I already do....except most still don't get it and I can't exactly create an extra lane for them to pass in the face of oncoming traffic if there isn't room. It's the other reason for slowing down....they can get past alot quicker in a shorter distance. Problem then averted.	legod (4626)

Every bloody time I drive up to the Coromandel or Northland I see problems with Auckland drivers....quite often those with a bit of money, often towing boats or driving 4x4s/V8s - they think they own the road and think no-one else has the right to be in their way.	legod (4626)

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 I see a lot of crazy stuff on the road and many dangerous pieces of driving and yet in 8 years of driving New Zealand roads I have yet to make contact or have another vehicle make contact. Either it is luck or just being a better more defensive (avoiding) driver to prevent accidents. The action of causing an avoidable accident just makes you no better than the person who is tailgating.	coldfront (15814)
1152762	2010-11-19 04:34:00	Either it is luck or just being a better more defensive (avoiding) driver to prevent accidents. Agreed - unfortunately most drivers here lack any sort of anticipation...ie. reading the road ahead. Just today I had someone pull out on me at an intersection (50k zone) without looking...fortunately I trust no-one at intersections and managed to second guess them. First time I've had to test out the ABS on my new car though. But it's that sort of situation that made me think 'had someone been tailgating me, they just would have gone straight up my ass and there's nothing I could have done'.	legod (4626)

1152765	2010-11-19 20:37:00	Isn't it dangerous to take photos while driving? It is actually not illegal to take a photo whilst driving, unless you crash . Unlike Cellphone use . But the assumption that the driver was aiming and concentrating on focusing of a camera to take those shots is also misguided . Be careful of your accusations when evidence like that is shown . A guy who thought he could get away and deny overtaking a bus on a dangerous corner on yellow lines, came unstuck when he wanted to challenge the ticket . The bus driver had a cheap dick smith purchased digi cam mounted on his dashboard with 8gb memory :punk Modern technology means smaller easier to conceal mount cameras . You can even mount a video camera on your head so small not to be noticed . The days of that just being in spy movies has gone! Big bro is watching you cuzzie :devil	coldfront (15814)
1152766	2010-11-20 07:20:00	Isn't it dangerous to take photos while driving? truck cam....... records everything, cameras fixed and pre focused, no user input required. don't worry the police asked the same thing ;) these are getting quite common now. you can also tap into existing reversing cam. i understand there is quite a few cars running around auckland with the similar systems. crash cameras are a lot more common and extremely common in the USA.	tweak'e (69)
