Foreign drivers to sit New Zealand Drivers Licence test

This would hAve been a tragedy that could have been avoided if the overseas drivers skill's had been assessed before driving only our roads.

Its about time. Our very safety on the road is at stake. Saying sorry doesn't bring me back to life.

Too many deaths being caused by foreign drivers. This is a small step in the right direction. :)

All the best for this, it is time we did something

To many foreign drivers cause accidents

Definitely agree especially the westcoast of the sth island shocking down there. Canterbury..

Should be after 1 month

Totally tautoko 100%

Anyone on the roads in NZ should sit the same test. No more kiwi lives to tourist dollar

Foreign drivers are a deadly hazard and the government does nothing!

Let's save some lives....

This is just common sense, we do not accept many foreign qualifications as equivalent, why should we accept foreign driving tests are up to scratch?

Why wait for a politicians son or daughter to die to improve our roads safety.

One law for all.

Absolutely agree! Im a lifelong motorcyclist, motorcycle engineer by trade, former motorcycle dealer, and Ive lost too many friends and colleagues to murder by vehicle.

All foreign drivers should have to pass the written and oral to prove they understand our road rules

Test them all, Greater responsibly lies also with Rental companies.

As rural areas are impacted by new intense development there needs to be protection for people using the roads. City folk seem to lack an understanding and tolerance of the rural community!

I support this, but would argue that all visitors, including short-stay tourists, should have to pass a test on a driving emulator.

ive lost way to many people close to me due to foriegners driving on our roads they should not be allowed full stop
