Asleep

To the lady travelling to work today who kept dropping off to sleep, DON'T! Well you can but not around me please, yes the madness continues that is NZ roads. I was travelling to work and through my rear view mirror could see a young lady who when we got to a crawl in traffic was catching 40 winks, not a good look ay?

Still could have been worse, she could have been awake and probably be a bigger danger on the roads, when will people learn, you cant have a two tonne motor car and be reckless.

What is needed is more education and the raising of driving standards after all it is my life, that is at stake.

Muggy

Well the hot steamy. muggy, sub-tropical weather persists over the North Island,. no it's not a weather report, but you would think that such weather conditions may effect the driving mentality of the average Kiwi, unfortunately it hasn't, it's just as crazy as ever out there.

Consider over the past 24 hours, 2 vehicles running the bus lanes, 3 cars using the centre reservation as a private lane. 2 buses who have gone rouge, a 3 car pile up on the Eastern Highway , yes just another day in paradise.

However given that the New Year is well under way and that the weather as been very kind, it remains the same old traffic issues day, after day, after day, after day. one thing is certain though the number of roadworks that have materialised over the past 2 weeks is amazing, the number of detours I have had to take recent as increased substantially. Whilst I would be the first to applaud such an initiative, the problem lies in the fact that the co-ordinating departs are obviously not talking to each other, the result, chaos on the Auckland roads.
