TRAFFIC:

Friday, 29 July, a truck had a blow out on a front tyre while negotiating a bend on SH25, Whenuakite. Unfortunately, the driver was unable to maintain control of the vehicle, which ended up on its side in the ditch. Thankfully no-one was hurt. With the weather we have been having recently, now is a good reminder for everyone to check their vehicle tyres to ensure they have sufficient tread depth. Vehicle safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Drive Safe and Drive Well.
