Round and round we go...

[Hitcher]

You nong is not an anagram of Auckland Darer... it's a palindrome - Like Bolton and Ipswich.

Coffee snorted up nostrils and over screen and keyboard! I think you mean a pisstake, like Bolton and Ipswich...

Who put the cunt in Scunthorpe?

A man, a plan, a canal. Panama!

Dude, I'm not sure what you're smoking, but can I have some anyway?

Dunno how much this education stuff will help while the populace remains predominantly blind and half-stoned.

I got shunted from behind this morning while waiting to enter a roundabout....

Pleased to hear the Zeal came out of it ok
(and yourself, of course)

I understand that the technical term for such an act is a "Liberace".

Well - you can't blame British Rail for it - whatever it is.

[Aitch]

How the hell do you know where they're going if they don't indicate? And before anyone tries to tell me that you always see them enter the roundabout, think about the big bastard at the nothern end of panmure. or just about any of the roundabouts on Te Rapa straight.......

always presume they are gunna cross your path... not that farqin hard.... you should always presume they are gunna cross your path no matter what!!! until they turn off before they get to you, then away ya go!!!
even if the dickheads DO indicate.. thats the way I do it anyway...

ok, I know its license on cornflake packet here but there is nothing strange about the new law - you all should have been doing it anyhow - well you would have - if they had bothered to train you to do it

For a left hand turn - you do it just like a normal left hand turn - make sure you are in the left lane (or move to the left if one lane). Mirrors, signal, lifesaver, maneuver - really easy.

A straight ahead exit or one between 9pm and 12-oclock is treated as a left hand turn.

Right hand turn is just as easy, move to the right (or right lane) and make a right hand turn (mirrors, signal, lifesaver, maneuver). As you pass the exit previous to the one you want (normally the 12oclock exit), you indicate to turn left, mirrors, signal, lifesaver, manuever and off you go.

Any turn thats more than 12-oclock around the roundabout - is treated as a right hand turn.


For those worried about the lanes side of things. The only people in the left hand lane are the people going out the same exit as you (if its single laned exit) and you being in the center lane are on their right - so have right of way. I dont think there are any two lane single exit on single lane roundabouts in NZ.

For dual lane roundabouts with dual lane exits - the people in the left lane take the left lane on the exit and the people in the right (center) lane the right lane on the exit. Just like turning in to a dual carridge road - you are not allowed to swing into the far lane.

actually, on the hutt park roundabout, you need to actually change lanes in the middle if you have entered from 2 entrances and want to leave again..
and the paremata roundabout changes from 2 into 1 if coming from porrirua and going to whitby into 2 again if the next exit.... it has 4 2lane roads (2 entry, 2 exit) and 3 single lanes (both ways) coming off it....

One day we'll make it to the 21st century!

You reckon?

[Motu]

What's this crap about indicating on roundabouts? - I never do.I grew up on the Panmure roundabout,no one had indicators then,and if they did they never used them.If you can't tell what the car is doing by watching it's attitude and the driver you shouldn't be on the bloody road,you are an accident waiting to happen! Just last week I posted in a thread how I was beside a cop at a roundabout,he pulled out on a car that had to brake to miss him - I could see what the driver was doing even if it had no indicators on....true,the driver was looking straight ahead,at the left front corner of the car actualy,obviously not a good driver - but the front wheels were still on hard right lock,that car was coming right around...I saw that,a POLICEMAN didn't.Total fuckwits.

I reckon there's some virus or something that all vehicles catch when they arrive in NZ that kills the microns that activate the indicators.

Maybe it's just that upon getting thier licecnce (or arriving from another country) all the little connections in thier head that tell them to hit the indicator at any given point die off.:spudwhat:
