A Hawke鈥檚 Bay-based motorsport legend says a plan by the Ministry of Transport to remove the full-licence practical test is nothing short of 鈥渓udicrous鈥.
In April, Minister for Transport Chris Bishop announced a range of suggested changes to the licensing system, including removing the full-licence practical test and introducing safety mitigations for people on their learner or restricted licence.
The Government is proposing the changes to make the process 鈥渕ore accessible, efficient and affordable鈥.
Greg Murphy, V8 Supercar icon and Bathurst-winning driver, told Kerre Woodham that nearly 10 thousand people have died on the road in the last 25 years, 2500 of them between the ages of 15-24.
He says this discussion with the govrnment has provided an opportunity to reassess and reevaluate the licensing system, and we can鈥檛 afford to stuff it up.
