He's made some good points. Mortensen seems to be an intelligent actor. My o/h thinks the Hobbit is unwatchable and completely different from the first one

The latest witch hunt seems to be tourists and rotten Johnny Foreigners killing people on New Zealand's roads - some of the most ridiculous suggestions would mean y'all gonna have to take a driving test before passing through Immigration, MAF and Customs.

I know. I've swung between outrage and incredulity with this, given the abysmal everyday driving standards here , the lack of compulsory insurance and the non-requirement for professional lessons.

It's unbelievable, the vitriol and bile being aimed ; I really feel for these people:

Our crash in January was caused by a young, Kiwi lad, playing with his radio rather that watching where he was driving. He could have killed us. Thankfully because of OH's actions & the fact that there was a bank stopping us from rolling, we walked away.

OH is still angry about it & has been even angrier this week, with the "blame it on the tourist" 'campaign'.

Whilst back in England in April, I felt much safer driving around than I ever do here. In driving 1000 miles in 20 days I only saw 2 drivers making dangerous manoeuvres whereas I see at least that many a day here.
