New Zealand Police want motorists to do their part to keep roads safe this season.

Motorists should expect to see police anytime and anywhere over the Christmas break to ensure that everyone traveling the roads and highways reaches their destination safely.

Superintendent Steve Greally, Director of Road Policing, said there is no excuse for any driver to endanger their lives or those of others by engaging in unsafe behaviors. Police said drivers detected speeding or driving impaired by alcohol or drugs will be ticketed.

Over the Christmas period last year, 21 people were killed in road crashes, and road safety partners said they don’t want a repeat of that figure this year.
