If the good or bad news can be consistently located on an Auckland map, add it to the Cyclist Input Map too. Reporting a hazard or problemHave you got a request for an improvement or spotted a hazard for cyclists that your local road controlling authority can do something about? It's important to report it as soon as possible, so please contact the relevant Council and ask them to let you know when it's fixed.
Reporting unsafe driving - Police RoadwatchClick here to do it online at the Police Roadwatch website. This is quick and easy, won't take up much of your time, and will likely result in a letter being sent to the offending driver. You'll need the registration number, and ideally the make and model, of the vehicle. Use the CarJam site to cross-check the vehicle details. Reporting unsafe driving (with a view to prosecution)You're going to need to be committed here. You must lay a formal complaint at your nearest Police station, and be prepared to take time out to go to Court.I've had a crash with a motor vehicle - what should I do?We hope you're OK! Please note it's REALLY important that you file a crash report with the Police and that the Police take the incident seriously. If you're injured it's even more important - in fact it's a legal requirement that the crash be reported as soon as practicable and certainly within 24 hours. Here are two checklists that will help with this. The first is a Serious crash checklist to help you to note all the details of your crash. This information can help you when dealing with the police and insurance companies. The second is an Incident checklist in the event that you wish to report an accident or incident to the police. You might like to print these out and carry them with you in a backpack or seatbag for easy reference. Take photos with your mobile phone camera too. If we can help further, please contact us. |
