worst/frightening driving
Whats the worst/frightening bit of driving you've seen in NZ. We see lots every time we drive to Auckland.
We were heading north on the motorway the other day Just after Auckland Harbour Bridge & saw a car full of teenage lads weeving between all 4 lanes going at a speed of about 110-120kmh, as you see on movie car chases. The last move we saw them make was between 2 cars & they had to actually drive diagonally between them, it was that tight!!! Scary!

Drive behind me, I'll scare you to death!! Or drive in front of me on the fast lane of the motorway below speed limit...scarier! Until you've seen me drive, you ain't seen nothing! Just got a rental car for the trip to the airport, a brand new Vauxhall Zevira (?), a real 'soccermom' sort of car. I've had it one day and it STINKS!! The tyres are shredded, the clutch is buggered. I'm like a boy racer. Only I'm not young and I'm not male!!

Re: worst/frightening driving
Oh this post is gonna go down well
When we were on our recce that thing that got me most was how aggressive the female drivers were. They were horrendous
Im sure most of them thought they were in a NASCAR race

Re: worst/frightening driving
i actually ran a bloke off the road. i was driving a focus automatic. i saw an opportunity to overtake this old chap, pressed my foot to the floor so that the gears kicked down - (engine makes an orgasmic grunting when you do that) - of course this noise of a revving engine must have scared the living shit out this bloke cos he swung over into the 'parking lane' kicking up gravel rocks plants and debris all up into the air, onto our roof and bonnet and the dudes behind us. He looked pale as a tin of dulux when we drove past - swear he was having a coronary there and then.
i wasnt proud.

Re: worst/frightening driving
When i visited NZ i was following a flat bed truck that had a collision damaged car unsecured on the back, as we were driving along the bumper, bonnet and a door blew off of the back and nearly wiped us off the face of the earth......the debris hit several cars behind us...the truck never stopped.........

You know, a Mommy's car, adopted from the yanks, the ones that drive their kids to school, soccer practice, etc. Real housewifey types. The car is great for space (I have two kids). But I still can't get out of my sporty car stage. I keep having these great ideas, I'll get a motorbike or, I would love one of the old Porsches, and hubby has to keep reminding, 'where will the kids go?' DOH!

Listen here you!!!!
If you bl**dy men didn't think it was your god given right to be at the front of every bl**dy queue on every road in the land, then us bl**dy women would not feel the urge to hunt you down and give you the bird!!!!
My MIL, who is 64, and drives a Jaguar ( Mrs Bucket the 2nd!!) gave some bloke the bird the other day cos he thought that she was a sweet little old lady who wouldn't say boo to a goose, which is usually true until some t****er tries to run her off the roundabout & then she turns into Ma Baker!!!!
