Last week I needed to make a return day trip from Paihia to Auckland. Before I’d gotten to Kawakawa I had already counted the vehicle in front of me cross a yellow centre line four times, and seven times over the white lines. This wasn't a young hoon either. It appeared to be an older gentleman in a modern well-kept vehicle. Returning from Auckland on Friday afternoon I was minutes behind a head on collision at Kauri just north of Whangarei.

The reality for most businesses is if you have people on the road, that is the most significant hazard in your workplace. Keep your team safe on the road with an up-to-date safe driving policy.
