    in NZ it IS legal to pass on motor ways in the LEFT lane


    Yeah, a simple soulition aye...



    LMFAO whos the inconsiderate bastard! again... remembering as long as the car in the right hand lane is doing the speed limit it is there right to travel in it???


    You guys need to sit down and chill out... ohhh and learn the code.
    The keep left rule refers to a single lane rd and passing bays ONLY

    This is NEW ZEALAND there is no such thing as a fast/slow lane


    I dont think they are getting it Ixion... they are kiwi's and seriously believe they own the road they believe its healthy to flip the birdi and flash there lights while their blood pressure goes through the roof... its efortless to change lanes FFS

    PS: slow drivers in the right hand lanes are a differant story alltogeather then again all we need to do is change lane

    Of cource im talking about slow people in the right hand lane. There is no reason for them to be in the right hand lane, If they went faster (or at least the speed limit) I woundn't care as much. I win.

    Oh and about nz not having fast/slow lanes, your only half right - There all slow lanes.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    It don't feel safe using the right lane to overtake (or undertake) - just need one nonce to forget to indicate when pulling back in....and wipeout!
    (afterall indicators are a bit of a optional courtesy as they only just brought in the "indicating off roundabouts" rule)

    NZ needs to decide which rule to use - stick to the right unless overtaking OR free for all - why have both?

    When driving slowly people get bored and look around at the view, play with things in the car whatever and as people have said spend more time checking their speedo than the road. oooooooops was that a corner bang crash head on!!!!!
    You are absolutely correct. However, I am a sarcastic bastard.

    Yes, this is one of my pet hates too. I've got it down to such a fine art that I don't actually bother getting stressed about it these days. I can tailgate a car for kilometres on end without raising my blood pressure one iota. Of course, it gets a bit tiresome after a while since the concentration to do it and keep a bonnet is quite significant. My approach:
    1. If I'm in the car - I either pass on the left if there's room, or tailgate them majorly until they move, or I pass them on the left if they don't making sure I pull back in with just a little bit too little room and scare them.
    2. If I'm on the bike - there's lanes?

    Don't get me started on cars/trucks not indicating lane changes, or bastards speeding up at passing lanes.

    I do not recommend that you flash them. Especially in winter. Makes them drive right off the road and makes you very, very cold.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    If he is talking about the motorway then sweet pass on the left.

    But if it's a passing lane, correct me if I'm wrong, but it clearly states on a sign at the start of that lane KEEP LEFT UNLESS PASSING.
    Put your glasses on mate... in the quote that YOU quoted... I said just that (in the case of two lanes)
    And don't be a wise arse..... we all know what the sign says at the start of a passing bay... READ MY BLOODY POST AGAIN

    Oh yeah right lane huggers suck alright. Isn't there a sign going south past Silverstream saying keep left unless passing?

    I hate those f%$kers who speed up at passing lanes too. You get that a lot here in Upper Slutt. Usually a clapped out jap import with smoke pissing out of it and 4 lil wannabe gangstas giving you a westside out the window. I'd love to give them a hard slap from westside to eastside for that crap.

    Well glad thats off my chest.
