A coroner has said the placement of a tablet inside a truck served as a “significant distraction”. The tablet had been attached directly in front of the driver’s face, McKenzie said, in the “critical vision area”. “I recommend police, WorkSafe, and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency undertake a joint safety campaign regarding the safe use of electronic tablets or other similar devices in vehicles,” McKenzie said. “Drawing greater public attention to the issue will reduce the chances of further deaths occurring in similar circumstances.” Police director of road policing Superintendent Steve Greally said officers were on the roads every day targeting and preventing unsafe behaviour to reduce serious injuries and death.
