On average, 1 person is killed every day on New Zealand roads and another 7 are seriously injured. Deaths or serious injuries should not be an inevitable cost of travelling. Northland roads are challenging and unforgiving.
The goal is to reduce death & serious injury crashes by 40% by 2030 is the driving force behind the Road to Zero Strategy 2020-2030.
CRASHES Are Not ACCIDENTS!
Road safety is everyone's responsibility
"At least one child is killed every month in NZ in motor vehicle crashes"
"'Recklessness is a species of crime and should be so regarded on our streets and highways'"
"On average, texting drivers take their eyes off the road for up to 5 seconds at a time. At 90kph, that’s travelling the length of a football field completely blind."
"Texting While Driving......Go Together Like.....Winning The Powerball Jackpot Then Losing The Ticket."
"'Baseball is like driving, it's the one who gets home safely that counts'"
