New Zealand racing driver Greg Murphy has called for people to sit driving tests every 10 years and phone cofiscations after a horror crash at Tokoroa which killed eight people.



The community of Tokoroa is in mourning after three local schools confirmed their students were amongst those killed in Sunday's horrific crash. Newshub understands that a couple and five of their children were amongst those killed in the accident.

Last year, Murphy launched a national young drivers programme to help educate people about being prepared behind the wheel.

On Monday, he took to Facebook criticising the Government for not addressing the things that need "real attention".

"Speed is not the big issue," he wrote. "A lot of the time it is the opposite - the amount of people driving at low speeds is concerning.

"We should all be forced to re-sit our drivers licences every 10 years at the max."
