'''SAFETY WARNING'''
Approximately halfway between Kaikoura and Christchurch is the small town of Cheviot. The highway between Cheviot and Waipara has a high number of serious car crashes primarily due to drivers falling asleep. This area of north Canterbury is very dry and hot especially in summer and in cars without Air Conditioning driver drowsiness is a real problem (esp if they've non-stop driven from Picton or Nelson). Stay awake yourself - watch your driver for signs of drowsiness. Suggest a "leg stretching" stop at Cheviot or Hurunui River.
This is a serious and real problem that I have experienced myself as a driver and remedied by taking a dip in the Hurunui River. [[User:Luna1|Luna1]]
