Near-miss report
Why are we doing this?
This is an easy way to keep the authorities informed of cyclist-intolerant drivers and of safety issues caused by poor roading design or signage.
It is hoped that this action will lead to:
- improvements to the road environment in the Kapiti region
- alerting some drivers that their driving habits are endangering the lives of others
- improving driver awareness of cyclists.
What will we do with the information?
We will forward the information to the land transport authority.
If you have had a 'near-miss' with a car, take action: let us know.
