1367870	2014-02-19 09:46:00	I love it when someone speeds past me when I am perhaps speeding. I prefer to let them go so that at least when a traffic cop pulls them over will be too busy to worry about me. It pays to not be the fastest motorist on the road.	Bobh (5192)

Come to Christchurch and try Brougham Street and it's right turning peel-offs', it's diabolical, although over the last two weeks the right turn arrow gets three/four vehicles to turn right. Great place Napier, had a couple of girl friends up there when I was a lad. Lurking. Yes, they made some changes about a year ago so where you come to turn right their is 3 lanes.....

I'm not going to fight all the traffic entering and exiting the motorway and changing lanes all over the place just to allow those of you who feel entitled to speed exclusive use of the right hand lane. I think it's important to make the distinction between a road with passing lanes and a multi lane road designed to cater for high traffic flow. I've had rude gestures sent my way, people tailgating me, old ladies waving me over to the left lane. I don't care, inconsiderate is expecting me to get out of your way when I'm already exceeding the speed limit. I'm perfectly entitled to use a lane and think the Idea that you can impede traffic when at the speed limit or above is ludicrous. All I can impede is the attitude of entitlement some speeders seem to have. On the other hand if traffic is relatively light and there's no obstacle to using the left hand lane then you should, that's just common sense (as well as law). But its not up to you to guide my max speed....If say I needed to get to the hospital in a hurry or perhaps save the world, do you still think its up to you to block my speed because you are doing the limit?

The lanes are for the use of everyone not just people who want to speed . I'm not going to inconvenience myself for the sake of someone who want's to break the law . If I'm cruising along at 100kms/h and you want to pass - NewsFlash!! you're not allowed to . If you think that's inconsiderate I'd ask why you think you have the right to break the Law and why it's my Job to let you, you're the one who wants to speed, you're the one who can go around . It's not like I'm suggesting hogging the lane at 80kms/h when there are 2 empty lanes to my left, I'm saying when it's busy and it's easier for me to stay in the right lane I will . Also not an Aucklander, just had to visit regularly in a previous Job . Just to reiterate what the others have said Dugi . . . . . you are a twat . . . . Sir!	SolMiester (139)

Highlighted: That's how I got away with doing 120 in a 50. 30 odd years ago, no cell phones late at night out to get some takeaways- had a mate and his VERY pregnant girlfriend in the Van - all of a sudden - all hell broke lose in the back -- That kid decide it was coming early - simply floored it to Hutt hospital, got pulled over (More like forced over) by a cop, he said whats the hurry, this had better be good -- the girl in the back yelled out I'm having a baby a***hole, He looked and turned white as a ghost :D --- follow me-- police escort to Hospital -- Made it -- Just :xmouth: Cop said I'll let you off this time since you were so close to the hospital.	wainuitech (129)
1367875	2014-02-20 02:02:00	Just to reiterate what the others have said Dugi.....you are a twat....Sir! I'd suggest people who resort to such unnecessary insults show their own lack of character rather than highlighting any lack in mine. You are welcome to disagree with me, the rest is not welcome. As for your comments regarding me restricting your speed - I'm not the law is. I'm sure you've had to break it for legitimate reasons hundreds of times in your life but I never have. If however someone with a genuine emergency came up behind me I'm sure by use of the many warning devices on a vehicle such as horn, lights, hazard lights, etc they could make it known to me and I'd get out of the way. I'm not deliberately trying to hold anyone up, I'm just using a lane that I'm perfectly entitled to. Wainui's example is legit and quite uncommon.	dugimodo (138)
