This has to happen but also if some person is found guilty of killing a person while driving a vehicle they should be deported back their country and do the full sentence. People are getting off to lightly when they return to their country.

I have to have a NZ licence to drive our roads, tourists should have to sit at least SOMETHING!

I believe no tourist or visitor to New Zealand should be able to drive until some form of seminar re video and question and answers sheet is done so they have a firm understanding of New Zealand road rules. No pass, no licence to drive in New Zealand. Period.

I fully agree. Tourists arrive, suffer from lagjet and are not used to driving in the "wrong" side of the road. They shouldn't be given a car to start with!

Too many innocent people are being killed or maimed by foreign tourists, it has to stop.

How many more Kiwis have to die due to the tourist on our roads, all tourist no matter what nationality their back ground is, should take a compulsory road test, before they are allowed behind the wheel of any car.

Has to change! Why can Kiwis not drive in China but inexperienced Chinese drivers can drive here? Madness.
