Press Release: New Zealand Police
Wellington Police are on a mission to ensure drivers keep
themselves and other road users safe this holiday
season.
From Monday 17 to Saturday 22 December, Police
will be conducting a road safety operation throughout
Wellington, Porirua and Kapiti, focusing on seatbelts and
impairment.
“Not wearing a seatbelt is one of the four
main contributors to death and serious injury on our roads,
along with not speed, impairment and distraction,” Senior
Sergeant Dean Gorrie, Officer in Charge, Wellington & Kapiti
Mana Road Policing Team says.
“We want all road users to
get where they’re going safely this Christmas, so Police
will be out conducting random checks through the wider
Wellington region next week.
“These could take place
anywhere at any time, so buckle up, be patient and drive
free from impairment and
distractions.”
