  • 1Road Safety There has been another weekend of death and destruction on New Zealand's roads. Last year, 750 people died in road accidents, this year 556 have already died. Some people believe the speed limit should be reduced, others advocate a curfew for young drivers and harsher penalties for those who flout the road rules.
