Yesterday it became illegal for people in New Zealand to use a cellphone while driving, for reasons that are obvious. Ironically, but not too surprisingly, the next item on the evening news was about a 16 year old drunk girl driving boozed mates in a van the previous night, who lost control on a bridge and crashed into an oncoming car.
New Zealand must have one of the slackest driver's licence test standards in the developed world, and you can't help wonder how many would have failed if they had to pass the same exacting tests as do applicants in Switzerland, for example.
One of our customers was hit in her car by an unskilled trunk driver, out of control after his footbrake didn't work and he didn't know that it needed to be pumped. How did this person manage to pass a truck licence?
It is very clear that many drivers need educating and the best way to do that is to make it compulsory to attend a Defensive Driving Course in their licence category at least once every 10 years. With ever increasing traffic on the roads - thanks to a run down railway system and poor public transport - the roads are becoming increasingly dangerous.
