Insurance business AMI has published data revealing the 10 most collision-prone suburbs in New Zealand.

New claims data reveals the most accident-prone suburbs in the country – and East Tamaki makes the list.

Auckland city centre, Christchurch city centre and Henderson have the highest rates of collisions in New Zealand.

Other areas on the top 10 list include Albany, Glenfield, Mount Maunganui, East Tamaki, central Dunedin, Mount Wellington and central Hamilton.

The data revealed that 40 per cent of all collisions take place late in the day, between 1pm and 6pm.

AMI’s executive general manger claims, Wayne Tippet says, “This rush hour period often sees grid lock and agitated driver behaviour.

AMI’s executive general manger claims, Wayne Tippet.

“Traffic can be frustrating, but you should always remain calm and alert to ensure you make smart, responsible decisions.

“Interestingly, the second busiest period for collisions is late morning, which tends to be a much quieter time on the roads.”

Most of those collisions happen in car parks when shoppers are catching the quieter periods.

“We also see many claims during this period where drivers fail to stop or mistake a light as green for their lane. This points to the importance of remaining alert and conscious of safety, even if the roads are quieter,” says Tippet.

“Often the late morning collisions are between drivers who have held a license for more than a decade. Even if you have years of experience on the road, you should never become complacent behind the wheel.”

Friday is the riskiest day of the week on the road, with 16 per cent of all collisions occurring.

Thursday comes in second, followed by Wednesday, Tuesday, Saturday, Monday, and Sunday.

In the event of a collision, AMI recommends drivers:

  • Stop where it is safe to do so and make sure everyone is okay.
  • Exchange details with the other driver including the other driver’s name, their address, phone number, email, licence number, and their vehicle registration number
  • Take photographs of all the damage
  • Check if the other party has insurance and encourage them to lodge a claim also. Take a note of their insurance company if they know it
  • Collect the details of any witnesses
  • Contact your insurer to lodge your claim.
