The public is constantly seeing stories about the ongoing New Zealand road toll.
Some roads are more badly afflicted, such as the SH2 between Bethlehem and Waihi. I find it incredible that so many crashes are head-on. The police Serious Crash Unit is often occupied for many hours
investigating these crashes, especially the fatal ones.
What I find concerning is that, after detailed reporting on these crashes in the paper, little or no feedback is afforded to the public regarding the SCU's conclusions on the reasons for these crashes.
Surely, some feedback to the public by the police on their conclusions for these crashes will go a long way towards the public understanding of their causes. So assisting towards appropriate planning measures for prevention of future carnage.
