Drury is one of the few places this close to Auckland where a learner can get real open-road practice. Roads here run at 80 and 100, and the area is changing fast as new subdivisions go in, which means construction traffic and temporary speed limits are part of most lessons.
What learners find hardest in Drury
Judging speed on roads without a centre line. Drivers who learned entirely in town tend to carry too much speed into rural bends, and that is exactly what the full licence test is watching for.
