Poor bloody Police!
I have never seen this paper with so many stories of car (stupidity) accidents. Face it New Zealand, we are a bunch of inadequate, over-confident under- achieving, aggressive morons with an Inflated sense of self when we get behind the wheel of car.
The only way we will ever have a "road to zero" is to take away the driver. Get real! With societies growth, lower socio-economics, lower education, congestion, impatience and attitude, the reality is going to be increased death toll. Quite frankly, I don't expect to pass on from this life through old age.
