    aye, that was my point. it just took me a while to get round to it lol.
    i wouldnt want to be caught dead in the same grave as me.

    Yeah know what you mean. The example I attach is not North or South Island but I saw in Aussie.

    How amazing to say "TIRED? POWERNAP NOW"

    To me a power nap is what you take at your desk, at a meeting, on the train etc and you just do it where you are. To take one while driving or riding and "NOW" to me means go to sleep right now at the wheel or behind the bars and then what likely consequence?

    Holy Hell! I have seen signs similar even here and I can't see them doing anything significant.

    I recently arrived back in Tauranga after a trip around the South Island. Throughout my travels, I noticed some different speeding billboards to what I've seen in the North Island.
    Does anyone know what happens on Stewart Island? Do they have billboards?

    I don't recall seeing any when I was there a few years back

    Yes, not many of them though and mostly shingle

    No, quite of lot of seal in proportion on Stewart Island but total roads only about 14km, you'd have trouble getting above 100km/hr on any of them.
