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
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve 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!

Musical Commemoration on 75th Anniversary

Globe Theatre

If you loved the enduring era of Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Perry Como, Dame Vera Lynn and the Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey big bands, then D-Day Dedication at The Globe on June 8/9 will have strong appeal.

But alongside the immortal music of the 1940s, there’s an even more important event being commemorated.

The concert, which pays tribute to all those great artists, marks the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings. D-Day Dedication commemorates the turning point in the war by presenting the music of the era sung and played by Vicki Lee, Kathi Craig, Erna Ferry, the PNBHS Stage Band, Douglas Ransom, a male chorus and many more.

Vicki Lee has just returned from a South Island tour singing the music of “the forces’ sweetheart”, Dame Very Lynn, whom she’s met and is still alive at 102.

A particular highlight will be a special Roger Buchanan arrangement of Blue Smoke, one of the most popular New Zealand songs of all time. It will be sung by Ruru’s grand-daughter, Karla Karaitiana, with an ensemble.

Venue: Globe One
Performance on: Saturday, June 8 & Sunday, June 9.
