Tips for staying safe
Here are some quick tips for staying safe when out on the roads.
Fatigue kills
Many think this means falling asleep at the wheel, but did you know you can drift in and out of sleep without even realising?
Fatigue can mean many things when it comes to driving. When you’re tired, exhausted or emotional your reaction times can increase, creating more of a risk to yourself and others.
Do you know how safe your car is?
Safety rating on vehicles – the more stars, the safer the car and the less likely you are to cause serious harm or even death to yourself and others. When buying a new car its essential to keep this in mind. It may sound expensive, but there are suitable cars in the lower price range that do have higher safety ratings. Some research into this when purchasing yourself or a teenager a car helps support New Zealand’s goal of a road to zero!
It only takes 30 seconds to check a vehicles safety rating by check out the Rightcar NZ website.
Do you know how safe your child is?
International best practice recommends the use of an appropriate child restraint (or booster seat) until your child reaches 148 cm tall or is 11 years old. Child restraint and medical professionals recommend that you keep your baby in a rear-facing restraint until as old as practicable, at least until they are 2 years of age.
When you are the driver, children in your car must be protected in the event of a crash. As the driver, you are responsible for ensuring that any child travelling in your vehicle is correctly using an appropriate child restraint.
For more information, check out Waka Kotahi's (NZTA) website.
