Brake is a newly established New Zealand branch of a Road Safety charity. Brake NZ is a not-for-profit New Zealand Trust and part of the Brake Charity, an international charity funded by donations from individuals, companies, and grant givers.
Brake exists for a simple reason – because every 30 seconds someone, somewhere in the world, is killed in a road crash. Road deaths and injuries, the misery they cause, and the pollution of our planet by vehicles, is a shameful global epidemic that must end.
Brake’s priority is to stamp out dangerous driving and unnecessary use of vehicles that plagues communities, spreading fear, and causing death and injury.
Brake’s website says “We believe people whose lives have been devastated by a death or serious injury on the road are the forgotten victims, and need expert and sensitive support to give them the best chance of recovery. We provide this support”.
