Please give way at roundabouts and respect other drivers
I am getting fed up with the poor lack of respect shown by other drivers when using the roundabout, especially the one at Aviemore Drive and Cascades Road. Considering I have the right of way at roundabout, I find it very frustrating the number of drivers that choose to not give way and dash out in front of my car as I am right in their path.
Why do these arrogant drivers think not only it is okay to do this, but sound your horn at them, they also do the fingers at you. As for the awful person who did just that to me this evening, I have wasted no time in reporting them to the police with an online form. I urge other respectful and responsible drivers to do the same.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
