Just Another Saturday Night

Just Another Saturday Night is a resource that has been developed to educate road users with a focus on impaired driving (alcohol/and or drugs) and the risks and consequences. The story features 4 local young men who met up on an ordinary Saturday night and they planned to catch up with some friends and thought they would head to the speedway later in the evening. But it ended up not being an ordinary night when a decision to get into a car with a drunk driver changed all their lives forever……this is Jared’s story which takes you through the evenings activity and the catastrophic end to their night out.

Stopping Distances

Speed is one of the contributing factors in a number of fatal and serious crashes across Hawkes Bay. As part of our comprehensive road safety programme, we feature a number of resources that provide information about the risks and consequences of speed-related crashes. Speed reduces your time to react and come to a stop or avoid hazards. The video demonstrates how different situations can change and our expectation that the vehicle will stop as we expect it to…but this isn't always the case. The video also features Mrs Penman who was heading home after meeting up with some friends, she was killed by a driver texting as she headed home. Helen, her granddaughter tells her story and how Mrs Penman died needlessly for a text.
