Too many accidents occur on NZ roads due to foreign drivers being the primary cause. I support the introduction of foreign drivers having to sit a NZ drivers Licence test.

About time, Even if its a basic test . but we need to focus on all overseas vistors , even those who want to come here and live.

I have seen so many near accidents and ridiculous driving around the tourist area I live in. 99% are rental cars. I can't understand why the government continue to put lives at risk by allowing people to drive in conditions that are beyond their experience. So what if the tourism industry suffers, at least less lives will be taken! Our roads are different to other countries. A sticker on the dash reminding people to keep left isn't enough.

Definitely need to sort this issue, we have many foreign guests and a lot of them should not be driving in New Zealand! !

MOST DEFINITELY make foreigners sit a NZ driving test before allowing them to drive our roads. They're a hazard to us all!!!
