    I walk the Summit Road and Sugarloaf all the time..

    Over 100km a week up there on the tracks. From which I see all you Canterbury guys going up and down Dyers Pass Road cutting corners and hanging yourselves out over the white line on right handers. Speeding up through the 50kph zone at 80-90kph with your knees hanging out completely oblivious to all the hidden driveway exits.

    What really impressed me was the guy yesterday on the black Buell who was taking his time but his lines were beautiful, less haste, but controlled speed and anticipation etc.

    What makes me angry is the way people drive when they think they have the whole road to themselves. I tell my son there are two rules. Rule one is keep left and rule two is don't try to keep up with your mates!

    Multi lane roads. Why do "kiwi drivers" like to use the right hand lane?
    Why are trucks insisting on sitting in the middle lane?

    The left hand lane remains empty, but the right hand lane is in use much more of the time. Lots of reason not to stray, when in the vicinity of the centre line.

    Good thread, Dangerous!

    Actually if you are meaning on the motorways then... cos its perfectly legal and theres nothing saying they shouldnt be, its there right... You CAN pass on the left.

    So if some ones in ya way change lane, continue on... easy peasy

    *NB: unless in/on a passing lane were its spesified to keep left

    It might be legal but it's common courtesy to keep left

    Not when two of the ignorant fucks are traveling side by side you can't, which seems to happen on a reasonably regular basis

    But it increase congestion and clogs up the motorways.

    If slower people and people travelling the same speed as the inside lanes moved there MWs flow much nicer, in the UK it was common for people at 60 and 100 MPH to easily and safely share the same road.

    Yes. As below, and when the vehicle in front of you has indicated a right turn.

    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!
