1254510 2012-01-16 11:18:00 Yep. That too. That was before the MOT took over everything.

Now the Police have everything!!

Yep . And the council traffic departments were the worst example of bureaucratic ****wits that ever prowled the sewers .

Any jumped-up little Hitler that failed the MOT entry test could get a job as a Council Traffic Officer and be the biggest prick he could be to his heart's content .

Every courier in Auckland was happy-happy-joy-joy when the MOT took over from Otahuhu, Mt Albert and Auckland City Councils!!!

1254515 2012-01-16 21:36:00 Those "jumped-up little Hitlers" now have to fight among themselves to get selected by the Epsom/Ellerslie people who rapidly banish them to Wellington (or anywhere). R2x1 (4628)
1254516 2012-01-16 23:38:00 While I agree that these local council traffic operations were all about revenue gathering , just like the council parking officers especially Wellington.. At least if you had an accident you could call the local traffic ops and they were there in 5 minutes not like now where the police are not the slitest bit interested unless someone is killed or maimed.. paulw (1826)
