What needs to be done to lower our road toll?
For decades, New Zealand’s persistently high road toll has been a worry for successive governments.
340 people died on our roads in 2023, down from the previous, but still far too high.
2024 is hardly looking any better – there was more than a day a death in January, the Easter road toll was at its highest in three years, while a recent head-on collision left five dead near Hamilton.
It’s an issue that is now on the coalition government to address – so what options are available to them to rectify this issue?
Today on The Front Page, we discuss what needs to be done differently with AA Road Safety spokesperson Dylan Thomsen.
