Lower speed limit of 80kmh signalled for high accident stretch

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

A lower speed limit of 80kmh may be in place by Christmas along a deadly stretch of State Highway 60, near Nelson.

New Zealand Transport Agency has signalled a lowering of the speed limit from 100kmh to 80kmh for the whole section of SH60 between Three Brothers Corner at Richmond and Maisey Rd.

The increasingly busy section, which includes a long straight followed by a winding stretch, has had a number of fatal and serious crashes in recent years. Read more here.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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 need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
