Geez just went and picked the wife up from work before, struck one idiot who wouldn't go on their right of way, struck another that went when I had right of way and almost t-boned me and another that went straight through a give way and narrowly missed me collecting him! Some driver's need to wake up a bit. Or maybe I need to drink less before I drive anywhere. Thoughts!
Geez *you're*

Invercargill isn't particularly large, but I believe I read somewhere that we have the highest rate of intersection crashes in NZ (per head of population)

I drove into the drivers side of a guy who decided not to give way on a roundabout last Friday in my GT Corolla. Wasn't at all happy.

It's nice as long as your job is secure, but no problems here.
The town is Hunterville, population 400 odd (incuding all the rural areas within a 20km radius). 45 minutes from Palmerston North and Wanganui.

I walk to work everyday, might as well save on money when I'm 10 minutes from work, and don't have to put up with the retards!

Yeah, same here. But, I only take my car to work when I'm on call. It's quite funny actually, by the time the auto box selects third gear, I have to slow down to get into the driveway of my work.

Best ailure to give way i ever saw was back in the 70's.Idiot in a Skoda pulled out halfway accross a "T"intersection and then found no where to go.Driver approaching from his right in LWB Land Rover, stopped, engaged 4wd and pushed Skoda sideways a complete block.Apart from some screaming tyres didnt acctually do much damage.Bet that Skoda driver never ever tried that again.Wish I owned a LWB Rover, be worth nothing and oh what fun one could have!

Yes it was immaculate.
He failed to give way, he was coming from my left as I was driving straight ahead. The damage to his drivers side kinda gives away who was at fault.

I love when people don't give way at round-abouts. I always try to get as close to their car as possible. Hopefully the front of my car approaching their door from a couple metres away scares them enough to not do it again lol.

I fitted triple wind tones to my Primera - if they don't give way I close the gap and lean on the horn - damn near gives them a heart attack.One time the guy hit the brakes, stopped on the spot, stalled, and was still there when I was at the end of the street, 100 metres away.I reckon he shit himself when those horns went off.They are bloody LOUD!
