Totally baffles me why something so simple causes so much confusion. There's no big complicated roundabout with traffic lights, bus lanes or pedestrian crossings like other countries, roundabouts are usually 4 exits/entry ones.
Lets not get started on tailgaters. |

Re: Kiwi drivers
I enjoy driving in New Zealand. When we get a hot Sunday afternoon sometimes dog and I just like to take a little trip to a local river for a swim. I enjoy the gentle gravel roads and listening to some Melvyn Bragg on the radio, dog quite enjoys sticking her head out of the window. We wave at all the country folk as we pass, dog feels the need to show a special alertness at rabbits and possums on the road. There is little more pleasant and relaxing than that soft calling of the rural roads.

Re: Kiwi drivers
Where is Porters 'coffee to go' and his 'mobile phone'. Surely he should have at least one of them in his hand. ;)

Lets not get started on tailgaters. In addition they have the reactions and the road sense of blancmanges. |

In addition they have the reactions and the road sense of blancmanges. Or my favourite, they go 80kmh on single way but as soon as you come to a passing lane, they speed up to 110kmh. |
