It is Criminal regarding accidents by visitors. The Minister of Transport is useless as he has his head buried in the sand. Doesn,t want to rock the boat.

It is time the NZ government started to act to protect it's tax payers. At present there is no control for licenses to rent a vehicle. A simple law can be made to correct this. Pass a test before driving in NZ the same as new Zealanders have too.

A real, realistic and reasonable test is required

Alternatively, make all visitors sit a defensive driving test to receive a temp licence, in addition to them already having an overseas license. If no license then sit a NZ one just like everyone else

Also, if under 3 months, a written test should be passed to use a rental vehicle

We should probably make some New Zealanders re do their tests too, if they fail to follow the rules.
