This is a bill that needs to pass, we need to make sure that people who drive on our roads are obeying the laws and know the rules in terms of the road code. Accidents do happen, but most of these accidents can be prevented or minimized by sitting, and passing the NZ driver's licensing test and keeping informed on the road code.

This is an absolute necessity. 4 killed by tourist drivers in my immediate neighbourhood over past 18 months - totally unacceptable.

How many more lives need to be risked because of the ignorance of tourists unfamiliar with the laws & road rules of New Zealand?!

Vehicle accidents caused by foreigners who don't know NZ roads or rules. Let's prevent these un necessary accidents/deaths and have all foreigners no matter how long they are in NZ for have to have sat their restricted then full licence before they can drive legally and safely in NZ

Three months should be the max time you can drive on NZ roads without a NZ drivers licence, I was driven off a straight road by someone driving on the wrong side.

When I visited the USA we HAD to sit a test and get a temporary drivers licence. Anyone who drives on NZ roads from any other country, no matter how long or short their visit should have to sit a test and get a temporary licence before they are entitled to get behind a steering wheel. Also if you do the crime, and are convicted you must do the time, no if's or buts. We need harsher penalties in NZ. You smoke some weed in Bali and you could be put on death row, but if you kill someone in NZ you get sent home - that's rubbish and a crime against our people.
