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.

The owner came, grabbed the dog and left the kids. My son luckily wasn't hurt too seriously, but has puncture wounds on his face and head, and is covered in deep scratches. If anyone saw anything or knows a dog who fits this description please let me know. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else, maybe with a worse outcome.
