Overhaul to drivers licensing leaves some instructors concerned

A gear change in driver licensing has some instructors concerned. The government has unveiled the first major changes to the system in 15 years, meaning drivers won't have to sit a second practical test when they go for their full licence. Under 25s will spend 12 months on their learner licence instead of the current six. For under 25s the time spent on a restricted licence is reducing from up to 18 months down to a year. New Zealand Institute Driver Educators president and Paeroa driving instructor Mark Revill-Johnson spoke to Lisa Owen.
