A driver's license open more than just your car door! For young people in Aotearoa, the ability to drive represents new opportunities to learn, work, socialise, and access the community.

This learner was stoked to get some help from Literacy Aotearoa when it came time to prepare for his learner license. Our driver education programme helps prospective drivers to understand the road rules and practice to take the the theory test, increasing their chances of success on the first try.
