The annual road toll could be the lowest recorded in 10 years and potentially the lowest per capita in a century. 

290 people have died on New Zealand roads so far this year, as of 9pm December 29, equating to about five deaths per 100,000 population.

That is down from around seven for most of the last decade.

AA Road Safety Spokesperson Dylan Thomsen talks to Tim Beveridge about this milestone.
