Subject: Official Information request - Asleep or drunk supervisor while
driving on licenses other than full

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

The webpage
[8]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
states:

 

“A supervisor is legally in charge of the vehicle. They must be alert and
able to help you or take over driving if they need to. So they can’t be
asleep or drunk if they’re supervising.“

 

Land Transport (Driver Licensing) Rule 1999, s18(2)(b) does state that the
supervisor is in charge of the vehicle; however, I can find no reference
to supervisors being asleep or drunk.

 

Please provide the source of the relevant legislation, or legal advice,
which prohibits the supervisor being either asleep or drunk.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Cody C
