Lane splitting crackdown in Wellington?

[swbarnett]

Wrong.

Taxpayer has to pay for your medical bills.

You'd better stop riding then (or anything else even slightly risky that gives life meaning).

You crash a lot more than I do.

You should post your tally so far (your fault or not) it would beat Stephens.

House?

please explain......

It's an Auckland "thing". The rest of the Banana Republic fails to understand this.

Wellington traffic is just as hideous as any big city...

Completely untrue. First: Wellytown's weather is unlike anywhere else. Secondly, their population isn't equal. Thirdly: Their destination is "Wellytown".
Fourthly: The "public servants" reside there.

Wellington traffic is just as hideous as any big city, one and a quater hours to get in the Lower Hutt was reported last week while we down there working.

Yesterday it took us 2 hours to get to Okaki from the CBD, with 11khp at time, with one complete stop and wait just north of Paraparaumu. Years of ongoing road works wont help with it getting any better, I think that yesterday though, it was volume. I had no idea what the complete stop was about, wasn't a crash nor road works.

Welcome to my world. I commute Paraparaumu to the CB bloody D every day. Becoming an absolute pain in the arse. Roads too tight in many places to split on the bike and trucks seem to take exception lately to us using the shoulder and splitting. Like we are going to delay their journey ..how?
The Missus works in Tawa and getting home the other night took her 1hr50m by car - to travel about 30km. No 'incident' just traffic. Bring on the M2PP Expressway and Transmission Gully.

And Jaffas wonder why the rest of the country doesn't give a shit about their 'traffic woes'

One of the Mods at the time he was around, said that he would moan all the time to them about what was said about him online. All the while he would be laughing it off but secretly he hated it.

Both city's have a share of traffic problems, but at least Wellington is doing something about it. I don't envy anyone who has to deal with that everyday.

Hey MD, give up this silly working for a living and move further up.
We haven't looked back,stay well away from Wgton and if shopping has to be done go to PalmyNth.
Going into Levin for basic shopping and cheap petrol,only two sets of Traffic lights.

I had to get my car into Thorndon last Sat for a WOF and Service,a fucking nightmare.Had to double back from that cemetary at Plimmerton and do the Piecock (which was packed both ways at fucking 60 kph).
All cos modern Police can't clear a crash scene and keep traffic moving.(see, they miss my training ). Traffic clears north of Otaki.
ps Hows Steve's Doocati coming along after his oops ????

Traffic has gotten a lot worse this year, than I've ever known it. There wasn't a stead increase, people were off the roads for Christmas and came back after it to massively higher levels of cars on the road.

It's fucken frustrating as a tradesman. I've got no choice to be on the road, but so many of those cars have one person in them, can't drive to fucken save themselves, and are too arrogant to realise that a following distance letting people in SPEEDS TRAFFIC UP! But none of you will understand why that is either I'll bet.

not a jaffa, but just to be clear, i dont give a fuck about ANYONES traffic woes. Cos guess fucken what. If you're complaining about traffic YOU ARE TRAFFIC.

Fuckwits, the lottaya.

There was one of those staged single car accident placements just north of Paraparaumu on Thursday Gaz, possibly it had something to do with adding to the north bound snarl up. Some of the traffic buildup on the AKL M/Way is more often than not a car with it's hood up on the side of the road.
