Speed limit reductions in the eastern suburbs

William from Bucklands Beach

Is it bothering anyone else that speed limits are coming down in the Eastern Suburbs? Last year they dropped the limit on Aviemore Drive from 60 down to 50. Just before they did this, they whited out most of the speed limits on that road. Now I see that speed limit signs are being whited out on Botany Road, Pakuranga Road, and Ti Rakau Drive, so it looks as though they are readying to drop those limits as well. If you can't drive down Pakuranga Road safely at 60 kph, maybe you shouldn't be driving at all!

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! 😱
