And no I'm not a taxi driver, I'm a technician covering all of Otago. = lots of driving.

Slow drivers who I've just sat behind for 10km of "no passing for 10km", one of whom then uses 2km of passing lane to get past the two other slow cars in front.

You might want to re-think whether you actually need to overtake them if they're only a fraction slower than you.

And stop being such inconsiderate fucks.

People who are able to convince finance companies to give them money for overpowered vehicles, yet don't get insurance, so I have to wait 8+ years for them to pay off their debt at $20 per week before I see my excess paid back.

Your insurance company really should be chasing that if the accident wasn't your fault.

Last time we were rear-ended by someone I just needed a police report saying the other party was at fault and we got our excess back (after much pissing around, though I might add).

Baal · 17th October 2007, 10:44

Not so much of a gripe as a general observation that there really needs to be a higher barrier to entry on the NZ driver's license.

Hmm - might take it up with the mother of my boy's friend, who is in the local office. I was under the impression that we got ours after they got all of theirs - that's what happened last time I got the surprise from behind from an uninsured person. I guessed that some pressure from other areas gave him the incentive to clear it up - ie Baycorp.

comments like "why do we need an auto air freshener in the ladies loo when it never smells in there?"

Uhhh, hello, do you think the air freshener MIGHT have something to do with that?

Similar to people who think "What on earth do those I.T guys DO all day, stuff doesn't break down that often around here so what on EARTH do they do?!"

Sp0nge · 17th October 2007, 11:44

yeah, similar to people saying the Y2K issue was just an over-reaction, without knowing the amount of time and money that went into fixing stuff that would not have worked otherwise.

Damn right. Sitting the tests is a mere formality. You don't need to know how to drive competently and considerately; you only need to know how to control a vehicle well enough to follow instructions.

Having said that, the youth of today are about as bad as some of the drivers who should know better but don't. I'm talking about oldies that are so baffled by roundabouts that their method is to simply give way to everybody, indicate for all directions and then just wander through the roundabout in any style, thus thinking they've covered every base.

Hmm - looks like there will be another report of a sword weilding man walking around in my street. Road was blocked by a fire engine, and there were fire and police vans, and jokers wearing black sitting in Commodores just watching people. And heaps of water being used, but no smoke, and chaps covering stuff with tarps.

/edit - forgot the gear grinding part - having to explain to the chemist why I need cold medication when I have two snotty kids and a wife barking all night with a cough. Getting medicine was a lot easier before all these bloody swordsmen.

That's a masturbation cramp. Especially when it's your other leg. i.e you're tugging away with your right hand and your left foot/calf seizes up.

A 39 year old retarded swordswoman who got raided in the post where I first mentioned it about 4 weeks ago, and then decided that after the cops come around and bust you as you are about to start a P lab, then the best thing to do is actually start a P lab. Genious.

And if you knew anything about Mt Eden then you'd know that all those buses going up and down Mt Eden every day cause massive amounts of damage to the mountain itself.

But hey, Thanks for taking an interest in my life

Now go eat some pies made from the finest cuts of eye fillet you tubby guy you
