Foreign drivers to sit New Zealand Drivers Licence test

Sending you support to bring about much needed change

Everyone driving on NZ road needs to past the test before they are allowed to drive.

foreign driver are shocking and when they have a photo scene in front of them they stop in the middle of the road and slaso stop in the middle of a round about they need to learn our rules of the road

Ensure that international licenses are comparable before allowing people to drive. Chinese licences are all theory no practical! So they're learning to drive on our roads which is terrifying.

My mother was killed in a car accident caused by a German tourist in February 2015. I fully support this cause.

Good luck

I think it is very important for foreign nationals to be confident drivers and to know all the rules whilst driving on our NZ roads. There have been far too many accidents due to careless and not very responsible drivers.

I think it's necessity to be safe in road myself.

There has been far too many deaths

Fully support this we need to keep our roads safe and ensure all who drive it fully understand and meet nz standards

Everyone who wants to drive in NZ should do a test no matter how long they are here. Our windy roads, hills and narrow streets, particularly in the South Island, can be challenging. We have a process for our kids, why should it be easier for anyone else?

What a tragedy, if we can prevent innocent people getting killed, then we have to do all we can.

Make our roads safer

I believe they should have to take a full drivers test. How can we possibly trust them on our roads, if they are here for that long, without being able to follow the rules in place. From a 16 year olds perspective, I have believed that this is a must, after all the deaths caused by tourist drivers!

All tourists should be road tested, it's our locals, our children, our parents, our whanau, that are at risk. Whether it be open roads or around town. Their lives need protecting. They need to know that they are protected.

We need this for all the family's that have lost a loved one due to the I'll forgotten tourist that are not used to our road

They need to pass some sort of test. So often they get of a long flight hire a car and away they go. They need to understand our laws first.

Make the lives lost count!!!!! They are not just numbers/statistics they are someone's loved one, and they deserve more

I witness foreign drivers driving dangerously ALL the time! I find it shocking and a hazard to everyone on the road!!

I think this is a great idea Followed an asain driver to chch last week and its a wonder nobody was killed
