Barney Irvine from AA gives advice for the long weekend.
The holiday weekend has turned to tragedy for loved ones of three people who have died on New Zealand roads so far this Easter.
No one died on our roads last Easter, when the country was in level 4 lockdown to stop the spread of Covid-19.
But with freedom comes a return to the risk of death and injury behind the wheel, as Kiwis make their way around the country for the four-day holiday weekend.

The Arahura roundabout, which includes a rail crossing point, is being resurfaced from Monday, 8 March to Wednesday, 17 March, 6 am to 6 pm, weekdays only.
Traffic will be reduced to single lane with delays up to ten minutes for Stop/Go and traffic light management. Most delays will be much shorter than ten minutes, says Moira Whinham, Maintenance Contract Manager for Waka Kotahi on the West Coast.
In the event of wet weather, this project could be pushed out or postponed.
Waka Kotahi thanks all drivers and road users for taking care around our road crews while they complete these summer maintenance jobs ahead of the coming winter.
