Make people resit their licence after a set period of time, say ten years, and they have to pass it at a modern standard.

Also start ticketing people who camp out in the fast lane and don’t pass anyone.

More than I’d be willing to pay. Dr Who was the same price.

It really depends on how much time it shaves off the trip.

If it saves me 15 minutes, it’s worth $8 to my boss.

No, because even per capita we’re still worse off than 2011-2016. No matter how you look at it, things have gotten worse since then

I understand it’s supposed to be a multi faceted approach, it’s been explained to me to exhaustion, but there’s only one facet being polished for the most part.

No matter how you look at the data, what we’re currently doing isn’t working.

It does. It also means I can get to Levin in under an hour, which makes it practical to commute there from the hutt Valley.

Which means a far more competitive market for trades, and makes it cheaper and easier to build something there.

It’s acceptance that these crashes are going to happen, because people are human.

This is the part I have an issue with, we are collectively giving up on preventing crashes.

Our best years in modern history were 2011-2016, and we are only just now getting back to those levels, despite our vehicles constantly getting safer. We are doing something very wrong with road safety right now.

There was a lot of advertising around the CBD, from memory, and a bit of social media.

Although they probably could have done more.

Are there enough people around who care about these IPs to pay money to see movie props?

It would seem not.

Nobody has died on the Kapiti expressway, and people regularly travel that road faster than 110 even.

The chances of surviving if you don’t crash in the first place are 100%, we need better roads and better drivers, not lower limits.

Low speed limits are a cop-out.

The underlying cause of most fatal crashes isn’t speed, it’s either people driving impaired, or making poor decisions on the road, with some mechanical failures and black ice etc thrown in.

The solution to this is more policing, more check points, more prosecution of people driving dangerously, and harsher penalties for those that do. We also really should have mandatory re-testing every ten years or so.

We also need to spend more money on our road network, more median barriers, more shoulders, better maintenance of the road surface etc.

But all that stuff is hard and expensive, and sitting on the side of the road with a camera or a radar gun is easy, so we do the easy thing, and say “they’d have survived if they’d been doing 70”.

Theyd have survived if they hadn’t crashed, too.

Spot the poor kid.

It’s been a while since I saw that one, absolutely brilliant.

I’m not entirely sure, perhaps it’s just cheaper to change the sign than spend too much time fixing it?

If you’re living in a rural area, they tend to be very blue (national) for financial policy reasons, but from what I’ve seen are reasonably accepting of different sexualities etc.

As far as tourist areas are concerned, I don’t think they will be significantly different from urban areas, there’s not really a link between political views and being into the outdoors.

This offence criminalises the act of “foreign interference”. To commit the offence, a person must be doing an activity for a foreign state, and the person’s actions must include all three of the following key elements – they:

know, or ought to know, they are acting for a foreign state, and
act in a covert, deceptive, coercive, or corruptive manner, and
intend to, or be aware that they are likely to, harm New Zealand interests specified in the offence through their actions.

This doesn’t really back up the claims you make in the body text, and this is the source you’ve provided to back yourself up.

First, factual reporting isn’t acting for a foreign state, unless they’re paying you a salary.

Second, there isn’t anything deceptive about reading, writing or sharing news articles.

Third, I struggle to see how this would harm NZ interests.

This is all very tinfoil hat, in my view.
