Sorry for the topic & the posting, but there is a point read on,
Lets see there are about one million people living in Auckland, all day long on a Auckland Radio station "MoreFM" there are reports of road accidents, fine weather, wet weather it makes no difference, the accidents keep on coming in and updates every 15 minutes.
I was in Sydney while there was a bus strike, I was really impressed, one car from the main road would stop and let one car in from the side street, then that car from the main road would go and then another car in from a side street, exactly like a "zip" zipping up. Try doing that in Auckland, get real you would either get tooted at, are some "gay driver" would ram you, trying to get up your exhaust pipe, in fact Auckland has a lot of gay drivers trying get up your exhaust pipe.
I can recall one day when I was out doing home TV repairs, following a car that stopped at a round about, I had to make a panic stop, the joker in front stopped for no reason, not because there was anyone on the roundabout on his right but because he stopped there was someone on his left, not a lot of driver in Auckland know the "right hand rule"
But anyway, how does this compare with the accidents rate in other cities,
