Jesus, enough of the fucking Wiki links already, pee-daft.

The Wiki has information on many common things asked that pertain to NZ. Rather than endlessly repeating the same thing a simple link can be posted.

I do have an issue with "the wiki' , hey p dath, it's written and rewritten by numpties who don't always know the truth or essence of a subject and therefore is quite often wrong.
However, it's not a bad starting point of reference.
When are we going to go see the AA again mate?

Can you give me one example from the Wiki that is like this?
EDIT: Most of the "good stuff" is here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/wiki/Cate...ng_New_Zealand.

There is nothing coming up at the AA for the moment. I was thinking of starting a thread about driver licencing, and how we could improve it ... and the AA is the primary driver licencing agency in NZ ... and I have also met the head of this agency ...

And while talking of Yellow lines look at these:

This is a bit of a hazard for all motorists...

And only the one on your side applies to you. It's amazing how many people don't know that - you can tell because they say dumb shit like "overtaking on double yellows".



Yeah, like driving through a red light. $150 and no demerits because that's safer than driving at 120km/h in a 100km/h zone with good visibility and a fucking great concrete barrier or wide grassed median between you and oncoming vehicles.

The law is an arse. It becomes more of an arse when it is designed to accomodate numpties who want a definite line drawn between what's 'safe' and what's not - it's easy to read a speedometer - not so easy to judge whether you looked before changing lane.

the law is an arse, blablabla, speeding doesn't kill, blalblabla, i'm gods gift to riding, blablabla.
Get some new material.

yellow lines are do not cross lines, not do not pass.

So what does one do on Royal View road or Don Buck rd when a vehicle is parked on the side of the road (which is pretty much all the time)?
For those that aren't westies these are reasonably busy roads with a single lane in each direction and most or all of the road is yellow lines down the middle. It would be impossible for a car to use Royal View rd any day without crossing the yellows due to parked cars.

If the cars are parked, you are not passing them.

[Scuba_Steve]

What is the penalty for passing on the no passing yellow lines?

Nothing, its only illegal if you cross the yellow line.

yup, it's not considered passing if the vehicle is parked, and it is only the act of crossing the yellow line while performing a passing maneuver that is an offense, though not staying within your lane is also an offense, so crossing the yellow without a good reason would be dangerous driving

Every day when i pull into my driveway i cause motorists to cross the yellow line outside my house...think the police would have a right fun time if they sat there. I try to pull in as fast as possible so as not to cause them to cross the line, it's quite scarey as I'm also on a corner .....

[red mermaid]

Have you ever thought of pulling over and stopping before your driveway, letting the following cars pass and then pulling into your driveway once there is no one behind you?

I reckon. It worries me when people want things like lane splitting "clarified", all because it worries them. All we need is another fucking rule making things "clearer".

We like endlessly repeating the same thing!

It is you who needs new material. The same old "abuse people so you feel better" is particularly poor behaviour. Stop being an asshole.
