'Road to Zero' heading other direction

From Morning Report, 8:11 am on 23 November 2022

The government's strategy to reduce road deaths and injuries is missing most of its targets -- with the all-important breath testing and reducing speed limits lagging the most.

Waka Kotahi's annual report shows only one of six measures for the Road to Zero strategy were met for the year to the end of June.

And more people are dying on the roads this year than last.

Waka Kotahi declined to come on the show to talk about the problem they have identified.

The Automobile Association's road safety spokesperson, Dylan Thomsen spoke to Corin Dann instead.
