Debate on Raising Driving Age in New Zealand After Tragic Crash

The recent tragic crash near Lincoln, claiming the lives of three 15-year-old girls, has reignited the debate over the driving age in New Zealand. With a concerning statistic of 67 deaths and 506 serious injuries involving young drivers aged 15 to 19, many argue for raising the driving age to 18 or even 20, with 74% of surveyed individuals supporting this change. The government is promoting initiatives like 120 hours of supervised driving practice to address crash risks. As the country currently has the lowest driving age globally, the potential change could bring it in line with European standards.
