LISTEN: REAP Aotearoa Director Tracey Shepherd on the ‘Lately’ show on RNZ

Last week REAP Aotearoa Director Tracey Shepherd spoke Karen Hay on the ‘Lately’ programme on Radio New Zealand National about significant delays in driver licence testing nationwide.

With some waiting over 12 weeks to sit their test she shared her concerns for the rural communities affected by this, and the inflexibility offered by testing stations.

With REAPs nationwide assisting over 1500 people in their learner, restricted full and specialist licences in 2020, Tracey shared her suggestions around what could be done better to support our rural communities.
