During the winter months, as conditions change, you’ll need to adjust your driving to keep safe.

Here are some top tips-

-Adjust your speed to suit the conditions—when icy or snowy, drive slower than you normally would to reduce the risk of losing control or skidding.

-Be seen—use your headlights in rainy, icy, snowy and dark conditions.

-Increase your following distance during poor weather such as rain, hail, snow and fog—it takes longer to stop on slippery roads.

-Always check the weather and road conditions before you head out.

Car theft is a common problem. Here are some useful tips to make your vehicle less attractive to thieves:

• ALWAYS lock it – even if you are just stepping away from your vehicle for a short time.
• Whenever possible, park your vehicle off the street.

• Install an immobiliser and alarm system.
• Install a GPS tracking system or air tag.
• Use a steering wheel lock.
• Never leave spare keys inside your vehicle.
• Never leave any valuables inside your vehicle.

If you notice anyone acting suspiciously around parked vehicles, call 111.

It is great to see everyone working on clean-up efforts, while others will look forward to getting out and about around Tāmaki Makaurau. Whatever you are doing, we have some advice for you and anyone who visits Auckland.

Check Safeswim

All beaches in Auckland are black-pinned due to waste contamination and debris so please remain out of the water and exercise caution if you are near a beach this weekend. There may be hazards in and around the water that may pose a risk. A good idea is to check www.Safeswim.org.nz for all your up-to-date information.

Parks and Recreation

All Aucklanders are encouraged to exercise caution when visiting local parks and sports fields, as they have been affected by the flood. For your safety, Aucklanders should not play in floodwaters as this water could be contaminated.

Travel across Auckland

Travel with care, as many roads remain closed and disruptions to public transport services continue.

People are advised to allow extra time for travel and check https://at.govt.nz/weatherwatch to see how their journey might be impacted.

Storm clean-up

15 different sites will be open to accepting any of your storm-related debris. Check this website to find the closest to you: https://www.makethemostofwaste.co.nz/…/auckland-waste…
