When did you last check your fire hydrant? The fire service isn't.

Reporter Western Leader

Firefighters used to check every hydrant in the city but they haven't for the past three years due to health and safety rules . . . they're asking the public to keep them clear and to report to Watercare if they need fixing, or if a yellow triangle is missing on the road.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
