In New Zealand, if you wish to drive a car, you need a Class 1 driver's license. A Class 1 license permits the holder to drive light vehicles, including passenger cars and some light trucks, with a maximum gross weight not exceeding 6,000 kilograms. Additionally, drivers with a Class 1 license are allowed to tow a trailer, provided that the combined weight of the trailer and towing vehicle does not exceed 6,000 kilograms. The process to obtain a Class 1 license includes passing a theory test and a practical driving test.
