Thank you!
I just want to thank the work truck driver who’s quick thinking stopped a careless female driver undertaking him and almost running myself and my 3 year old over on the crossing beside Daily Bread Bakery this morning. I was crossing safely carrying my daughter, the truck with 2 men in it stopped and we waved to say thank you, I hadn’t seen a women sneaking up and quickly undertaking him. He spotted it and wedged his truck in front of her blocking her car with his truck. People I know you’re all in a rush in the morning but if traffic is stopped at a crossing please think before passing any other vehicle. If it hadn’t been for his keen observation skills and quick thinking myself or my daughter could of been road kill. Car vs pedestrians we would of stood no chance. I had waited till traffic stopped before crossing I hadn’t just stepped out into moving traffic this is beyond stupid what the woman did.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
