Since the P endorsement training was abandoned, new drivers of small passenger service vehicles, such as taxis, have had to struggle through the complex logbook and work-time rules, constantly running the risk of making an error and getting a fine, demerit points and a driving licence suspension. Even experienced taxi drivers can find the myriad of rules challenging.
This logbook course, designed for drivers of small passenger vehicles, teaches a driver everything they need to know about filling out a logbook and complying with NZTA's work-time regulations, including:
Multiple logbook page examples are given in both the module videos and in the questions accompanying the modules. They encompass every situation a driver is likely to face.
The fatigue module shows a driver how to recognise fatigue, what fatigue does to their driving and how to manage and eliminate fatigue.
This course is delivered via videos followed by questions. The videos consist of live action, animation, images and voiceover. It's engaging and takes less than an hour to complete. A driver can revisit any module in the course for up to six months and, once complete, they can print a certificate to prove they have completed all the modules.
NZ Taxi Federation members can purchase at a preferential price by contacting the NZ Taxi Federation.

Once completed, a certificate of achievement can be printed.
