The views on this page reflect the frustrations of a individual living in the nation of New Zealand who can think
beyond the propaganda delivered to the persons of this nation to legalise the revenue collection of these said persons to make them think
that speeding in the reason for the high road toll in this nation and therefore this revenue collection is justified. Any negative
comments about vehicles manufactured in any particular country are only comments about the inability of that country's inhabitants (in
the past?) to make vehicles that handle any better than a bucket of s*** and not of that countries inhabitants! Phew! Got that of my chest!
Car Drivers
Hardly a week goes by in New Zealand without some propaganda about how the road toll must come down or speeding was the cause of a particular accident. What the general public have not waken up to is that this is just a conspiracy to convince them into thinking that SPEED is the cause of most accidents. However, the rigid enforcement has scared some drivers into becoming even more of a pathetic driver than what they were prior, and has done nothing to reduce the bad driving habits of many of New Zealand drivers, some of which many "good"drivers have to speed to avoid. I shall list some of the bad and inconsiderate habits that this sport loving country's drivers are capable of:
#1 "No, you can not pass me driver"
This driver comes in many forms but the most annoying one is surely the passing lane speed increaser! . . . more
JavaScript is a scripting language originally developed by Netscape to add interactivity and power to web documents. It is purely client side, and runs completely on the client's browser and computer.
#2 "I own the whole road driver"
These drivers either do honestly think they do own the whole road or they are just pig ignorant . . . more
Have to add to this -
#3 "What is a rear view mirror driver"
Just what is a rear view mirror for? And for that matter, what are those orange lights on each corner of my car for? . . . more
Have to add to this -
#4 "I dont know what to do here driver"
There are many many forms of this driver. . . . more
Ranging from those who don't know where they are going so they just stop in the middle of the road to those that slow down when crossing the other side of the road.
#5 "I can't pilot a car driver"
I often wonder how many people have got no end to their garage, or find they can't get out of car when they park in their car shed! Why? . . . more
Well, looking around any car park shows that some people cannot park between two white lines. Or go over the border with the opposite facing car park. Like, if people can't place their vehicle correctly at parking speeds, then how the hell can they pilot their vehicle at highway speeds?
I often wonder if the status change of a car from a luxury item, affordable only by the "rich", treasured by the early enthusiast's and garaged when not in use, to the common mode of transport it is today, affordable even by the poor and therefore not garaged at night, has lead to this inability to pilot a car between two lines. After all, if every time you use your car you have to pilot your way out of a car shed, you will get practise at it, and damage your car or shed if you make a mis-judgement!
#6 "I don't want to walk far driver"
You must know this one! There is 3 empty car parks outside the dairy on the way home, or the school when you want to drop the kids off. . . . more
Only problem is the driver in front of you takes the first car park, and you having followed him, thinking that they will move to the front park, stops at the last park. You then have to back up and go around them and move to the front one. Why don't you do what I do? - back up as close to the ignorant driver as close as you can without hitting. Then they will be forced to back up to get out. Mind you, they will be that thick that they won't be able to work out why you have done it!
#7 "I don't like round abouts driver"
Actually, I don't know what to at at roundabout. Do I give way to the left or the right? . . . more
#8 "I don't want to roll driver"
Or do these drivers think they are really cornering like a F1 driver? . . . more
Can this be blamed on the fact that New Zealand has a high percentage of Australian cars?
#9 "I don't STOP when I should driver"
Or do . . . more
These are the thickest of all drivers - PIG lazy !
#10 "I don't want to blow my motor driver"
Or do . . . more
These are the thickest of all drivers - PIG lazy !
#11 "I don't break the speed limit driver"
That's right, they don't break the open road speed limit but . . . more
they don;t sloww down for towns.
#12 "I don't want to blow my motor driver"
Or do . . . more
These are the thickest of all drivers - PIG lazy !
