The NZ Heavy Haulage Association joined a coalition of transport groups calling for increased access to driver education and training to help address the growing number of New Zealanders without a full driver’s licence.

The group, also consisting of Transporting New Zealand, Driving Change Network, Bus and Coach Association, MITO New Zealand, National Road Carriers Association, and Groundspread NZ - NZGFA wrote to Ministers last week requesting more support for the growing pool of unlicensed Kiwis, which totals over one million.

Together we are calling for driver education and testing to be integrated into secondary schools and supported by Government funding. The group is also calling for boosted funding for low-income learners to access free programmes, and for the growth of community-based training and testing services, particularly in rural and high-deprivation areas.

In a news item on Radio NZ this morning, Association CE Jonathan Bhana-Thomson discussed the weight restrictions on newer State Highway bridges, saying that NZTA “didn't anticipate all of the vehicles that would need to go over it, including our specialized overweight ones. Possibly at the heart of that is ... they're relying on the bridge manual that was determined in 1972 and the vehicles that were around at that time."
