1. Note: An addendum
to the final official road toll figures will be released on
30 April 2013, should ANZPAA be advised that anyone
subsequently dies as a result of injuries sustained over the
Easter holiday road toll period.
2. Note: The New
Zealand Ministry of Transport (who use a different counting
period) kindly provide ANZPAA with the New Zealand road toll
figures which fall within the Australian Easter counting
period (00:01 Thursday 28 March – 23:59 1 April 2013). New
Zealand’s official Easter holiday counting period for 2013
will begin at 1600 Thursday 28 March and end at 0600 hours
Tuesday 2 April. Therefore the road toll statistics reported
by ANZPAA may differ from the official New Zealand Easter
holiday road toll.
