Well I just can't believe it, on my way to and from Countdown I have just come across the best of New Zealand. No I am not delusional for once, No there is no trace of last nights alcohol, it is after all lunch time, there is a substantial amount of traffic on the roads, I have taken up my usual defensive driving position, both hands on the wheel, white knuckles showing, alert and coiled like a spring ready for evasive action, and what do I find New Zealand drivers, driving, with respect to each other.

Double check I think, yes courtesy, politeness, no blasting off horns for that mistake (anyone can make one) lots of people signaling, making correct maneuvers to the apex of the road, whats this an actual safe distance between cars, cars slowing down to accommodate pedestrians, thoughtfulness, and kindness, look over there, someone offering there parking spot to another motorist, people giving way, no amber gamblers at the traffic lights, no speeding, no drunk drivers or "P" heads. No taxis cutting you up or parking in the middle of the road, can I actually believe courteous bus drives signaling as they enter traffic................................ Drinnnnnnng Drinnnnnnng Drinnnnnng......... that damn alarm needs to be quieter, will awaken the whole street, Oh well another day another dollar.
