Police Happy With Southland Road Behaviour Over Long Weekend
Police want to thank Southland locals and visitors for excellent behaviour on the roads and at events over the Waitangi weekend.
“We’re pleased to say there have been no real issues throughout the Burt Munro event, which is outstanding,” says Southland Area Commander, Inspector Mike Bowman.
“We want to thank our community and people that travelled to Southland for playing their part in keeping our roads safe.”
As the weekend comes to an end, Police are reminding people to take their time and drive to the conditions.
“There will be a significant visible Police presence on our roading network across Te Waipounamu, to monitor our roads and ensure people get home safely.”
Inspector Bowman hopes that the good behaviour continues across the region.
“Stay distraction free, take regular breaks, and wear your seatbelt - if you’re on a motorbike make sure you’re wearing the right gear and make good decisions,” he says.
New and returning riders are urged to explore resources such as Ride Forever.
