    A fresh driving campaign's targeting young people behind the wheel

    A fresh driving campaign's targeting young people behind the wheel


    The NZTA, Police and ACC have worked together to encourage 16-24 year old's to 'have a hmm' before texting friends and family while driving.

    The campaign turns ghosting, which is actively ignoring texts, into a positive.

    ACC Injury Prevention Leader James Whitaker says it's an important message because young driver's are more likely to be involved in a crash.

    He says using their phone while driving increases the risk by four times.
