Planned changes 120 hours of supervised driving practice, Courses And raising awareness of the crash risk
2300 random people reported 74% would like the driving age up to 18. The age raised to 20 was even more popular.
These are one of the major reasons for problems with young drivers today Is high powered cars like this one
The Government says ‘young drivers have become a lethal statistic’ 67 deaths 506 serious injuries These crashes involved at least one driver between 15 and 19
It was estimated that up to 33 lives could be saved 686 injuries prevented
At the moment NZ has the lowest driving age around the world If the driving age went up it would still be younger than most of European countries. Theirs is 17 to 18
So if the government changes the driving age and you’re 14 turning 15 at the end of the year you’ll just have to wait another year!
