Mind you the roads are a bl**dy disgrace with all the repairs going on. Lurking. |

I got them all right but seeing the cyclist in my rear vision mirror had me worried. I had to stop and think before making the decision on who gives way. I guess that over the next few weeks a lot of people will stop and think before making the turn. |

Years ago when Masterton introduced a one way system, several weeks later I came around a corner on my bike to find someone going the wrong way. Got the adrenalin moving a bit. |

When Wellington introduced a one-way system in the CBD while I had the misfortune to be working there, a bus collided with a milkman's truck just before dawn on the first or second day. They were both going the wrong way. |

| 1265078 | 2012-03-18 01:47:00 | :confused: They were breaking fundamental rules of physics and going counterclockwise in a toroidal vortex. Also that eDrive website appears to have reworked IE's logo. Seems the only vaguely useful thing I have ever seen the IE logo on! |

| 1265079 | 2012-03-18 04:01:00 | This is how you reduce road accidents..not with a simple road rule change -Drivers must to resit their license after 5 or 10 years : this would weed out many bad drivers & bad habits. -Any minor infringement also results in being forced to resit the licence :eg causing a nose to tail (or any) accident, running red light, driving a car with expired WOF , towing a trailer without a WOF or lights, using a mobile or reading when driving .( Yes, I still see drivers blatantly reading when driving ) ... thus making it really inconvenient by forcing a re-license for those getting caught .That would be more of a deterrent than a fine. :thumbs: When they do something stupid like drink driving, speeding etc they should be made to work in the hospital helping people who have been in car accidents. That works pretty well apparently. |

| 1265080 | 2012-03-18 06:47:00 | 14/14 simple, is it cheating If I recognised the roads from here in Hamilton? I know they just did it to test our knowledge but the cyclist turning left was totally unrealistic, new rules or old at an intersection like that 99% of cyclists would just go round on the left and not even get in the cars way. Plus pulling out into the centre of the lane on a bike to turn left is just crazy. |
