NZ: Share a favourite female historical figure...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We're all mostly familiar with Kate Sheppard's role in the women's suffrage movement (and her face on the $10 note) and you've likely heard of the bold, Jean Batten. But who else should not be forgotten? Tell us why!

We're all mostly familiar with Kate Sheppard's role in the women's suffrage movement (and her face on the $10 note) and you've likely heard of the bold, Jean Batten. But who else should not be forgotten? Tell us why!

Let's celebrate Women's History month as well as International Women's Day (this Wednesday) by sharing some of the lesser-known, inspiring women who've played a part in New Zealand's history.

Reckless Driving

Tricia from Westown

I'm assuming that an adult owns the Silver Volvo - number plate KWY201. Monday night (6th March) it was being driven by a boy aged about 17yrs old? I was driving up Waimea St towards the roundabout on Frankley Rd with the Volvo following me. I indicated to turn right, said Volvo crossed centre… View moreI'm assuming that an adult owns the Silver Volvo - number plate KWY201. Monday night (6th March) it was being driven by a boy aged about 17yrs old? I was driving up Waimea St towards the roundabout on Frankley Rd with the Volvo following me. I indicated to turn right, said Volvo crossed centre line, drove through roundabout on the rightside of it, cut in front of me and gunned it up Frankley Rd. It almost fishtailed as it turned left into Fernleigh St - narrowly missing an oncoming courier van. It didnt appear to slow as it then turned left into Elizabeth Pl. I followed the car and found it parked under the trees by the playground. Fitting really. When I wound my window down to express how dangerous the driving was, the driver and passenger just smiled. The driver took his phone out and made out he was videoing me.
I trust Dad will take the keys off him, and shout him on a Defensive Driving Course.
