RE: https://mastodon.nz/@joncounts/117268951549236535 An even more damning bit of evidence comes to the surface when we compare the YTD ratio of fatalities to crashes. 2026: 226 deaths in 198 crashes 2025: 206 deaths in 198 crashes That, my friends, is physics talking. Same number of incidents, 10% more people killed. Higher average speeds mean greater damage and severity of injuries. This is the blood on SImeon Brown's hands that I have been talking about ever since that murderous ghoul said he was going to increase speed limits to "boost productivity." National owns this. It's a bloodbath and it does not have to be this way. How many seconds did the average driver save on their commute? #NZPol
