Govt proposing to remove 2nd practical driving test
A call for young drivers to have 60 hours of practice behind the wheel before they get a restricted licence will be a big hurdle for some unless the government funds it. This is according to a Wairoa trust that helps rangatahi get their licences. The government has floated changes to the rules for getting a restricted license. Denise Eaglesome-Karekare, the chief executive of Wairoa Young Achievers Trust spoke to Lisa Owen.
