Oh yes Wellington is shocking for that - worse than Auckland even.

One thing that I've been noticing as more and more taxi drivers choose hybrids is how damn slowly they move off from the lights. Busy watching the fancy fuel economy displays I guess.

Taxis work on distance/time figure it out mate.And assuming hes not taking you on a tiki tour the only variable he can change is the time especially when things are slow.

well, i saw a typical kiwi driver today. lights turned green and they sat there for a few seconds before driving off to reach the maximum speed of 40kph. came to the next set of lights that turned orange, which they could have easily stopped at, but no, they went through the intersection which when halfway through, they turned red

Hey what fool go on the green nowdays with out looking for a red light runner!Maybe you.

nothing like scaring the bejesus out of the red light runner if you see them coming. catching one of them makes my day, the look on their face, priceless.

Noticing a lot more of the 'iPause' in Chch myself, the old playing on your phone while at the red - then beep, youre off - thats an ipause

Ha ha

Make it illegal, but people will still play on their knee out of sight

I do not punch hard as the light goes green, paddle like crazy to the next set of lights then do it all again and again
I'll wait until I'm sure I can drive on - atthe speed I wish to achieve in the time I wish to achieve it, in fact there's many a time when I have an irritating idjut under the rear bumper that I slow down even more, just to p**s him off - this works real well in wangas, single lane each side, streets, I've even been known to come to a complete stop in the middle of the lane while mum exits the car - sometimes I'll even hop out and wander round to open her door for her, the more toots means I have more to wave to, and I cannot just leave those toots un-answered can I

FFS, read your comments above, take a chill pill, de-stress your lives or just go commit suicide, there is no need for anyone to get so worked up about the speed someone else drives at, fast or slow
write a letter, address it to who ta fk cares nowhere town never never land, on the offchance such a place exists I'm reasonable sure the recipient will respond in the nature required, pin it on the shithouse door for later use

Skin . its gotta be something in the water up there.

skin1235, Jul 8, 1:59am
close to choosing weapons of choice and meet at dawn stuff, over how fast or slow another driver reacts,
if it wasn't so humorous it would be sad, are they just blowing smoke or do they really get this intense north of the bombays

icemans1, Jul 8, 1:59am
there were NO red light runners in that first intersection, richard head

hornnett, Jul 8, 2:08am
And so then you proceed through the lights then,all the time looking at the very angry man behind who is now seconds behind in theirtrip to mcdonalds.Its all pretty simple really do you want me to draw you a diagram.

icemans1, Jul 8, 2:31am
,,I,,

hornnett, Jul 8, 2:34am
So was the playground fun!and those happy meals are to die for.

icemans1, Jul 8, 2:36am
you're starting to bore me now richard head

hornnett, Jul 8, 2:41am
And here i was thinking you didnt get it,wasnt very unkind of me thinking that you were what shall we call it.slow

bwg11, Jul 8, 2:52am
See this more and more on the open road. Watching the real time display and slowing to 70 - 80 kph on hills, afraid to put the boot in incase it costs. Now, to show my predudices, usually bearded sandal wearers in small new Euro diesels.

I take off slowly from the lights, but still faster then the cage drivers lol

I love the muppets who creep forwards the entire time the light is red, like it's gonna help change the colour sooner.and when it changes at last, they take 2-3 seconds to click on to the fact, and get the car in gear etc lol
