You Auckland dwellers sure seem to get some mad traffic-related stuff compared to us and I thought it was bad enough round here!

As an Aucklander, I was thinking the same thing about Wellington. They're everywhere. Be careful out there!

Just had a guy get all road ragey on me coming back from M10 with essential landscape supplies. I was driving at the speed limit, correctly indicating, etc, but he decided he needed to be somewhere in a hurry so at the next set of lights he wound down his window a yelled abuse. So much for the PM’s call to be kind to each other.

If he’s like that now I pity his family after being cooped up for a month.

Thanks for asking. :-)

After 2 weeks, the car is now with the repairers in Tauranga. They've been composing an estimate for repairs for AA Insurance to consider. That was to be done this week and hopefully a decision made. But I got a call this morning (Tuesday) to notify me they are shuting down for 4 weeks. So unless that changes I won't know if the car is being repaired or written off until near the end of April.

The good news is the repairer thinks the car is probably fixable..... But.....a month before I know either way.

Meanwhile, I've pulled my 30kWh LEAF back from sale via Drive EV in Taupo....and I'm driving it. It's not the Tesla, but it's more than good enough during a 4 week lockdown. I charge it at home from solar for no marginal cost (a.k.a. "free").
