1620hrs - Carnage on the Southern

[Guided_monkey]

South bound just before the Mt Wellington off-ramp.

5 - 6 ish cars involved. HP and ambo in attendance.

Then to add to the carnage 3 car n2t south bound just after the Parnell on ramp.

Watch out for the rubber neckers......:argh:

[NDORFN]

Haha. Auckland sucks.

[YellowDog]

5-6 cars!

All driving with due care and attention, not on their mobile phones and keeping a safe distance.............

[Mom]

not on their mobile phones ....

Or painting their nails :wacko:

the only thing that suprises me is that it doesnt happen more often. I travel out that way often and see some of the stupidest driving behaviour on that particular stretch of motorway...... its particularly bad heading back into Auckland when, the traffic tends to build up and people just follow each other waaaayyyy to closely, chopping and changing lanes without any warning..... its like a bloody competition to see who can squeeze into the smallest gap. Its madness out there.

Lets make it illegal to drive on any Auckland motorway, the annual death toll would drop immediately... :zzzz: :whistle:

Fucken Jafas will consider every stupid arse idea they can before they concede to mass-transit... don't encourage them.

I second that. I don't drive so, it would make my life much easier.

At around 3pm the Southern was banking up just past the Manukau interchange.

Drove past a van on the inside lane that was facing the wrong way and a trailer jammed into the median barrier.

Just another fucking Aucklander on the road. You know when you're nearing Auckland when the Aucklanders are hogging the passing lanes on the Waikato Expressway or SH2, in a complete daze.

Actually, in terms of passenger miles, the Southern motorway is the safest stretch of road in the country.

I'd be keen on mass transit if it was actually worth taking....have a look at this (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sideswipe/news/article.cfm?c_id=702&objectid=10598934).
