Manage episode 415137966 series 2098285
Fees for re-sitting driver’s licence tests could return as nationwide wait times surge.
Since October, it has been free to retry licence tests as many times as needed after paying a one-off fee. NZTA says there has been a significant increase in demand since the change, leading to unacceptable wait times.
AA Chief Policy and Advocacy Officer Simon Douglas tells Mike Hosking there needs to be a cap on the number of free re-sits allowed as people join the waitlist but do not show on the day.
