Proposed Driver Licence Changes: Government May Remove Second Practical Test, Cut Back on Eye Exams

Honestly, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. The driving standards out there are already sketchy enough without lowering the bar even more.

Damn

This is what happens when idiots vote for populist morons who talk loudly about cutting "red tape"

Sadly, NZ as a society got what they voted for

Of course, it's a fucking disaster, but hey, stupid people who were threatened by having an intelligent woman who was younger than them at the helm have now managed to stamp their petulant foot

And in doing so, shot the fuck out of it.

It's the people who aren't stupid and hateful who are dragged along that I feel for.
