Nelson intersection near-miss - what can be done?
A near-miss at a notorious Nelson road junction has prompted a plea for better awareness by trucks at risky intersections. Philippa Foes-Lamb was travelling west on the Appleby section of State Highway 60 when a heavy vehicle pulling a trailer unit pulled out suddenly from the Pea Viner Corner on Thursday afternoon.
The review of the route, between Three Brothers and Maisey Road, led to an NZTA proposal to lower the speed limit from 100km/h to 80km/h to improve safety.
Tasman District Council is proposing to lower the speed limits on connecting roads along the 9km stretch to ensure consistency with the speed limit proposed for SH60.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes

❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
