T Plates for Tourists on NZ Roads
The Issue
About:
"The Transport Ministry figures report that in some parts of New Zealand have a shockingly high percentage of crashes involving foreign visitors. In some regions between 2009 and 2013, 37 per cent of crashes involved an overseas driver." - NZ Herald
"New Zealand’s terrain and roads are unlike anywhere else in the world. This, combined with the prospect and perception of space, beauty and a largely insouciant attitude, has blinded many tourists when travelling across our country." - Stuff.co.nz
"If learner drivers are required to display L-plates, and restricted drivers are required to abide by curfews and accompaniment rules, then logically it would make sense to enforce equivalent rules upon overseas drivers. A simple requirement for tourists to display T-plates would alert surrounding drivers to be extra vigilant."- Stuff.co.nz
