Rona Bay is one of the places to be over summer but a few visitors have been risking life and limb.

Council is asking swimmers, kayakers and anyone tempted to use Rona Bay Wharf to fish from to stay at least 10 metres away from the wharf.

The wharf is currently a construction site, as contractors continue the wharf's refurbishment work. Getting too close to the wharf or walking on it carries the risk of injury.

Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.
