garbage collection at peak office hours causes traffic chaos

Salima from Goodwood Heights

if you have seen the garbage collection trucks on the road at peak office traffic hours, please log into auckland council's website and ask them to change the time. i am regularly stuck with a few hundred cars near redoubt road as the truck goes from one bin to the next, at 6.40 am . i have informed auckland council about the problem. if many people complain, the council might consider our request.

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! 😱
