    A horrific weekend on New Zealand's roads -- with ten people having lost their lives

    A horrific weekend on New Zealand's roads -- with ten people having lost their lives


    Four teenage boys died in a central Invercargill crash on Friday afternoon.

    Four people died in crashes on Saturday in Levin, Whangarei, Awakeri near Whakatane and Raglan.

    Yesterday, a person died in a crash shortly before 1am in Herekino and another died in a crash on State Highway 4 near Raetihi.

    Road safety campaigner Clive Matthew-Wilson says Police and Government campaigns have, yet again, failed.

    He says they're targeting the average driver, when the average driver isn't the problem.

    He says the very young, old or reckless cause almost all fatal accidents.
