Did you know Queen's Birthday Weekend is one of the busiest times to be on our roads? ๐
Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.
Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Donโt get behind the wheel if youโve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!
