June 2: The important but not emergency numbers you may need

Second of June and we're talking about Emergency contact numbers.
It amazed me that the number for the local police station was so difficult to find that by the time I came across it, buried in the phone book, the need for it was gone.

So what are the important but not emergency numbers you may need in your phone?
Do you have an ICE number in your phone? And whose number will be called?
Are there other important numbers that you store in your phone.

ZERO- Death toll over Queen's Birthday weekend

The Death toll for the Queen’s Birthday weekend sits at zero.

I just want to congratulate all New Zealanders on driving to the conditions or staying put in front of a warm fire with quiet coffee.

The NZHerald article goes into enough detail about previous statistics and woeful tails of sorrow and carnage on previous holidays for me not to have to mention it now.

A thought about driving and the flip side of the major result this weekend is that the next holidays will be filled with much wringing of hands and muttering under the breath, even if there is but a single death on the roads. From Zero the figure can only get worse.

The final point here is a mystery ‘lack of information’. There is much made of the ‘holiday- roadkills’ but what are the figures for the non-holiday periods?

I can’t find them anywhere.
