About Driving in New Zealand
Owing to its sparse population, New Zealand is a very car dependent country, with 92% of New Zealand households owning at least one car. While public transport is usable in the cities ofAuckland,WellingtonandChristchurch, and there is a network of long distance coach services and backpacker buses, a car is often preferred to get around anywhere else. Waka Kotahi/NZ Transport Agency (NZTA)is the government agency responsible for road transport and driving in New Zealand, such as motor vehicle registration, driver licensing, road rules, etc. Some older publications may refer its predecessors, the Land Transport Safety Authority (LTSA) or Land Transport New Zealand (LTNZ). TheNew Zealand Automobile Association (AA)is the main motoring group in New Zealand. Travellers on an extended road trip
