There has been a lot of talk in the media about foreign drivers. Recently I drove from Tauranga to Auckland and back. I was passed at high speed on double yellow lines, at times on corners.

A logging truck held me up at low speed for quite some distance. When I finally passed on an overtaking stretch, the truck immediately sped up and tailgated me all the way to Waihi. I was then tailgated several times between Waihi and Auckland.

On three occasions I had to brake sharply as trucks pulled out from side roads right in front of me. There was nothing behind me and nothing coming the other way, so why not wait a few seconds?

On the way home there was more double yellow line overtaking and high speed tailgating, and every one of you looked like Kiwis. My advice is to get your own act together before condemning foreign drivers. New Zealand drivers are the worst in the world.
