It takes a mix of different factors to keep us safe on the road. Elements such as road maintenance, safe speeds, and driver education don’t protect us well by themselves, but together they make a powerful system that’s there for us when we crash.

Ten years ago tomorrow, the Manawatū Standard (@ManawatuNZ) - then an early afternoon paper, published the first print story on Scott Guy's death, written by @TheHowe . A brief, with scant information. It started a barely unbelievable six weeks for the provincial newsroom.

In 2017, speed was a factor in 95 crashes that killed someone, 526 that caused serious injuries, and 1362 that caused minor injuries. Stick to the speed limit this summer and keep the roads safe for everyone #MidCentralSafeForSummer
