It's not even the end-of-year holiday season yet and Northland's road toll has already hit a five year high

s9.addthis.com (www.addthis.com) 1 December 2009
Northland's road toll is already its worst in five years, with the holiday season still to come.

This morning at 5.30 a woman was killed after being thrown from a car, which then rolled over her, at Mata, south of Whangarei.

At 10.30, a 69-year-old man failed to take a corner on State Highway 12 near Tokatoka Rd in Ruawai. His vehicle slammed into a bank and died at the scene.

A 25-year-old woman has today died in hospital after being injured in a crash in Kerikeri last Friday night.

Northland's road toll now stands at 31.

Or raise the standard of driving in NZ.


Whichever one is easier.

In 2008 Northlands road toll was 25 deaths. So yes it is up.
Northland always has a high figure.
The next worst district was Matamata-Piako with 16 deaths, then Taupo with 15 deaths.
The worst city was Manukau with 20 deaths, followed by Christchurch with 16 deaths.
I wonder how many un warranted and unsafe cars there are in Northland ?

835534 2009-12-01 22:03:00 The problem isn't unsafe cars, it's Aucklanders who go on holiday up there and don't know how to drive on a road with corners. roddy_boy (4115)

835537 2009-12-01 22:36:00 Is it all possible most were caused by local maoris doing some of the following
Driving pissed or on drugs
Not wearing seatbelts kids in kids seats
Unsafe cars
Unliscenced drivers
Speeding to fast for conditions
Or am I a racist prick?
