gentle reminder - emergency services - *PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY*

Julia from Henderson

been meaning to post this for a while.... so so SO MANY times over recent months witnessed people/cars just simply IGNORING - emergency services - AMBULANCE - FIRE TRUCKS - POLICE

WHAT IF IT WAS YOU - IN NEED OF HELP
YOUR LOVED ONES - IN NEED OF HELP

SOME TIMES **SECONDS** *DO MATTER**

my dad taught me - GET OUT OF THEIR WAY - PULL OVER - LET THEM THROUGH

again and again and again and again and and again - WITNESSED people/cars - just COMPLETELY IGNORING EMERGENCY SERVICES

was talking to a volunteer fire fighter earlier this year - he has been driving fire trucks for 18 years - only recently - recently - they HAVE to slow down going through intersections - HAVE TO - (tracking device - new requirement) - because *people WERE NOT getting out of their way*

SECONDS CAN SAFE LIVES


oh and to the person who beeped me - (oh weeks and weeks ago - been meaning to write this for a while - witnessed so so so many more BEFORE and SINCE - FIRE TRUCKS - AMBULANCES - just not going anywhere


ย - people/cars - just sitting there - not getting out of their way (when they CAN - understand sometimes can't - these times - so many - PEOPLE/CARS HAVE ROOM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY..... just SITTING THERE - FIRE TRUCKS - AMBULANCES HAVING TO GO **AROUND** people/cars that could easily have gotten out of the way..



(oh and to the person who *beeped* me - what was your problem?? defensive driver me - (taught - re taught) - you were not behind me (I CHECKED!) *before* indicating THEN pulling over to the side of the road - getting out of the way of emergency vehicle going other way - seriously - beeped - what on earth?!)

I know, as usual - if you're here - preaching to the converted


- just needs to be said - if you're here - already a good neighbour - if you already know this - & do this - I don't know - maybe spread the word in person..?

don't know how else to fix this SERIOUS - potentially LIFE THREATENING ISSUE...

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and youโ€™re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:โ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codesโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never need to know your full credit card number โ€“ especially the CVC
โŒ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your deviceโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
