In 2016, 25 people died in NZ in a vehicle accident which involved overseas drivers.
Should Foreign drivers sit some kind of driving test before being allowed to drive in NZ?

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

There are several ways of doing this which would still allow the normal Christmas and New Year stat days being observed, but the lengthy 3-5 week break would be delayed most likely to mid February to mid March.
