Make them show knowledge of the road code

I would say less than three months also needs a instruction course as a minimum also.

They should changed the rules for people who are from different parts of the country should have a full new Zealand driving licence before they drive our roads

This sort of rule (or tighter) applies in many US states and has done so for Illinois since I had to do it in 1968. Not a new idea.

I live on and travel State Highway 6 south of Queenstown, there is not a day that goes by that I don't see some absolutely manic driving! *555 is probably sick of hearing from me, but what else can you do! We Kiwi's have to sit our drivers licence to be allow to use the our roads, all overseas visitors should have to do the same whether they are here for a week or a year.

There are some absolutely terrible examples of foreign drivers all over Facebook, unfortunately they're probably only on holiday But I totally agree with this law change

This must happen! I travel 60000km a year the length of NZ and I have seen many incidents in the last 9.5 years!

I totally agree with this Petition. This lady killed a loving father. Dino was the nicest person you could ever met, would do anything for anyone. My cousin didn't deserve to be killed. We are the ones that are suffering because of her reckless driving. She didn't just kill one person that day. They shouldn't let them drive at all until they sat a nz licence. How many more will they kill before the three months. ????????????.

That the House pass legislation requiring any visitor to New Zealand who is issued with a visa for a period longer than 3 months, and who wishes to drive a vehicle while in the country, be required to sit a full New Zealand driver’s licence test and be issued with a New Zealand Driver’s Licence.
