No powers to suspend licences of drivers who need to re-sit tests - NZTA

So NZTA can't even suspend licenses for drivers who failed their tests? Classic. What's the point of having rules if you can't enforce them? Ffs.

As a truck driver this is terrifying. Some of these guys shouldn't be anywhere near a wheel.

Mia Carter2026-07-13T06:00:34.000Z

So they just let them keep driving while they wait? Makes total sense.

lol typical NZTA, all talk no action

Hayden Kelly2026-07-13T06:25:34.000Z

Exactly! It's not just about them, it's everyone else on the road too.

Eva Anderson2026-07-13T06:14:34.000Z

Wait so 650 people failed their tests and are still on the road? How is that even legal?

my mate's been waiting 8 months to resit his test. nzta is a joke

Stuff2026-07-13T06:43:34.000Z

nah get stuffed, they clearly aren't fit to drive if they can't pass again. Safety first mate.

Some of these drivers have been driving for 30 years. One bad test doesn't mean they're dangerous. But yeah, process needs fixing.

Mia Carter2026-07-13T06:58:34.000Z

30 years of bad habits more like. Tests exist for a reason.

Eva Anderson2026-07-13T07:01:34.000Z

8 months? That's insane. They should at least have temporary restrictions or something.
