The Ministry is quick to point out the number of fatal crashes involving foreign drivers is on the decrease, and that most overseas drivers crash for the same reason as New Zealanders. The editor of Dog and Lemon Guide, Clive Matthew-Wilson, is a long-held advocate of further restrictions and rules around foreign drivers. Wilson suggests we may not be able to test foreign drivers, because we're part of a United Nations convention that means we can't double test drivers. But this Government doesn't seem motivated to test foreign drivers. There have been many stories of heartache; of families who have lost loved ones at the hands of foreign drivers.
