Hit and Run Incident
A lady in a small silver hatchback hit a cyclist at the corner of Salisbury Road and Florence St in Richmond at about 10.30am this morning. She did not stop. The cyclist has hurt his back, his bike is damaged as well as his cellphone. There were quite a few people around so hopefully somebody managed to get her licence plate number. Her car will be damaged. The incident has been reported to Nelson Police. Very lucky that the cyclist was not killed or much more injured. Please do the decent thing driver and go to the police. You have committed an offence. I fail to see how you would not have known that you hit somebody on a bike. Imagine if it was one of your family that this happened to
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
