In New Zealand, programs for senior drivers focus on awareness and skill-sharing, rather than formal "learner programs."
The Muray Driving School offers in-car coaching from aged 74+, while Age Concern NZ runs the Safe with Age courses for drivers over 55, providing road rules refreshers and safety awareness. Drivers over 75 are also subject to more frequent licence renewals and medical checks, which can be supported by these programs.
