Subject: Official Information request - Vehicle safety rating labels -
vulnerable users factored in?

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

Motor vehicle traders get behind safety rating label- today you announced
safety ratings for vehicles.

Given the rapid rise in DSIs for vulnerable users outside of vehicles
please advise 1. How safety for people not in the vehicle is factored in
to this system - vulnerable users like pedestrians and cyclists.

2. How the weighting system for the final score works and how the weight
of risks to  people outside the vehicle are assessed.

3, Does NZTA recognise that vulnerable users outside of vehicles need
added protection and that these vehicle ratings might influence that, as
well as choices made by vehicle buyers.

4. Are NZTA advocating for effective engineering controls (rather than
these sorts of administrative controls these vehicle safety ratings are),
such as geo fencing, speed limiters, geo fenced speed controls - for
vehicles to make a meaningful dent in the worsening DSI stats for
Aotearoa?

 

Thanks

 

Yours faithfully,

Adam Parkinson
