Some NZ road conditions reaching 'critical' point - AA

From Morning Report, 7:26 am on 6 April 2021

The high Easter road toll comes as no surprise to the New Zealand Automobile Association, which says the country has been a dangerous place to drive for at least the last seven years.

The holiday period officially finished at 6am today, and the eight fatalities recorded on our roads - all in the North Island - is the equal-worst since 2010.

To make driving less perilous, the AA says road maintenance should be a government priority.

Dylan Thomsen from the association spoke to Susie Ferguson.
