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
"The top three distractions while driving mentioned by respondents were children, people outside the car, and passengers"
"Chance takers are accident makers"
"In the event of a car crash, booster seats reduces the risk of injury by 59%."
"Text Or Drive.....But Never Both"
"'Drink and drive, the Police will show you some new bars'"
