Poll: Do we need better testing of drug-drivers?

Reporter The Timaru Herald

Ministry of Transport has said better testing is urgently needed as "an important part of making our roads safer".

In 2018, 71 people were killed in crashes where a driver was found to have drugs or medication in their system, which could have impaired their driving.

It is said that in order for testing to be effective, it has to be conducted at "sufficiently intense levels and in a highly visible manner".

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
