Dangerous Driver
This morning at 8.30am my hubby and I were driving along Effingham Street when a silver sedan, travelling east along Tedder Avenue came through the stop sign at 100k/ph!!!! We stopped and watched it carry on east down Tedder towards the beach. Had my gate not stuck this morning and caused me a few extra seconds stuffing about with it, I think that both myself, my love and the driver of that car would be dead. I just want to say to that person, that if you are local I’m going to comb the streets until I find your car, I’m going get your rego number and I’m going to ask the police to pay you a visit. You are a menace!!!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
