Car Crash on Verbena Road
Well, it has happened, again. A car crash around the corner from Lymington Castle. This isn't the first time there has been a crash on this stretch of road either. I've spoken to my neighbour, whose car was unfortunately hit by the speeding driver.
This is the 4th time a car belonging to his family has been hit. This particular incident was so bad, that his parked car was sent flying 3 houses down the street. Thank god no one was injured. You can only imagine what would have happened if there were pedestrians caught up in the crash!
The reckless driver did a runner, but hopefully the police will catch up with them.
One silver lining from this crash was that I met 3 more neighbours and invited them to join Neighbourhood Support for our street. Neighbourhood Support works to keep neighbourhoods safer by keeping us in touch with our neighbours. If you live on Verbena Road and are keen to join, do let me know! =)
This incident brings to mind again my previous posts about maniacs on the road, reckless, aggressive driving and speeding around housing areas.
Hopefully something can be done, like speed bumps on Verbena road or traffic islands.

Poll: Are domestic flights with Air NZ out of your budget?
A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.
Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?
-
95.6% Yes, it's too expensive
-
3.8% No, it's reasonable
-
0.6% Other - I'll share below

What does ANZAC day mean to you?
ANZAC Day is a time to reflect, remember, and honour those who served.
It’s also a powerful reminder of the impact of war and the courage of those who stood for something greater than themselves.
We're interested to hear what ANZAC Day means to you and your whānau, and about any special traditions you follow each year.
