joker97: There are lots of drivers and tourists here who fail to negotiate bends on our state highway one when sober and dry.
ScuL: The speed limit is probably going to be the absolute hardest adjustment after our pending move to NZ.
With the legal speed limit in the UK being 70mph on motorways, and cops being very lenient where the first 10mph aren't effectively penalised, the average speed on UK motorways is well in excess of 130km/h. On a cheeky late night with little traffic it's absolutely not uncommon to drive between 140~150km/h. I do this on a weekly basis.
Getting to NZ speeds is going to feel like being in some kind of slow warp zone :D
nzkiwiman: Just because the police have fancy cars that have cruise, doesn't mean that we all do.
As a result, I am going to have to travel at 5km/hr under the limit since my 20 year old car probably doesn't have the most accurate speedo any more. In order to keep at this speed, I am going to have to watch the speedo for the entire drive and sit on my brakes as soon as I go over.
I'm going to a) piss myself off and b) piss everyone else off which makes driving no fun.
joker97: is radar detector still legal? i bet someone will start another thread on radar detector soon. and get shot down by a few people, but the thread might be followed with interest
afe66:
Its always amused me how in any driving discussion everyone always claims to be above average drivers and its the others who cause problems...
Safety on our roads
1st December 2014
Commissioner Mike Bush
Ngā mihi. The coverage of our road policing Safer Summer campaign last week has caused some confusion around our strategy. In order to provide clarity, there is no "zero tolerance" strategy. As always, staff will use their discretion when stopping motorists and issuing notices.
Keep calm, and carry on posting.
