Driver Reviver on State Highway 1 in Hurunui this Easter Monday

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

AMI's Driver Reviver – a public event to educate drivers on the connection between driver fatigue and crashes – will be held on Monday, April 10 from 2pm to 4pm at the Hurunui River rest area on SH1.

Anyone on the road at the time is encouraged to stop in for a complimentary snack and drink from the AMI BBQ Trailer, and a barista coffee from the coffee car. Visitors can take a rest on a bean bag or visit the activities onsite to learn more about how to curb the effects of driver fatigue, particularly on long journeys.

The AMI Driver Reviver event is a collaboration with local police, the Hurunui District Council, Downers, Fire and Emergency New Zealand and St John, with strong support from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, and Satisfy Food Rescue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
