The Government's removing the full license test as part of major changes - saying it will save time and money.

Drivers under 25 will spend a year on their restricted before moving to their full, while over 25s will get six months.

A zero alcohol limit will apply to people on their learners' or restricted, regardless of their age.

Most changes will come into effect next year.

Transport Minister Chris Bishop says the test hasn't been updated for over 15 years and a review was well overdue.
