    Ultimately at the end of the line is Aunty Hellacious - join the queue. She's got broad shoulders she'll cope.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Sorry to tell you all, the power to set speed limits has always been the Director of LTNZ's province. You didn't really think that Parliament debates each new speed limit did you?
    Nothing new here.
    More to the point is the proliferation of long term 'temporary' speed limits for no good reason.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Doesn't the new 40 kmh over law have an exception whereby the point at which one has his licence suspended on a temporary speed limit road, is still 50 kmh over?

    Temporary speed zones are still +51 kph before losing your licence. The new change applies to permanent speed zones only.

    Who said that there were roadworks happening between the signs? Often, there is nothing there BUT the signs. *Read as SPEEDTRAP*. Ka-ching!! Thank you, next please.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Yeah, probably but I don't make the rules, do I?

    I'm stunned by your candour Spud, do you ever wonder about doing the bidding of the gene pool rejects that set your policies?

    Skyrider - I have bad news for you...

    YOU (yes you - as in your body mind and soul) are the property of the government.

    They can decide what to do with you any old time they want. They can send you to war, (or to prison - your choice).

    They can order your death.

    They permanently own the land your house is on (you don't own it, you have a lease on it in perpetuity).

    It's not good news, but it's also not new.

    Have a nice day :-)
