What vehicles can I drive on my overseas driver's licence in New Zealand?

As the holder of a valid and current overseas driver's licence, you can drive motor vehicles that are allowed under your overseas licence. For example, if you have a full overseas car licence equivalent to a New Zealand class 1 licence, you can drive a car or light vehicle with a gross laden weight of not more than 6000kg. Different rules may apply if you have a learner, restricted, or provisional licence.
