The Te Puke commuter driven mad with slow motorists: May I provide the following information to save him a great deal of money, instead of selling house in Te Puke.
Te Puke to Domain Road Roundabout is10.2 km.
At an average speed of 90 km/h travel time 7 minutes.
At 80 km/h Travel time 7.5 minutes. Lost time half a minute
At 70 km/h Travel time 8.7 Minutes. Lost time 1 & a half minutes
At 60 km/h Travel time 10 minutes. Lost time 3 minutes

Simon would need to be on a very large hourly rate to make it profitable to move to Tauranga to save 16 minutes a day on commuting from Te Puke to Mount Maunganui and return.
Just out of interest a trip to Auckland of 220 K's at average 90 KPH would take 2 hours 30 minutes At average 80 KPH would take an extra 18 minutes.
