In an effort to lower or eliminate the death toll of children being hit by vehicles on the road, the Transport Department are running demonstrations to show just how lethal speed can be. At present the statistics show that 17 children die each year as a result of being hit by a vehicle. I wonder what the statistics are for children being hurt or maimed due to being hit by vehicles?
Tait put together this Animoto video of the stopping demonstration held in Iwa Street, Mapua.
Great set of photos Tait. I hope your video helps to remind us all how dangerous the roads can be; I've certainly been driving more slowly through the village since I watched the demonstration!
