Scooters at traffic lights

Rhiann from Hataitai

Hi! I drive a 50cc scooter, like a lot of other people in Wellington. The traffic lights do not register us as a car, therefore the traffic light will not turn for us. I always drive up a little further so that cars can come behind as if they are first in line, so that the traffic lights will turn … View moreHi! I drive a 50cc scooter, like a lot of other people in Wellington. The traffic lights do not register us as a car, therefore the traffic light will not turn for us. I always drive up a little further so that cars can come behind as if they are first in line, so that the traffic lights will turn green for us.
Recently a lot of people won't come up, therefore we have been stuck on red for ages.
Just a post to say come up, without scaring the person if they are not aware of the situation, so that the lights will turn green and everyone can be on their way!
Thanks! Have a great day all.

IRD is warning of a new scam that asking customers for credit card details. IRD has received a significant number of report about the email.

It is a very good copy of a legitimate IR email. It can be detected by the following:
- The From Field does not end in ird.govt.nz
- Hovering the cursor over the weblink does not point to an IRD.GOVT.NZ website.
- Do not click as these are not from IRD. We will never advise you that you are due a tax refund through email.

Anyone who receives an email from the IRD, or someone claiming to be the IRD should get in contact with them.

The blue lights introduced to "minimise reflection" on the driver's front windscreen have been criticised for being "too aggressive" and being "unhealthy".

Metlink said the lights were not installed for aesthetics, but instead had an "operational purpose". What do you think of them?
