It just has just about got to that stage where they need a hospital at the summit of the Kaimais.


Why?..

....seriously.... why over very recent years have we suddenly lost the ability to drive at least "acceptably" on our roads?..the roads are the same (crap as they may be in some instances, but no excuse) .... we don't get the true facts to form our own conclusion, and many, perhaps even Police are bound not to tell the "real" truth about what is happening out there. I don't get it, it's as though a switch has been "flicked" and we just suddenly don't give a damn about anyone else including ourselves. You know I am seriously hoping I am wrong.........,

Rather than making foreigners, 99% of which are very capable drivers, take a test, maybe all Kiwi car and truck drivers who are involved in single vehicle "crashes" should be made to prove they are capable of driving? Clearly they are not. Seems to happen very often here.
