And also two died just north of Te Kuiti on Sunday after crossing the centreline. The recent spate has been so horrific that we're losing track of our head-on fatalities.
I don't know if it's the same copper as on the news (Greally was his name) but according to the Harold he said "The bottom line is decision-making from our drivers - this problem won't go away until this country understands that this is a really serious problem". Either he's disagreeing with himself or the headline is misleading (or both).
Anyway, it's hard to argue that decision making is a really serious problem. It's one that training not only in information gathering and risk assessment but also emotional competence can really help with. Feeling pissed off and frustrated: I'll overtake over this slight crest 'cause I don't *think* there'll be anyone there. Feeling more level-headed: I'll wait until I can see better, thanks.
None of which is about speed per se.

fucken, how many times can this conversation be had with none of you old white cunts learning anything??
the cops job is to enforce policy. beginning and end of.
the policy is thou shalt not exceed the posted limit.
the policy is set by teh government. specifically, nzta.
nzta also fund a large portion of the police. so in order to keep getting the sweet sweet budget, the police have to show a return on investment.
it's nothing to do with "safety". it's all about budget.
thanks for playing. dont forget to vote.
He's wrong. As usual. We're a country of 4.5 million people with no appreciable economic growth and 30 years of two political ruling parties being fanatically opposed to infrastructure investment.
And yet we have a comprehensive road network from North to South and East to West that is in the main a network of sealed roads.
Our expectations for road quality are way too high.
Our expectations of driver competence are way too low.
Imagine reducing to the UK population to less than 5 million people, cutting England, Wales and Scotland in half across the middle and then expecting that country to have decent roads.
Currently they can do motorways. But their A roads are dodgy and anything under that is horrendous.
The scenario above would result in the UK having network of single lane goat tracks guarded by fag smoking, tractor driving bumpkins on steam powered traction engines.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Autobahns are great, no trucks in the fast lane, and only use the fast lane if your going fast or overtaking.
And on lots of them the opposing traffic is some distance away.
I did see some crashes on them....messy.
Govt will be keen on self drive cars as cheaper than doing better roads.
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
The police are so barking up the wrong tree.
Lowering speed limits isn't going to do anything to those that speed
Changing our roads will lower the death toll considerably, separating traffic so they cant hit each other for example, paint on a road and a number on a board is going to do jack shit!
That is what happens when you have decades of propaganda shoved down your throat by your supervisors. The term "brain washing" could be used as well.
Sadly they now only have ONE record to play and it is well and truly ineffective.
A huge "Thank you" has to go out to Mr Darwin!
Love your work Sir, and this time you were VERY accurate in getting rid of the correct scum, without injuring anyone else.
Why bother with the roads? They are not to blame at all. It is the vehicle operator that is the problem.
Actually it will. It increases the chance of the plod writing more tickets.
That results in them claiming (incorrectly) that they are "doing something"... Actually they are just alienating themselves from the public, who they actually need to solve real crimes, etc, etc.
