Did you know?

In the Canterbury Police district, for the young driver 16 to 24 age group, between 2015 and 2019 (5 years), there were:

  • 54 fatal crashes
  • 390 serious injury crashes
  • 1592 minor injury crashes

The majority of crashes were due to poor observation (829), failing to give way or stop (641), alcohol (418), poor judgement (367) or speed (359).

This resulted in the type of crashes for young drivers crossing in front of oncoming traffic while they were turning, having rear-end crashes of other vehicles and losing control on bends or having a head-on crash.
