Overtaking on congested roads, speeding and taking unnecessary risks are some of the reasons police are giving for this Easter's high road toll.

Seven people have been killed in crashes over the long weekend. Four people died on State Highway 8 in Pukaki, while another three died in crashes in Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Tasman.
