Driver behaviour threat to kids

Police are alarmed by the number of people seen breaking road rules and threatening lives near a primary school during an operation last week. Counties Manukau police saw 23 redlight runners — or people speeding up to get through orange traffic lights —

46 motorists using their phones and

15 people speeding as children were arriving at school on two mornings. “The stark reality is that running red lights, speeding and being distracted by using your phone does cause serious injury and deaths on our roads,” Counties Manukau road policing manager Inspector Tony Wakelin said.
