Answer

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has advised me that the road safety behaviours of commercial operators are monitored regularly. Any driver who holds a Class 2-5 licence or an endorsement will continue to be monitored as a result. NZTA has also advised me that it is currently considering what else may be needed to monitor road safety outcomes for the full cohort over time.
