Demerit points for scooters and driving tests

From The Panel, 4:57 pm on 16 November 2018

A boy in Britain has been hit with demerit points before he even has a licence, for clocking a high speed on an electric scooter.

Meanwhile an Auckland man has started a petition to make drivers sit another test when they renew their licence.

More than 200 people have signed the petition, which calls for drivers to sit a practical and written test every ten years.

We ask the panelists if they think these actions could make our streets safer.
