Reminder for motorists this long weekend

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Note on speed threshold: Over the holiday period – 4pm on Friday 19 October to 6am on Tuesday 23 October 2018 – if you're detected by a safe speed camera exceeding the posted speed limit by more than 4 km/h, you are highly likely to be ticketed.

Note on speed threshold: Over the holiday period – 4pm on Friday 19 October to 6am on Tuesday 23 October 2018 – if you're detected by a safe speed camera exceeding the posted speed limit by more than 4 km/h, you are highly likely to be ticketed.

Senior Sergeant Jared Kirk, Team Leader for Road Policing in Otago says Police will have a visible and active presence on Otago roads during Labour Weekend, focusing on high-risk behaviour through prevention and enforcement.

“We’ll be targeting known hot spots and risky behaviours such as speed enforcement, drug and alcohol testing, cell phone use, and seatbelt checks. We know these are the four main behaviours which contribute to death and serious injury on our roads, and these are what we address when we interact with people and share road safety messages.

“If you’re driving slowly or towing, check your mirrors and regularly pull over to let other vehicles pass. Impeding the flow of traffic can cause other drivers frustration and contribute to them making risky decisions.”

Alison Breese is known as the 'Loo Lady' for delving deep into the mysterious and forgotten world of subterranean toilets.

One of the nuggets unearthed by Breese, who is studying a Masters on the demise of Dunedin city's underground public toilets, included a 1919 report from a city engineer.

He noted that as nearby bars closed each night, the underground facilities attracted "alcoholic pandemonium of vulgarity, obscenity, and blasphemy to the loathing and disgust of the officer in charge".

Kia ora water-lovers!

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:

1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.

2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.

3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.

Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.
