@no-quarter this section of road, whilst new, is a notoriously dangerous section, I noted on the bend just past where the cop started chasing him, and car travelling the opposite direction has obviously lost control and hit the 'cheesecutter' barrier in between traffic travelling opposite directions.
Some areas I do question the lowered speed limits, but not this area.

Yeah, I'm actually in favour of them lowering speed limits particularly in dangerous stretches of road. But they've got it wrong on this part and have actually made it more dangerous - I believe they are looking at increasing it though.

I was out mowing my lawns and some little shit threw a bottle at me, it missed thank fuck. I rang the cops but I didn’t get the license plate of the car, while I was on the phone the car came past again and stopped at the give way sign. Got the plate, colour of the car and description of the little shit driving.

Let me guess, one of the doors was from a different car (was red when the car is blue) the boot is tied down with a piece of rope and the music blasting out of the piece of shit car was some piss poor rap shit.

@jegga last time they were doing roadworks outside my house, one of their cones accidentally fell in my drain so they couldn't see it, so I kept it for when I am clearing weeds form the drain on the side of the road, someone puts the cone in the middle of the road (I live on a km straight piece of road that is an 80km zone) which I have found to be very effective in slowing them down.

The 80km limit through the Waterview tunnel and approaches has nothing to do with safety though. It is all about maximising the volume of through traffic.

Whatever the reason, it's not working. Driving 80km along that stretch back into the city is a nightmare as every time you go to change lane there's someone doing 100km+ next to you. They either need to actually enforce the limit, or change it.

I was driving back from work a few months back and traffic was very heavy (SH1 North from Tokoroa) and this idiot was passing on bends and just jamming himself into spaces that weren't there. (He would have passed 20 odd cars separately and 90% dangerously)
I *555 and I wasn't the only one and just after putaruru he had been pulled up by a cop and he was just leaning on this guys bonnets smiling as nearly every car passed gave a 'toot toot'

It was gold with a white door.

@no-quarter According to NZTA its achieving its objective. Every time I drive that section I make sure I'm in the right lane way ahead of time and just stay in it thus avoiding all the retards with their last minute jockeying as it enters the CMJ.
Plenty of fines being dished out so it seems it is being policed. Your comment about lane changing doesn't really ring true to me as you can have exactly the same issues on the 100km sections too - with the dickwads who want to do 120 because that will get them to their destination 0.73 seconds quicker.

I find that colour combo works really well with vape clouds.

Oh ffs. You’ve gone completely native haven’t you?
Vaping is pretty high on my reasonably innocuous things that drive me into a homicidal rage list .

You get it less in the 100kms stretches, as most people doing more then that are in the right lane already. It's quite a messy stretch of road, you may be right the speed limit might not change much.
I take the ports exit so have no choice but to change lanes quite late in the piece unless I want to sit in the far right lane with some dickhead trying to do 120 up my arse the whole way.
