Ice driving
With the winter months upon us the inevitable icy roads are causing problems. "The locals are pretty well clued up, it's the ones who come from out of town that are having the accidents," 1 Waiouru policeman Dale Jenkins told the Bulletin last week. "They see that mountain and everything else just goes out of their brain, that's what the problem is," he said. Constable Eddie Baker of Waiouru said safe driving in icy conditions is really common sense: Keep the speed ' down; Avoid sharp braking; Increase followingdistances; Be patient.
