A suggestion Kiwi drivers should focus on themselves, with the myth blaming foreign drivers for our worst crashes busted. Ministry of Transport data shows overseas drivers were involved in only 18 of New Zealand's 292 road deaths in 2024. Of 2400 crashes resulting in serious injuries, only about 100 involved overseas drivers. Automobile Association safety spokesperson, Dylan Thomsen, says he'd love Kiwis to keep safer following distances. "It means that when somebody does something in front of you that you weren't expecting, you've actually got more time to react to it."

It's hoped long sought after funding to upgrade a notorious section of a West Clare road will finally be secured. It's after residents of Darragh met with Road Safety Minister Seán Canney to raise concerns over the conditions, speed limit and lack of signage on a section of the N68. Over 1,100 locals have signed a petition calling for upgrades on the route between the L41071 and Darragh's North Cross which has seen four fatal incidents since 2007. Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe who organised the meeting says intervention is urgently needed.

In part two, should the open road speed limit be decreased from 100 to 90kms per hour? The Australasian College of Road Safety makes the case for slowing things down. Then, the Canterbury town of Methven has an Easter tradition like no other: a Scarecrow Trail. Todd Holmes is a three-time winning scarecrow maker.

Superintendent Liam Geraghty from the Garda Press Office discusses rising road deaths in 2026.

In Mayor Wu's first term her administration ramped up their street safety agenda by implementing more bus and bike lanes and installing more speed humps in various parts of the city to slow traffic down. Now, over the last year, it appears the implementation of such road safety measures has slowed down with some residents saying road safety upgrades are still needed across the city. As spring starts to bloom, will we see more bike lanes bloom in Boston as well? What types of road safety measures or updates do you think are still needed in Boston?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this special episode of the Rodeo Labs Podcast, we sat down with Jacqueline Claudia and Michael White of the White Line Foundation to discuss how the organization has been championing key policy on the federal and state levels. Claudia is the Executive Director of the White Line, while White is the co-founder and the father of Magnus White, whose death in Boulder County in 2023 was the catalyst for the organization. In our conversation with Claudia and White, we focused on the major policy goals the White Line has been pushing at the federal and local levels that could have clear positive safety outcomes. HR 7353 is the proposed bill that the White Line has sponsored which amends existing federal regulations on Automatic Emergency Braking systems to mandate that all new vehicles have the capacity to detect vulnerable road users by September 2029. While this is a specific policy goal, it is the key culmination of a long, tragic process that began in August 2023 after a driver in Boulder County killed Magnus White. This policy would have prevented that fatal crash and has the capacity to alter the outcome of many future parallel path crashes.Additionally, the organization is advocating for a law in the Colorado state legislature, known as SB26-132, or Magnus' Law, which requires law enforcement to conduct an impairment test at every fatal or serious injury crash in the state. That state bill was introduced on Friday, February 27. That bill will be heard in the Colorado State Senate Judiciary Committee on March 9th, where the next steps of the bill will be decided. The key time crunch is getting the bill through the state senate by mid-May. If it succeeds, it could be implemented in August of this year. If you are interested in engaging with the letter-writing tool that we discussed in the podcast, you can visit it here.
