The driver licensing system may be in for a government overhaul.

Under proposals released yesterday, the practical driving test for a full licence will go, and fewer eyesight tests will be needed.

A clean record would be needed for restricted drivers to gain to their full licence, the demerit threshold for learner and restricted drivers would fall to 50, and there'd be zero alcohol limits for learner and restricted drivers of any age.

Road Safety Campaigner Greg Murphy joins the show to discuss the changes.
