So I know someone who's son is on his, he drove his girlfriend to another town today and when I pointed out to pretty clever parents in other things says. no it's all good she has a restricted license as well. I said thats not what the law says. they could not seem to understand they are not correct.

There is an exemption which may apply to a person's partner:
"You cannot normally carry passengers, unless you have a supervisor with you. The only passengers you can carry without a supervisor are:
Pretty sure it's only allowed if his girlfriend is his de facto partner.

If they live alone as a couple then they can drive each other, if they live with family then they can't drive each other.

This hadn't occurred to me until recently when my son got his learner's and I had him added to our insurance as a named driver. Not only does the driver risk a fine, they are unlikely to be covered by insurance if they are not driving within their licence conditions.

As per NZTA: You cannot normally carry passengers, unless you have a supervisor with you. The only passengers you can carry without a supervisor are: * your spouse, or the person you live with as if you were married or with whom you are joined in a civil union * children who live with you and are under the care of you or your spouse (that is, you or your spouse are their parent or guardian * your parent or guardian * relatives who live with you and who are on a social security benefit * someone you look after as their primary caregiver.
Also to be a supervisor they must: ???hold a current and valid full New Zealand licence (which does not have a supervisor condition) for the same class of vehicle you??

Well this line here opens it up to pretty much anyone on the doll, the way I read it:
* relatives who live with you and who are on a social security benefit
