When will the government listen to what's happening with the bloody tourist drivers?? How many more people need to die before their voices are heard,I experience it EVERY time I go ridingEVERY TIME,they generally have no idea how to drive,I'm so sick of nearly being hit and a f##king wave "so sorry",I'm disgusted that someone is signing their papers saying they can drive here with basically zero checks,enough is enough New Zealand it's time to stop this needless bulls##t.

See tourists every week driving on road just about causing accidents. Especially campervans. Something needs to be done.

Absolutely with out hesitation will I and others sign this petition. No family and person should have to go though what the Middletons and Rhys has gone through. Rest in paradise Rhys ❤

Very sorry for loss to all families of manslaughter accidents! A simple 15 min drive could do it.

I agree something needs to be done but when you put a requirement on any tourist in NZ then the same can be done to us when travelling. I don't want to have to sit a licence in a foreign country due to the time involved & the cost. I too would feel angry if justified sentence was shortened. Stop that first. You still have my deepest condolences.

A sad pathetic system we have in NZ. This may of been avoided if our stupid system (THOSE RUNNING IT) would only open it's eye's, stop talking, and fix the problem.

Too many people from overseas causing loss of life and serious injuries, and getting off with a slap on the wrist. Dreadful consequences for all the families involved, and the taxpayers left paying huge medical bills. Time something was done. Doreen Riley

She took more than a life. The penalty MUST fit the crime.

It happens WAY TOO OFTEN!!! In the killer tourists home country, if we "accidently" kill one of their citizens, will we be able to pay money, walk away, and come home???? I think NOT. To RHYS's family - I am so very sorry for your loss, for your pain, and that this happened to YOU. May your memories bring you comfort in time to come. Arohanui.
