Safety On The Roads
Well, the holiday season is well and truly over but the fine weather is still with us. There are still many more sunshine rays to soak up so the weekenders will still be out in force.
The kids are back to school and mum and dad back to work. Life returns to normal for another year.
This all means that the roads are still going to be busy and congested and we all need to continue to be vigilant about road safety.
Needless to say, to be safe on the roads you need to have safe driving habits and this starts from the very first day of driver training.
So if you have teenagers about to train for their driving licence, do them a favour and ensure they get the right training. How they are trained now will be ingrained into their driving habits for the rest of their lives.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
