Reminder to prevent stock from wandering onto highways
This News & Events section has been included to help inform and share information from our road safety partners about current issues and campaigns that might be of interest.
"Driving 5km/h above the speed limit in a 60km/h zone has the same level of casualty risk as driving at the New Zealand drink-driving limit (blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 50 mg/100 ml)."
"'The driver is safer when the roads are dry; the roads are safer when the driver is dry' "
"A moments distraction can cause a lifetime of change"
"'Drive now. Text later'"
"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."
