    ACC levies. I have 2 bikes and 1 cage, but I can only ride or drive one at a time... So why do I have to pay 3 lots of ACC levies?
    Time to ride

    1) Build a tunnel over the rimutucka hill, and ban all cars from the hill road
    2) Declare the wairarapa a seperate city state, with carterton as its capital. Then install mikey as governor via a bloody coup' and remove all speed limits
    3) introduce flogging and the stockade as penalties for all people who state ''oh sorry, i didnt see you'' as an excuse for shite driving
    4) wheelie and stoppie training as part of the basic handling test
    5) bring back buck!

    Police to change their enforcement emphasis to concentrate on poor driving and not speed.

    Compulsary defensive driving courses for new drivers.

    Compulsary practical driving test for all overseas drivers wanting an NZ licence.

    Ditto!
    Again get rid of that stupid 70kph on learners
    How about compulsory driver education, rather than just handing out fines willy nilly?

    I also have more than one vehicle and therefore pay levies more than once, but what if you had two teenagers, both with cage and bike licenses. Would you expect to pay more than you already do? And if so, how could it possibly be calculated and managed? Just a thought - I'd still like to pay less though!

    1) Road engineering - Paint standards - Metal lids etc.

    2) Use of bus lanes - got to be safer than splitting.

    3) Clarify (consistent) rules on splitting.

    4) 70kph restriction.

    5) Better policing of road rules, not just speed. Include indicating at roundabout and lane changes etc etc etc.

    6) Every driver has to scratch and win every 5yrs in order to keep their license.

    Agreed. Compulsary re-education with every ticket.

    Re-sit the practical exam every time you lose your licence, at your own cost, as a condition of having the license returned.

    Compulsory resits of the practical exam every 5-10 years for everyone.

    Load all acc levies onto petrol.
    Either way you pay, but this way you only pay for what you use.

    Raise Motorcycle License age limit to 30.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    120kmp/h Speed Limit on open roads.

    No 70kmp/h learner license restriction

    Driver education rather than fines, as Death suggested (fucking good idea)
