We’re officially at a road death rate of one a day so far this year. Stay safe, don’t speed, be sober, belt up, and throw your phone in the boot.

NZ consistently has the worst drivers I've ever had the horror of driving with. Purposely speeding up on passing places. Driving erratically. Levels of entitlement over 9000.

No respect for other road users and a mentality similar to housing. "I've got mine so screw the rest of you"

Surprised the death toll isn't far higher.
