RIDNZ specialises in human factor road safety research and criminal behaviour

Impaired driving relates to a multitude of behaviours that have negative effects for road safety in New Zealand. RIDNZ identifies with the maxim ‘we drive as we live’. Our research seeks to not only improve the safety on New Zealands roads but also to effect positive change for all. We believe that innovation, technology and compassion are key to these endeavours.
