Speed big factor in NC accidents<br />
By DAVID HILL,<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
Speed has been afactor in what has<br />
been one of the deadliest years on <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>’s roads.<br />
There have been 13 fatalities on the<br />
region’s roads so far this year, including<br />
five in one weekend.<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Rural Area Commander<br />
Inspector Peter Cooper said speed was<br />
one of four common factors in fatal car<br />
accidents.<br />
‘‘We call it RIDS restraint,<br />
impairment, distraction and speed. All<br />
crashes have at least one of those<br />
factors.<br />
‘‘It is really sad that people lose their<br />
lives on <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> roads and it is<br />
all preventable crashes.’’<br />
Restraint meant wearing your<br />
seatbelt, impairment included the<br />
influence of alcohol and /ordrugs, and<br />
distraction included playing on a<br />
cellphone.<br />
But speed was the most common factor<br />
leading to accidents, he said.<br />
‘‘For every kilometre we can reduce<br />
the speed we reduce crashes and lives<br />
lost.<br />
‘‘I see people complaining about<br />
speed limits, but if we all went that little<br />
bit slower we would save lives.’’<br />
Councils have been working on speed<br />
management plans under Waka Kotahi<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency’s<br />
Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2022,<br />
which came into effect in May last year.<br />
The imposing of new speed limits,<br />
including 80kph on rural sealed roads,<br />
60kph on rural unsealed roads, 40kph in<br />
urban areas and 30kph around urban<br />
schools, town centres and some urban<br />
streets, has been met with amixed<br />
reaction.<br />
But Mr Cooper said the new speed<br />
limits were based on science and saving<br />
lives.<br />
The 30kph speed limits were<br />
recommended for areas where there<br />
were likely to be more children and<br />
cyclists out and about.<br />
Mr Cooper said attending accidents<br />
was one of the most difficult parts of the<br />
job of apolice officer.<br />
‘‘It is one thing Iworry about when I<br />
get the call that there’s been acrash. Is<br />
it going to be my family or someone I<br />
know?<br />
‘‘Everybody knows somebody in this<br />
community.’’<br />
