Watch: 2020 equal-deadliest year for motorcyclists in New Zealand in 25 years.
2020 was the equal-deadliest year for motorcyclists on New Zealand roads in 25 years.
That's the grim picture from the Ministry of Transport's provisional data that reveals 57 riders and passengers didn't make it home last year.
It goes down as the equal-most deadly year since 1995 when 78 motorcyclists were killed on roads.
Sergeant Peter Sowter of the Wellington serious crash unit says the figures make for poor reading.
"Breaks my heart in some ways when I'm reading the files to see that it just needs a small adjustment in attitude, a small adjustment in speed," he says.
