    All this smacks of justifying why people are too lazy to drive properly.
    *NOTHING* will work on the Panmure roundabout. I emailed the guy who drew up the new rondabout rules. He admitted he lived in Christchurch and had no experience of roundabouts aother than the 4 way 90 degree types. But said he'd "be happy to takeon comments about more complicated roundabouts."

    Bloody wallys from the provinces thinking they know how to write rules for big cities. Piss off unless you live in a 1000000 + city

    Yeah. So Asians don't hold the patent on being unlicensed. So there.

    seems quite prominent amongst Maori and Pacific Islander communities too. And young white teenage males, for that matter.

    Begs a question....drivers who breach their license conditions....should they get classified into the same box?

    the "people whose vehicles exceed their legally permitted driving-capability" box.
