Em..... there's nowhere in this country with a speed LIMIT more than 100km - and there's a 10k leeway. You were doing 16k over the limit - what did you expect?

Not that I don't agree with the views on NZ driving standards 'n all but to just plough straight on in without so much as a Hi and Bye is a bit on the unusual side shall we say. Had a few of those of late. HHmm .

Welcome to BE and hope you find the time to post all sorts of help, advice and support to the site.
Unusual - why? this is an internet messageboard, not a dinner party.
I am a Pom who is a permanently resident in NZ and has been for 5 years.

SH1 in Wellington was the road. Oh for a motorcycle cop when the boy racers are out in force.

I expect I was going too fast, but I was driving safely, not like the idiots I witness every day, even in my own cul-de-sac. 116kph is about 73mph, hardly a frightening speed on a straight empty dual carriageway.

Yes, but you haven't been to one of the BE members dinner parties

Have you even had a virtual drink at the vitual BE Kiwi bar

Try it sometime, it is serious adventure, you know the kinda stuff only New Zealand can offer

You sitting down dude? I agree with you on this one.

I took little one to ballet a few weeks back and i heard this gradual thud thud thud getting closer, till it pulled up alongside me in the car park. We were about 15 minutes early for the class, but there he sat playing this really loud music, and his little daughter was sat on the back seat all this time. I really felt for her. The bass was rattling my car let alone what it was doing to her ears.

And YES - that case of the guy 'flicking' his son's ear to correct him for something he did to his sibling. Arrested on the spot by an off duty copper wasnt he? Barmey.

Hey DF,

I fell over

Just wait till you’ve been in NZ a bit longer and you have used up all your genie wishes

You may have to sign off BE and sign back on again under a new nick…..

Snapper & $2 chips maybe

PS: The same dude ruining his babies ears will go home and put his ear protectors (Muffs) on to cut the grass.

See ya on the flip-side
