SAFER ROADS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?
Had a trip to Hastings by car via State HIghway 1 and the Saddle Road crossover to Sate Highway 2 and the only potentially dangerous incident during the trip were the ominous several same model "gang" vans parked in the CBD area of Hastings with some of the members gathering around.
The patches will soon be off so promises the new Government which will only make it a little harder for the public at large to identify a potential issue.
Hope these better driving habits are a good omen for the December-February holiday period in NZ.
Is this a sign of prosperity in Hastings: may have chosen only the best in the city but on a Thursday evening, a large Thai restaurant was all but booked out and on Friday mid morning, a large art deco cafe was similarly filled including with a leisurely relaxed young policeman.
A little later, I couldn't get a cop to pop over to a service station to investigate some issue. But the very next day they sent me a text asking how satisfied I was with their response.
