Did you know that the Waikato Explorer was in liquidation?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

The river ferries firm is sunk financially, leaving director Darren Mills no choice but voluntary liquidation.
He'd been trying to sell the business and move closer to family, but said there were "a lot of tyre-kickers around, no money”.
The liquidation has raised questions about jetty upgrades funded by ratepayers and whether they'll now be used.

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! 😱
