Distractions campaign: Have a hmmm

Nearly 40 percent of New Zealanders admit to sending or reading text messages in a vehicle, while nearly 20 percent check or reply to social media messages. The campaign is a collaboration between ACC and NZTA, with input from NZ Police. Utilising ACC’s ‘Have a hmmm’ marketing platform it encourages young drivers to ‘have a hmmm’ and to put their phone on do not disturb before driving.

Drug driving campaign: Stopping

Drugs are present in nearly a third of all fatal crashes on New Zealand roads. This campaign aims to raise awareness that drug driving is causing harm and to discourage people from driving after taking drugs.

Seatbelts campaign: Warmer seatbelt warnings

Wearing a seatbelt reduces the risk of being killed or seriously injured in a road crash by about 40%. If everyone wore their seatbelts an estimated 25 lives could be saved from road crashes each year.

Motorcycling safety campaign: Ride your own ride

People on motorcycles and mopeds are amongst the most vulnerable on our roads and are significantly over-represented in deaths and serious injuries on New Zealand roads.

Drink-driving campaign: Would you rather

Despite the message to not drink and drive being widely accepted, we continue to see alcohol impairment as a significant issue on our roads. Many people claim they would never drive drunk, yet still get behind the wheel in an impaired state. This campaign asks our audience to consider the consequences of being caught drink driving by showing different personal and social scenarios they could be faced with.

Safe vehicles campaign: Your last line of defence

In a crash, your vehicle is your last line of defence and safety ratings are the best way of knowing how it is likely to perform.

Speed campaign: Through my eyes

Our challenge is to shift the acceptability of speeding amongst New Zealand drivers. They have a variety of ‘reasons’ and excuses for their speeding and don’t believe they will be caught or have a crash. This campaign reminds drivers that there are consequences to ignoring the speed limit; whether that be Police enforcement or a potentially fatal crash.
