The NZ Govt. is raising the driving age to 16.
As a 14 year old 1 month from my 15th birthday i find this extremely annoying as my parents are constantly sick of driving me to and from school, sports matches and friends houses. The Govt. needs to lower the driving age back to 15 and take a deeper look into this matter it is the people who have been driving for years that are causing accidents not the "newbies" to the road the govt. should put in place a test that every driver has to take a test every 2-5 years to ensure they know the road code and drive responsibily.
In addition perhaps they should limit the power of cars the under 20 year olds can have perhaps limit it to 2500CC or 2000CC??? We need this law changed back an incompetent and blind eyed governement has changed this law for no valid reason whatsoever. It's time to stand up and let the big-wigs at the top that our parents if not you voted into pariliament hear what we think and why!!
This law for raising the driving age to 16 will be in place by the end of 2010.

Agree with the 2000cc limit idea. Just make the test harder instead of making us wait forever.
My parents work late all the time so I end up having to walk or bike in the rain. Being able to drive at 15 would be a massive help for our family.
Just let us drive. If someone is responsible enough at 15 they should be allowed on the road. The government is just punishing us for no reason.
Living rural means I cant get anywhere without my mum driving me everywhere. It is a massive pain for everyone involved.
seriously unfair. my friends can all drive and now i have to catch the bus like a little kid for another year.
Lower the driving age as I would better our community
Huge petrolhead and to see that I have to wait this long to drive sucks.
