Stop the killing of new zealanders by foreign people.

Surely visitors staying less than 3 months should be vetted as well?

Why is NZ different to overseas when a Kiwi has an accident overseas they get locked up for a few years. But here in NZ we send the tourist home. It's just not fear

An absolute no-brainer cause, with more and more foreign drivers on our roads this should be mandatory.

Please accept my name to be added to your petition. Another example of poor control of visitors by the New Zealand judiciary system.

Arohanui to the Middleton whanau. The law needs to reflect the responsibilities of foreign drivers on NZ roads, we need to be protected

Some form of testing needs to be done to ensure all drivers meet certain standards. This also encludes more staffing for policing and administering any changes applied.

Definitely required seeing these poor drivers on the roads in Auckland, putting lives at risk.

I live in Palmerston North. Every year citizens watch overseas students learning to drive to whilst on an overseas licence allegedly purchased as one would purchase a text book. It is hazardous and at times terrifying and a NZ licence would stop this nonsense.

I totally agree with you and your reasons for this petition. No more innocent people should suffer at the hands of people who don't understand our road code and ultimately can't drive to save themselves let alone an innocent New Zealand Citizen that could lose their life because of their poor choices!

Should have been done long time ago but all the government worries about is the tourist dollars ( money before life ) it's called greed

Giving tourists the ability to drive on our roads in the way we would give them a gun and ammunition without a gun licence is simply insanity.

I agree. Too many local lives lost by ignorant and/or incompetent tourists.

All visitors who are inexperienced drivers should sit a NZ driving test on arrival.
