we homestayed a chinese highschool girl a few years back her chinese boyfriend went home for a week and came back with a drivers licence, bought a car from another student and was driving about, he had never driven before, didnt have a clue about our road rules, we informed the school, not long after she moved out to another homestay, fake licences are easy to get in china

I remember when I converted my overseas licences (US and two other jurisdictions) some 20+ years ago, I had to sit the written test before getting my full license convertion. Has NZTA changed the rules now?

Also remember, you don't need to have a license to own a car in NZ.

I installed a dashcam in my Jeep over the weekend, and today captured this wonderful driving from a bus driver. As soon as I saw the bus pulling out on left, I knew there was absolutely no intention on his part to even care who he sideswiped. I stomped on the brakes and hoped the driver behind me stopped as well. You can clearly see how many cars had to brake because of this bus driver's impatience.

A bus weaving like that in rush hour traffic, who needs tourists for an accident. I have many similar examples on my bike dashcam.

Nothing new mate. Bus drivers in Auckland have always been cunts.
Why are the comments for the clip turned off?

Funnily enough … they "May" be shitty drivers … but they don't feature much in fatal accident stat's … from European areas usually.

A thing to look at in crashes with "Foreign driver involvement" ... is whom is at fault. Often the headline is "Overseas tourist was involved" … not always found to be at fault. Mention of charges laid is usually mentioned on page three … a week later.

Page 3 is the diagram page. Page 4 tells the story.

I'm referring to the crash reports.

I should turn them on, just had the default setting in my head as off.

As for the bus drivers, this time I was driving. But on the bike using bus lane has made me very aware of their ways.

You can drive on an overseas license (from an approved country) for 12 months before you need the NZ license.

And I was referring to the newspaper page three …. although you are probably more familiar with the page 3 of another tabloid …
