It's a good way to avoid paying for a speeding ticket "My dog was driving officer."

That wont improve the standard of driving in Auckland, or anywhere.

I once heard a small-minded prat from a small northland town spouting on about Auckland drivers. He claimed to know how to fix the traffic congestion problem:. "You see, what happens is, when one guy at the front of a queue brakes, then other people behind him all brake as well, and this causes traffic to bank up." (I felt like saying so what should we do! Refrain from braking, and smash into them instead!) He was deadly serious, by the way. "And then" he went on, "when the traffic moves off again, people leave gaps between their cars" (I felt like saying, so we should all travel 100mm away from each others' bumpers! Car traffic does not behave like a train!) But you can't argue with idiots like this, best to let them come and try their theories out for themselves. But i sure had to do some tongue-biting that day!

I tend to agree with you but I do think that some congestion is caused by people at the front of the queue are unprepared to move when the light goes green.Small delays can multiply.Otherwise, spot on!

Yes thanks, you've just hit one of my pet peeves! People who dawdle when the light goes green, and 3, 4, 5 cars at the tail end miss out on the green because of them. Green light = quickly check both ways, then move off briskly to help get as many cars as possible through on the green!

White Kiwis seem to be in more of a hurry often - especially out of town. The road is a race track mentality. Plenty of New New Zealanders who go through Red Lights though.

impatience is the problem with nz driving that is the reason they pass when vehicles are coming , speed , run red lights, fail to give way,you only have to see them on the motorway jump from lane to lane and back again just to get a little bit ahead .
