    You forget about 'baby boomers'? Biggest chunk of the population by age grouping. You are one too.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    The weather definitely played a part. When was the last time we had brilliant sunshine for the duration of Easter? Fookin never!

    The economy must also deserve a pat on the back for the lack of deaths. I've not been this skint since I was a teenager

    I like the way it was put across in the news.

    The road toll was the lowest in history for the easter period at zero.

    As if it is possible that it could have been lower at some point.

    If there had never been a death on the roads in easter it would still be the lowest toll recorded.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    I don't want to mention bad news about the Easter road toll - but it may not remain at zero. There was at least one critically injured person on the road during Easter, and it is not clear that they will survive yet.

    The Easter road toll may still rise at this point in time.

    Don't feel too bad . This possibility was raised in post #2 but thanks for answering the question posted back then.
    Also I did note that the police spokesman, Mr Morgan, mentioned that many of the crashes were bad enough that it was only luck (to paraphrase him) that someone hadn't died already.

    ...and post #2 is where the thread slanted...the question was about the word zero being used as an official toll number....not when/if people will die as a result of an rendering zero to its proper place in the numeric system.

    As soon as you mentioned the road toll in post 1 it was going, sorry but that's just the way it is.
    I still think 0 is a toll. A null toll or perversely null toll but still a toll. The Auckland harbour bridge had a toll of x amount now the toll is zero.

    ....the monetary toll on the span is no longer...it does not sit at zero, how can something that is not of this world, even exsist?

    This bit is telling..''I still think 0 is a toll''...translation = its your belief that...or opinion...
    Many would have you beleive that White/Balck are colours when the truth is, they are both a shade, there is no grey area.

    White is the reflection of all colours and black is the absorption of all colours. Does that then make them both all colours?

    On the contrary...what it does do however, if going by your discription, is put them both into the mix of the colour spectrum, but not a primary, more of an active participant.

    But did colourful active participants contribute to the zero road toll..?
