Get road ready for winter

Is your car ready for winter? If not, you can get it checked over for free in time for the upcoming school holidays and the winter season.

We're running a car safety check up this weekend where you can make sure your car is up to standard.

Road safety coordinator Dianna Harrison said it's important we check our vehicles regularly to ensure they're safe.

"Sometimes it's hard to know if indicators and brake lights are working correctly, if your tyres are at the right pressure or need replacing or if you've got some hidden rust patches. We've got a range of experts who will be on hand to ensure your car is safe and ready to roll for the school holidays and cooler months," she said.

>> Head down to Countdown Taupo on Saturday 1 April from 10am to 2pm for your free car safety check.
