Driver Reviver on State Highway 1 in Hurunui this Easter Monday

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

AMI's Driver Reviver – a public event to educate drivers on the connection between driver fatigue and crashes – will be held on Monday, April 10 from 2pm to 4pm at the Hurunui River rest area on SH1.

Anyone on the road at the time is encouraged to stop in for a complimentary snack and drink from the AMI BBQ Trailer, and a barista coffee from the coffee car. Visitors can take a rest on a bean bag or visit the activities onsite to learn more about how to curb the effects of driver fatigue, particularly on long journeys.

The AMI Driver Reviver event is a collaboration with local police, the Hurunui District Council, Downers, Fire and Emergency New Zealand and St John, with strong support from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, and Satisfy Food Rescue.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
