Is Christchurch NZ's self-confessed, self-flagellating dangerous driving capital?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

From columnist Mike Yardley:

OPINION: You may recall that last year Christchurch residents trashed the standard of driving in the city in the Quality of Life Survey.

No other major city blasted the prevalence of substandard driving quite like Christchurch.

We seem to be the self-confessed, self-flagellating dangerous driving capital of New Zealand.

I wouldn’t be surprised if next month’s annual survey results see Christchurch retaining its grip on that inglorious title.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
