Driving
Today I was driving down Woodfields Road, I got to the corner of Two Chain to turn towards Tram Road. Much to my anger a white newish SUV cut the corner and was full in my lane, this was 10 meters from the corner. You would have seen my car it is a large people mover had your car been hit it would have rolled you given your speed angle and the size of my car. One you were extremely lucky I was already breaking for the corner and two I actually could stop. You would have been 30 centimetres from my front bumper. People wonder why there are so many accidents and deaths on the road. It's because idiots like you are allowed something which kills others because of you inability to drive and have consideration of other drivers.

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)
.
