I live up North and have seen numerous tourists forget the rules and drive on the wrong side of the road.

I strongly suggest that foreigners sit a New Zealand Driver's License as there are far too many foreigners causing accidents that costing lives.

Full English Literature and Numeracy test before an extensive Driving Test. They should also apply for the test before they come here to save them waiting for days on their holiday!!

I am a courier in North Otago, I travel between Oamaru and Palmerston, I have been involved in a near miss with a tourist. I have also seen one with a sign on the back window, learner driver A4 size paper blocking the revision mirror. Educate them to driver on our roads. Or will it take a member of Parliament's family member to be killed before there is a law change.

All foreign drivers must sit the new Zealand driving test to be on our roads, end of story. This corrupt government is doing nothing about this nor is it doing anything about a myriad of other issues. Its time we take the power back from these corporate owned politicians!
