Have you always wanted to scooter to work? Now is your chance!
About 600 electric scooters (e-scooters) have been launched in Auckland by California-based company Lime. The scooters can travel at speeds of up to 27kmh and have a maximum range of 48km. But not everyone is impressed, with some calling labeling the scooters as a "menace on footpaths". To read more about them, click here.
What are your thoughts on them? Will you give them a go? Will it be cheaper for you to scooter to work rather than drive and pay for parking? Or do you think they're a hazard for pedestrians? Share you thoughts with us in the replies below!

Crashes in Auckland are causing traffic delays for motorists ahead of Labour Weekend.
Auckland Transport advised motorists to allow extra time for their journeys this morning. A crash at 7.40am along the northwestern motorway was blocking the middle lane eastbound after Newton Rd, the New Zealand Transport Agency said. Footage from traffic cameras showed the speed on the motorway had been reduced to 50kmh.
Tamaki Makaurau Road Policing Manager Inspector Scott Webb says traffic congestion is going to reach peak levels on Friday and Saturday as motorists leave Auckland for the long weekend.
Inspector Webb says three people were killed and eight people were seriously injured on our roads across Tamaki Makaurau during Labour Day Weekend in 2017.

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:
1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.
2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.
3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.
Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.

Only qualified orthodontists can be NZAO members.
Why use a specialist Orthodontist?
Orthodontists are dentists who have done an additional three-year postgraduate qualification to become a fully qualified specialist orthodontist.
5000 hour of training to gain the necessary skills, to give you a perfect smile. If you need your teeth assessed, see an orthodontic specialist for a consult.
Dentists are not trained to provide with the depth of skill, knowledge and expertise that you deserve.
Claudia, Tania and Lutz are proud NZAO members.
Look out for the Logo.

Braces are no luxury good or a fashion item, but we appreciate that we can offer a variety of functional braces, fixed braces, removable braces and ceramic braces. We love this fantastic effort from brace manufacturers to provide young patients with more choices, boosting their confidence as soon as they start the treatment.
We also mention that costs associated with treatment are something that many parents should consider before they decide on their children’s braces. We are happy and believe that the cultural shift and fashion regarding orthodontic braces is excellent, but it is still a medical treatment and should be carried out by orthodontic professionals only. Ultimately, it helps to fix misalignment and prevent oral or dental issues that people might face when getting older, providing more confidence to achieve greater success in their lives.
