The Government is keen on making it easier to get more drivers on the road.
If proposed changes announced this week go through, the second practical driving test required for a full licence will be scrapped, and the number of eyesight tests needed will be reduced, with new safety measures being introduced as well.
It comes as the Government continues with its pledge to reverse Labour’s “blanket speed limit reductions” - something National campaigned on.
But will a more affordable drivers license system, and higher speed limits, make our roads any safer?
Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by AA road safety spokesperson, Dylan Thomsen , to discuss the Government’s latest plans for our roads.
