STATS: Drivers on a restricted licence are seven times more<br />
likely to be involved in a fatal or serious injury crash than<br />
other drivers, said city council transport operations manager<br />

Crash Bash aims to keep drivers safe<br />
THE DANGERS of open roads<br />
and driving to the conditions are<br />
the focuses of this year’s Crash<br />
Bash programme.<br />
The Crash Bash road safety<br />
education programme is<br />
rolling out across Christchurch<br />
schools with the aim of keeping<br />
teenagers safe on the open road.<br />
The programme tours secondary<br />
schools as an interactive<br />
stage performance with actors<br />
from the Court Theatre.<br />
This year, Crash Bash<br />
celebrates its 30th year touring<br />
schools, with the focus on the<br />
dangers of open roads and<br />
driving to the conditions. The<br />
performance is targeted at Year<br />
11 to 13 students.<br />
“Poor handling and speed are<br />
our contributing factors in fatal<br />
crashes involving young drivers<br />
and many of these crashes occur<br />
on the open road. So that is<br />
why we have decided to make<br />
it a focus of this year’s Crash<br />
Bash,” said city council transport<br />
operations manager Stephen<br />
Wright.<br />
“We want<br />
young people to<br />
be aware of the<br />
risks that come<br />
with driving<br />
too fast and to<br />
understand that<br />
the choices they<br />
make when they<br />
Stephen<br />
Wright<br />
get behind the wheel of a car<br />
have consequences – potentially<br />
life changing consequences,” he<br />
said.<br />
“The sad reality is that drivers<br />
on a restricted licence are seven<br />
times more likely to be involved<br />
in a fatal or serious injury crash<br />
than other drivers.<br />
“Data also shows that young<br />
restricted drivers are more at<br />
risk of having a serious crash in<br />
the first six to twelve months of<br />
driving solo on their restricted<br />
licence than at any other time in<br />
their lives.<br />
“We want our young drivers<br />
to stay safe on the roads. Crash<br />
Bash will hopefully make them<br />
think about how they are driving<br />
and how they can avoid risky<br />
situations.”<br />
Crash Bash is funded by the<br />
city council and developed by the<br />
Court Theatre in collaboration<br />
with Canterbury Police.<br />

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for the professionalism and<br />
care that you have taken selling Eve’s home. One can never underestimate<br />
the level of stress that this process can cause, especially on someone of<br />
mum’s age.<br />
The way you have been patient with her, kept her informed and been<br />
so kind to her has made this so much easier and for that we are very<br />
grateful.<br />
