The learners licensing system is under the spotlight, with calls for New Zealand to adopt Australia's stricter approach.
It comes after figures show young kiwis are responsible for a disproportionate number of road deaths.
The AA wants to double the learners licence period, implement supervised driving hours, and have tougher penalties for young drivers.
Road Safety Campaigner Greg Murphy told Francesca Rudkin that this is nothing new.
He said that we’ve been accepting these statistics for decades and have done very little to move the needle.
Murphy said that a lot of drivers aren’t prepared, and we can do much, much better and save a lot more lives through better preparedness.
