
Driving Road Safety -
iam.org.nz
IAM is a charitable organisation dedicated to:
• promoting better driving and riding
• enhancing road safety by taking drivers and riders to a
level much higher than that required to pass the NZ
driving test
Would you pass the full
licence test today?
Are you as safe a

driver as you can
possibly be?
Do you check your driving
position before you set out:
• Seat
• Hands on the wheel
• Mirrors
What difference might it
make if you were driving
an autonomous vehicle?

A. Yes – it’s OK if you are doing the speed limit and not impeding
anyone
B. Yes – when the traffic in the other lanes is congested
C. Yes – if you are passing

Merging at an

And more help is at hand
If you have been referred for an on-road
safety test by your doctor, this site
explains the process for booking,
preparing for and taking the on-road
safety test, what the test covers and
what happens afterwards.

https://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/on-road-safety-test/
And here’s an offer
I observe iam RoadSmart Trainee Car Observers.
They need to observe the driving of six different
drivers (with me in the back seat).
If you would like to be one of those drivers, please let
me know.
Having had a quick refresher-
What challenges might autonomy
have?
Can it do it better than you?
Can we all do better now?
