Are New Zealanders as good at driving as we think?

from Afternoons

An article in The Press today caught our eye, it looks at whether foreign drivers are always to blame for our worst crashes. According to the most recent data from the Ministry of Transport, 18 of New Zealand's 292 road deaths in 2024 occurred in crashes involving overseas drivers. They were involved in 105 of the country's 2461 serious injury crashes that year, and 534 of the 10,977 crashes that caused minor injuries. So it is fair to blame international drivers? James Dalglish, acting Chief Executive of the Rental Vehicle Association, joins us to tell us what he's observed.

FoodTravelUSA with Elizabeth Dougherty Elizabeth Dougherty Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency and homesteading-related topics to help protect to us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm-7pm (eastern) / 2pm-4pm (pacific) we produce and distribute a dozen podcast / segments each week.Website: FoodTravelUSA.comHost: Elizabeth DoughertyLive Broadcast: Saturday 5pm Executive Producer: Michael SerioEmail: [email protected] The American Story Christopher Flannery Every generation of Americans has been faced with the same question: how should we live? Our endlessly interesting answers have created The American Story. The weekly episodes published here stretch from battlefields and patriot graves to back roads, school yards, bar stools, city halls, blues joints, summer afternoons, old neighborhoods, ball parks, and deserted beaches—everywhere you find Americans being and becoming American. They are true stories about what it is that makes America beautiful, what it is that makes America good and therefore worthy of love. Each episode aims in some small way to awaken the better angels of our nature, to welcome us into and encourage us to enrich the great American story.
