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!

First there was a battle of the bats in Tamahere Reserve, now signs are at the centre of a controversy.
Each of the three advertising signs used to generate $88 per month for the Tamahere-Mangaone Restoration Trust, which uses the cash to improve the area.
Now Waikato District Council has told the trust to take them down, saying it received a complaint and they are a safety issue.
Trust volunteer Mark Bacchus said the group was seriously considering its future.
"Without this source of funding, operations will need to be severely curtailed."
The signs are less than 60 metres from a controlled intersection, council's community connections manager Megan May said, so they breach a District Plan provision.
