Road to Zero
This is an open letter to the NZ Transport Agency
Just a suggestion to help reduce road accidents .... Take this scenario -
I'm travelling in the left lane, approaching a slower moving vehicle and would like to pass. I look in the rear view and side mirror and see that one car, a SUV (or similar sized vehicle) is approaching in the right hand lane, going quicker than either of us in the left lane. As it draws close to me, I turn on my indicator to show my intent to move into the right lane to allow me to pass the slow moving vehicle in front of me. The SUV is now slightly ahead of me as I start to pull out, but unbeknown to me, it has a trailer attached that I had not seen as it was hidden behind the height of the vehicle. Unless I have quick reactions, I will collide with the trailer and mayhem will ensue.
May I suggest that any vehicle towing a trailer that is lower than the vehicle, display a large yellow T on their left side front bumper to alert drivers looking into their rear/side mirrors, to take extra care when pulling out to overtake.
Just a thought.
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 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.
