He’s attended many serious motorcycle crashes and learned first-hand the factors that cause and contribute to them.
Sadly, in the majority of cases, there were things the rider could have done to prevent the crash, “and that breaks my heart”, says Graeme. His solution? “Do some training”. It just might save your life.

Will you be taking to the streets in your community to strike for better pay? The nurses union has "strongly rejected" a DHB pay and conditions offer and is seeking urgent mediation. That means strikes scheduled for July could still go ahead. Do you support the nurses' stance? What do you think of the latest pay offer? Let us know in the replies. Click here to read more.

ASB customers are being targeted in a "smishing" scam. They've been getting text messages claiming they've been locked out of their bank accounts, but it's really a ruse to get them to hand over their banking details.

ASB is aware of a current SMS ('smishing') scam where people have been sent a text message pretending to be from the bank. The 'smishing' SMS contains a link that once clicked prompts the person to provide personal information and a wide range of details such as login details and their Netcode.
ASB wants to remind everyone that legitimate messages from any bank would never ask customers to supply personal information, login details or second-factor identification.
The ASB Contact Centre is available on 0800 803 804 if a customer is concerned about any suspicious messages they receive. Read more here

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.
We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?

However Waikato DHB has received notice of a second strike on Thursday 12 July. The NZNO union and the DHBs have agreed a revised offer that will be taken to NZNO members this week and we expect to know the outcome of that ballot on Tuesday 10 July.
We are continuing our contingency planning for the proposed strike on 12 July which will impact on a number of services provided by our hospitals.

Who are some volunteers you know that you think deserve more recognition?
What are some great organisations you think could use more volunteers?
Maybe you're a volunteer yourself - let us know why you chose to become a volunteer, and why you enjoy being it in the comments.
Also, check out one of Franklin's lifesavers who has been volunteering with the Waiuku St John Ambulance service for four years.
Please put NFP if you don't want your comment to be printed.
