We see the police hard at it on Waikato roads. pulling up idiots who seem to drive as if it is their day on earth.

Waikato region is as bad as it gets at the moment. There is a bit of a push on to bring the toll down.

It used to be a lot worse before the north Waikato Expressway was built.
Why do you think the toll is so high? Do you need to dob more people in for their bad driving? Drink? Drugs? Or, just people passing through from other regions?

Send a few round this neck of the woods. Every day I see courier drivers talking on their phones, and women texting while sitting at traffic lights. Definitely the worst two demographics.
Meanwhile, all the other dopey ones are doing 35kph side by side in both lanes on SH1 through town.

The other day at the taupiri roundabout some bellend was tailgating my motorbike all the way from near huntly and when he got to the roundabout flew up the right hand lane then cut back in front of me in the left lane and stood on the brakes to try scare me but he was too close so landed up ducking down the left hand side of him which made him infuriated and he kept moving over on me. Landed up cranking it wide open and slipping through.
He kept dogging the back of me so I opened it up a bit to get rid of him and his angry swipes at me and a cop pinged me for 115. I was pretty annoyed, lesson learned, next time I'll have to make sure I'm going over a tonne and not stop.

I had a car do this twice because I would not exceed the speed limit in the outside lane. I got the number and had him prosecuted.I could have had him stopped if I had called 111 as there was a cop just up there road. daryl drinking again

NZ roads are no worse in the main than anywhere else and a damn site better than they deserve to be, with just 4 million people.
Auckland does not have a planned roading system suitable for its sprawl and 1 million people.
As you age (mature?), you realise that there are some aggressive nutters who shouldn't be on the road. Just ease off and let them go.

why would you just sit in the outside lane, doesn't the road code state on dual lane roads, to keep left unless overtaking. or are you one of these self appointed hallway monitors that sits out there to try and ensure nobody goes over 100km/h If that's your deal you are both an idiot and as big a problem as speeders

Texting/ using facebook/ twitter/ whatsapp/ instagram etc while driving. Drink and drugs are also significant, but I have so many people blatantly using phones, tablets and once even a laptop while driving that its clear that this is why the road toll is going up. Speed is incidental, may make the crashes worse but is not now the primary cause
