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
"Nearly 80% of New Zealanders agree that compulsory breath testing enforcement helps lower the road toll"
"The number of fatal & serious crashes where a restraint was not worn increased by 150% between 2013-2017"
"Drink Or Drive......But Never Both"
"A Moment of Distraction Can Last Forever"
"Global Road Crashes Kill More Than 1.35 Million People Annually"
