Yesterday was a very lucky day for two cars on Riverside Drive around 2pm on Monday.
It was great some nice lady stop to help, even if it was to allow another person to sit in their car until the ambulance turn ups. Someone with a large first aid kit and large fire extinguisher.
There was "caring" from the person who said sorry a few times...from one of the cars that was involved. It was nice to hear.
It was good to see so many Police and Fire services with two Ambulances who came to help.
The sad thing I want to get to is how "dumb" are drivers who goes past a accident who doesn't slow down when someone with a high vis vest waves their hands to slow down the car/s just speed past. How many of you were those car who didn't know to SLOW DOWN?
I'm glad that everyone wasn't hurt to bad as being a first responder at the scene.
Hey please drive slow past an accident, if you have any skills please stop and help. Thanks to all the others who did stop to help it shows we do have a caring community.
Thanks Tony Gill

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!
