Righteous Right Laners

......................... some crap about her doing the speed limit so she's not going to make it easy for anyone who wants to travel 5 kms faster than her to pass..... ummm, yes, well!!!

worry not
there's a special section of hell reserved for self-righteous, arrogant twits

- oops - sorry - your relly - no offence intended

hehe, none taken what-so-ever, I verbalised my displeasure (especially as she was driving my car at the time) and she gave me some more self-righteous shit, so hey, she can live with the abuse given to her by pissed off motorists who "can't drive as well as me anyway". lol

Its one of my pet peeves, I seem to always get stuck behind people who dont get the "left lane unless passing" law. The sooner I get my mulitple missile launcher mounted to my bike, become world presidante, build my own army of ninja robots, get rid of celine dion, put all the french and fashion designers on the same sinking island, ban reality TV, bring back buck, get helen clark the sex change thats needed, give NZ an airforce that will black out the sun and rule the universe while creating a new ozone layer, bring in capital punishment for mimes, make eating possums compulsory for those who want the dole, mulch the lawyers, put an autobahn from bluff to cape, make all car drivers ride scooters for a year, make cats and dogs get along, ban fluffy toilet seat covers, remake the 65 mustang, clone steve mcqueen, make iceblocks 5 cents......aw crap its to much work, what was I saying again?

Anyone can lodge a complaint about a driver on the Police website, you need to get the rego and some details though. I believe they let the driver know of the complaint. http://police.govt.nz/service/road/roadwatch.html

or accounting for speedo era they could be sitting at around 85 kmh and thats only with ten percent out which the law recognises.
Stop being arrogant its there for passing not for cruising at 95kmh

Huh? Since when?
It is your duty to have your vehicle up to standard and a speedo reading 10% out is not going to prevent you getting a ticket. You will just be told that you should get your speedo recalibrated...at your expense, of course.
Right, back on topic now...

1) Was there any courtesy sections in the training or tests?
2) What is the law for this?

All up probably only about 5 let me past, so I gave them a wave.

It's what it's always been - "you must keep as far to the left as possible"

But don't expect it to ever be enforced

[titirangi]

another vote for patience here. whenever i come up to slower drivers in the right, waiting for 60-90secs normally sees a safe gap open up. its just a few extra minutes, no big deal. dont let them wind you up - they are likely just jealous.

GRRRRR, Hutt motorway/road, pisses me off beyond all belief for this!
Was traveling with my sister-inlaw one day and she was sitting in the right hand lane, doing about 95-100, not passing anything, just sitting there, so I hit her up about it when a car came and sat up behind us and then passed us on the left. Her reasoning was some crap about her doing the speed limit so she's not going to make it easy for anyone who wants to travel 5 kms faster than her to pass..... ummm, yes, well!!!

Did you call her a FAAHN CAAAHN

You should self-righteously point out that her road use is illegal and that you will quite happily *555 her from inside the car next time she gives you a lift and breaks the law.

Why do kiwi drivers have to enter the motorway and go straight across to the right hand lane?

"Get a gun and shoot the fucks" is appropriate I believe.

[Hitcher]

Left lane except passing
Driving with parking lights on
Racks of treadlies tied on with a rubber band completely obscuring indicators, stoplights and rego plate
Failing to indicate
Indicating and simultaneously moving into the right-hand lane...

The Bloody Gummint isn't prepared to enforce these and similar laws, yet now wants to ban cellphones and radar detectors? Hello?

You won't be able to say "Hello?" if they ban mobile phones bro.

I got the next best thing: A bloody big 2.5 ton landrover with very loud horns. And I know it is very childish and immature, but when somebody twaddles on righthand lane and stays there, I indicate to pass , toggle the lights, give aloud blast and start passing.....on the right hand side of course..
And I swear to god, some physicly jumped out of their seats

Makes up for all those times when I am to vulnerable to deal with those twurps that endanger others, and should not be allowed to drive anything bigger or faster then a shopping trolley....
