Foggy

Well now, I must be losing something in the translation, so let me get this right. It's foggy so as I am driving along other car users have their fog lamps on, seems reasonable, fog, fog lamps, fog, fog lamps Ok I think I have it.


So why is it that on any given night there are any number of idiots driving around with fog lamps all lit up and there is no fog...doh.

The problem yet again is that the driving standards are poor; they obviously are blind to the fact that fog lights are high intensity lights designed to cut through dense fog and allow other road users to see you, thus avoiding accidents and when used in the correct context they perform there function well.

However, when used outside of being a foggy night they blind oncoming drivers, with high beams, creating yet another hazard on the roads.

Pity these people get a driving licence so easily, one day they might have to read the road code, nah that as the potential of making NZ a safer place, so that's not going to happen.

Moving House

Well folks, I have been out of the loop for a couple of weeks, so big apologises, I have been moving house and it proved to be just as stressful as driving to work.

Thanks to the guy in the BigHorn, who almost ran me off the road this morning, so you are in a truck, thats does not give you any extra rights to be an idiot.

So lets get back up to speed. Steven Joyce, well known memeber of parliament and minister of everything, announces that the driving laws are to change next year, so lets see what those changes amount to in terms of saving lives.................. Er, nothing really, more banging drums and kicking up a fuss than sensible policy making.

Oh it can be argued that one life saved was worth the effort, but I am not sure that raising the driving age to 16 and banning drink driving if you are under 20 years of age will have any impact at all.

Now banning draink driving right across the board may have made a difference, but thaen spinless politicians would never really get serious about saving lives, but it does look like he has done something, to stem the slaughter that is New Zealands roads.

However the give way rule, is the dumbest law currently on the staute book and showed be repealed, well done Mr Joyce, at last you have somewthing right.
