Brake works to prevent road casualties, make communities safer, and support families suffering the aftermath of a road crash.

Nationwide

Brake works to prevent road casualties, make communities safer, and support families bereaved in road crashes.

Brake launched in 2011 and since then has developed a number of projects and services. We have provided free support resources to over 1,000 families bereaved in crashes. Hundreds of organisations participate in Road Safety Week every year.

Having lived overseas for 10 years I somewhat appalled at the substandard levels of road safety in NZ. I strongly support tougher evidence based regulations, enforcement and education to stop this ridiculous carnage.
