Dash cam footage captures New Zealand resident Matt driving his red vehicle on a two lane highway.

Australian governments fail to reach 30 per cent reduction targets for deaths and serious injuries.
522 more lives lost on our roads than federal and states governments had expected.
No new National Road Safety Strategy in place as road toll spikes in the new year.
The Australian Automobile Association’s (AAA) final quarterly report benchmarking the performance of the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020 (NRSS) shows the Strategy’s key targets, to reduce road deaths and serious injuries by at least 30 per cent, have not been met.
In 2020, the national road toll was down by 6.7 per cent compared to the previous year, with most attributing the recent decline to greatly reduced traffic volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
PRCS to launch road safety card
Will train people in first aid and post crash procedures
RAWALPINDI:
The Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has launched an initiative to raise public awareness about road safety to reduce traffic accidents, deaths, and injuries and save lives.
The project will promote the ‘Individual Road Safety Commitment Card’ that is one of the initiatives set by the Global Road Safety Partnership.
Under the project, special emphasis on the post-crash response will be laid. First aid training will be imparted to traffic police and motorways police in order to boost their capacity vis-à-vis post-crash response so that maximum lives can be saved and permanent disabilities averted. The project will involve volunteers who will help promote the 10-point agenda of the Individual Road Safety Commitment Card.
