Poll: Did you hear the siren tests in Napier on Sunday

Reporter Hawke's Bay News

Napier's sirens were tested on Sunday, these are a warning system for any threat the public needs to know about, including a tsunami. Napier City Council Civil Defence teamed up with the New Zealand Fire Service to test the city's 16 sirens at 11.50am with sirens sounding for five minutes. The council conducted a survey to collect feedback on how the test went, however some people commented on social media saying they didn't hear the tests or the online survey didn't work for them. What was your experience? Please write DNP (Do Not Print) if you don't want your comment to be published in print.

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! 😱
