Episode Details

Matariki weekend is here, but the police are sending a clear message: don’t risk lives on the road. With 175 deaths already this year, preventable crashes are hitting hard — and enforcement is zeroing in on seatbelt violations, drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving. No warnings this time — consequences are real. This isn’t just a holiday issue; it’s year-round. Police are stepping up visibility and urging everyone to share responsibility. Last year’s Matariki saw one fatality — this year, fatalities are already up. Make smart choices, stay alert, and get home safely — because every life lost leaves a whole community in mourning.
