    Damn people struggling to get License over there?

    New Zealand: “we have an epidemic, no one can pass the driving test!

    Person who can’t pass driving test: “How about you just get rid of the driving test?

    New Zealand: “Oh, shit why didn’t I think of that.”

      It’s so smart. It’s a wonder why no one ever thought of it before…

    Almost 40 percent of New Zealanders are failing their full licence test the first time around, leaving experts wondering why the government wants to get rid of it.

    New Zealand has one of the worst youth road safety records in the developed world.

    I know nothing about NZ politics or lobbying groups, but I’d follow the money on this one.
