" Life is not a rehearsal, it's as happy or miserable as you want to make it"
My granddaughter is on a restricted licence, and has been for many years.
As she commented, it meets all her needs. She doesn't need to drive 24 hours a day, doesn't need a higher drink drive limit or a car full of passengers so she felt no need to upgrade.
Thats how I feel. I don't need to drive an articulated truck, front end loader, bulldozer or bus, so similarly, I think my licence meets my needs.
I can understand younger people not wanting to throw hundreds of dollars at a test when they are set up to fail, and its for a class of licence they don't want.
Or more realistically just another full licenced NZ driver. I can clearly see now why forcing people through licences is a good thing it helped this persons driving sooo much
On that note there's a green cab taxi driver here in Wellington who not only has a full but has the special passenger licence too. We [read: NZ] gave her these licences, they are not foreign (tho she is) and yet on the motorway she accelerates hard to 100, brakes hard to 80, accelerates hard to 100 brakes hard to 80 & this carries on till back on 50km/h areas again where she proceeds to drive 40km/h... yep our licence system works alright, & just think we can have more people like these on our roads with forced licence progression. Another wonderful idea from the Govt![]()

impeding the flow of traffic, could be argued dangerous driving, if she was a teen & in a Mazda familia 323 you'd also try the excessive acceleration. I'm sure there's one about consideration or annoyances too (but I'd have to go read to find out for sure & I don't feel like doing that)

It's a name given to an ammendment of the Land transport Act 1998 or so, but what relevance is it.
