OT Auckland drivers can not drive for nuts

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 longon a Auckland Radio station "MoreFM" there are reports of road accidents,fine weather, wet weather it makes no difference, the accidents keep oncoming in and updates every 15 minutes.I was in Sydney while there was a bus strike, I was really impressed, onecar 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 aside 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 ramyou, trying to get up your exhaust pipe, in fact Auckland has a lot of gaydrivers trying get up your exhaust pipe.I can recall one day when I was out doing home TV repairs, following a carthat stopped at a round about, I had to make a panic stop, the joker infront stopped for no reason, not because there was anyone on the roundabouton his right but because he stopped there was someone on his left, not a lotof driver in Auckland know the "right hand rule"But anyway, how does this compare with the accidents rate in other cities,

I am not sure what the rule In canberra is but I have driven through Canberra at night and found that pedstrians walk up to the kerb, look you in the eye and then step out in front of you - maybe it is just a suicidal thing from living in Canberra.
