Okay,number 16,I was a waiter & used to put on my shoes & socks while doing 120kph down the motorway & get the laces tied up too,all before I got off the motorway.

Thats when I had a old Escort.

I will be driving through Auckland tomorrow so great timing with these tips. Number 23 just comes naturally so I have nothing to learn there!

lol @ #9.i slowed down at an accident and a cop was waveing ppl past yelling "come on!.don't slow down!"(real grumpy look on his face) as i crawled past i yelled out "the speed limit past an accident is 20 km/hr doofus!" he just stared at me and to this day he probably still hasn't read the road code

You forgot that, if you are a woman in the Eastern suburbs, it doesn't matter if you use two car parks when you are out shopping, coffeeing.

Dare I say that #24 is watch out for out of town drivers who can't handle driving in heavy traffic!

1,4 & 20 are not auckland drivers but how an auckland driver can identify out of towners in the big city. 8 is incorrect, the red breakdown lane on the side of the motorway is a great way to get somewhere fast during rush hour. 18 can be improved immensely by wearing sunglasses, they'll extend your line of sight(true)

Keep left unless passing doesn't apply in Akld. When the person in front is doing 80 in a 100 pull out into the next lane, get alongside and just sit in that lane doing the same speed.Double bonus if there are three or four lanes and between you and the other drivers you are successful in blocking all the lanes for those behind wanting to do the speed limit.
