Education priority in Drink-drive campaign
This week's Drink-Drive-Die campaign article is written by Senior Road Traffic Instructor with the Ministry of Transport, Peter Thomas: The Ministry of Transport in the Wanganui district is fully supportive of the Wanganui Area Health Board's Drink-Drive-Die campaign. MoT enforcement teams will be formed within the district to deal with anyone who, despite all the publicity and public education, remains irresponsible enough to drink and drive. Traffic Officers from Taumarunui, Turangi, Waiouru, Ohakune and Wanganui will be involved in these enforcement teams. Coupled with the increased enforcement activity over the Christmas period, heavy emphasis on education has remained in place since the community alcohol action campaign which was centred on Wanganui from May to July this year. The MoT's educational courses from which 470 young people graduated during the alcohol awareness programme has since remained a high priority educational pursuit of the traffic education section officers.
