| 1152742 | 2010-11-17 05:05:00 | well in contrast yesterday i had two cars come around the corner on the wrong side, both easily went back to the correct side well before it would have been dangerous. they are only cutting the corners because they are lazy. and today had a car try to overtake after the passing lane finished and very nearly smashed up my rear. it looked like it had waitomo lodge written on the number plate. again probably because they where lazy and didn't read the lane closes here sign. |

Doesn't give them a reason to do it though. Being lazy can kill people. |

They are not lazy! They just do not think of the consequences of the actions they undertake. Cutting a corner is fine if A, No other vehicles/traffic (motorised or not), on the road b, you can clearly see a safe distance in the direction or what could cause a problem for your action. You got to be really dumb to cut a corner when it puts you in the path of other traffic or you are unable to see beyond a safe distance. As for your near miss rear ender well thats another of the dummies who can not judge speed and distance perception and do not think. That same person probably escapes their notice when they come up behind a cyclist or find any type of obstruction in the road and can not think earliy enough if they drop a few ks they may pass more safely. But know they have to either slam on the brakes, hit the object or most likely position themselves across the centreline forcing oncoming traffic to swerve in avoidance. Just find the other dummie who wonders what to do in that situation and the recipe for head on collision is perfect. |

A passenger said a 18yr old guy was driving this 1980s Ford Falcon on the middle of 2 lanes. Makara is rural 15min from urban (can be). Well I could just push my car to the side .. what else could I do? Then he goes past, see ya later mate, you go kid. :rolleyes: when i did more skiing last year, they cut blindside corners on the highway doing over a hundred. |

| 1152746 | 2010-11-18 06:25:00 | well bugger, a car did the same damn thing in the exact same spot! they couldn't be bothered passing on the passing lane so they wait till the end, boot it and pass through the merge section. then the bugger drives slow and i pass it (without going over 100km/h) on the next passing lane. i203.photobucket.com the other day. i203.photobucket.com i203.photobucket.com |

| 1152747 | 2010-11-18 09:25:00 | anyone watch "Crash Course" tonight? giving out tickets for tailgating. what a joke, thats purely done for TV. if they actually did that on a daily basis they would get their "quota" super fast ! |

| 1152748 | 2010-11-18 18:40:00 | Other than cyclists pedalling thru red light and people who do not stop at stop signs, tailgaters really piss me off. I have a zero tolerance for them and just apply brakes and let them crash into the towbar. Once I had a tailgater going up a hill all I did was lift my foot from the gas pedal and they smashed into the towbar |
