driving while on the phone

Joanne from Pakuranga Heights

just a plea to people who use phones while driving, of the impact this
can have. I have a son and a friend who have both been involved in crashes (I call them that as they are not accidents) caused by people
driving while on a phone. Both cases involved trucks,
while not seriously injured thank god, the bother of having your car off
the road and repaired is so frustrating, in my sons case his vehicle was
his business, insurance never really covers all losses. and my friends
car is a total write off now he has to find a new one, after he had just
spent a lot of money on it
so please people especially drivers who drive for a living and should
know better think of the consquences of your law breaking actions
nothing is that important on your phone to risk killing someone
if you must use a phone buy a hands free, far cheaper than a crash
for everyone involved

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
