    Police are renewing calls for patience on the roads this holiday period, warning lives are at risk


    Fifteen people were killed in crashes between Christmas Eve and early January last summer.

    The toll has topped 11 for five consecutive years.

    He says that risk taking causes carnage on too many occasions.
