Auckland drivers worst in the world?

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

Um most of the time in auckland people are polite to me. But i'm of the thinking what goes around comes around and the few times i've had people be rude I have probably deserved it.

Nope, I was reading that there is a town in India run by a local cult which teaches that all destinies are pre-determined, even the time of death. So it leads to some interesting road rules based around whether its your turn to die or not.

You could be forgiven for thinking maybe there is a branch in Auckland?

Auckland is actually pretty good compared to Seoul, Taipei or Manila.

You have lanes to change to? - at 50 times a second?

Well there's yer problem, too many lanes!!

Driving in Auckland or anywhere in NZ is such a relaxing experience after the Kyrgyz drivers....Where youbuy your license not sit for your license...no tests, none, zip..

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!"

Taipei is huge fun. I spent two weeks there and still don't understand how I never saw a bus vs scooter incident. The buses just drive where they want, and the scooters are everywhere...

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