Making New Zealand’s roads safer

National is taking action to make New Zealand's roads safer. Texting while
driving is a no-brainer. So from 1 November, drivers caught talking or texting on
a handheld cellphone will be fined and given demerits.
Other driver distractions need to be addressed so we have made this a priority
for the Safer Journeys discussion document, which is out for public consultation.
Feedback from road users will be used to develop a national road safety strategy
for the next 10 years.
