New Zealand continues to experience the tragic consequences of poor decision making on our roads. Impaired driving, that is, driving affected by alcohol and drugs; speeding; the failure to wear seat belts; unlicenced drivers; inexperience; and recidivist offending all feature highly in the statistics. Recent articles in the media highlights our plight:-
NZ Herald 21 February – “Reports car in fatal crash may have been racing”
NZ Herald 22nd February “Jail for drunk driver who killed picnicking woman”
Bay Chronicle “Call to put drivers on the Right Track”
NZ Herald August 17 2011 -“Teen workmates’ tragic road death”
