Auckland drivers worst in the world?

[The Pastor]

I find Auckland drivers are very agressive.

Also Auckland/Kiwi drivers seem to fail to grasp the concept of merging

"Oh a gap in front of me....wait! That cunt is trying to get in there in front of me! He can't do that!"

"I'll do 70kph on the state highway, oh look a passing lane....HEY! HEY! he's passing me, I better gun it so he can't get in front of me, my fucking honour is at risk!"

actually is subconcious driving, i.e., the driver has no idea what hes doing.

When this is the case, the narrower the road the less safe the driver "feels" (in his sub concious) and slows down, when the road widens out (i.e., a passing lane) he feels safer and will speed up again.

but you being you, you wont care for the actual reason as long as you can shout and holler about it. Oh and wave your arms in the air loudly.

edit, and its mana, not honor you dirty British bastard.

Auckland is just a shit hole anyway. I just dont go there unless forced!

Gosh we miss you.

[Laava]

The one redeeming feature of driving in Auckland for me is the std of driving is better than here!

Honour, mana, shame shit, different word. Which ever you choose to acknowledge.

When you come to Auckland Take Care, auckland drivers are the worst i have ever come across.
If you indicate they will speed up to fill the gap
they lane change 50 times a second, with no indicators
bikes do not exsist
if they do somthing wrong and you say anything the first thing they want to do is fight you

DO NOT DRIVE IN AUCKLAND

You haven't been to the middle east or christchurch I take it? Or L.A, or England, France, jesus I could actually make quite a list! Ohh, anywhere in asia.....

A bit far fetched to say worst in the world retard.

Maybe some life experience may be useful?

I'm an auckland driver, I would'nt consider myself to be the best/or in any way the worst in the world.....

I bet if I followed you around for a day, I'd see your throwing stones in a glasshouse, i'm sure there's plenty of hazards you will miss that I will pick up!

What the fuck would I know though.

Ever tried to merge in tauranga? that's a fucken experience, they still follow the "merge like a whoever pussies out loses out in being 1 car ahead rule"

Worst in the world? Crap. Sounds like someone who hasn't travelled much.

My thoughts exactly, not many countries I have'nt been to, and saying wer'e the worst is just naiivity.

Oh so bloody true!!! I was shocked and stunned I tell you!!!

I have been in TGA almost a year now, and after living and doing a 1hr each way communt from Norf Shore to city, believe me Auckland drivers are exceptional road users compared to the TGA terrors!!

And don't even get me started on Shanghai....those little bastards are INSANE!!!! I am sure there is some form of road rules.....but I can be buggered if I can figure it out!

[Max Preload]

The worst? No. The most oblivious, self-centred, obnoxious - absolutely.

I actually found this post quite amusing.

I suspect the original poster is talking about the attitude of Auckland drivers. To generalise, they (we) tend to be rude, aggressive and think they are better drivers (riders) than anyone else. This gives them the right to heckle and bully other road-users. Right on cue, along comes firefighter to demonstrate exactly what the problem is!

I can just imagine firefighter heading down the road yelling "RETARD!" at people who aren't up to his exceptionally high standard of skill, and making gestures at them. Lovely demonstration of the OP's point.

I tend to do that...
Although my choice of labels ranges much further than just "retard", especially when I'm grumpy....

Driven in UK, USA, Europe, Aussie and Kenya and can say that the general standard of driving in Auckland is shall we say not good....however, you drive to the conditions and get few surprise although red light jumping seems to be a new pastime here at mo...saw a taxi follow a bus through a red light as mine were green and he was on a school run with a kid in the front seat and just gave me the finger..nice

Actually......I know better than to do that.... soooooo no it's not any kind of demonstration to prove his point at all.......!
I know better than to expect rediculously good driving, part and parcel with the occupation....and I don't get off on yelling at people or bullying them on my outings....again I do get a little grumpy when something stupid happens, but I would'nt chase someone down the road....(when the hell have I done any of this?)

I personally have driven in several countries around the world, have seen some absolute attrocious acts of lunacy.....and by no means consider myself to be mr AA road testers perfect example.....!

My reply to this post, was purely in response to the naiivity of the op's statements, whereas he blatantly decides to accuse me, of being one of the worlds worst drivers? How the fuck does he know what I drive like? lol.....I would'nt even consider "aucklanders" to be the worst in the country, never mind the world.....a bit of an overstatement to say the least.....
