Kiwi?s are lovely people except when behind the wheel of a car. Every day I see pure ignorance and, quite frankly, dangerous driving. Not say I?m perfect at all but I was surprised by the poor standard of drivingout here. Yes I am English and yes the kiwis I tell my thoughts to agree with me.

A little courtesy goes a long way. I let people pull out and thank other drivers if on the rare occasion I am let out, but it is very much a look after yourself culture here.

Riding a bike would scare the pants off me!

Still love the place and the people.

If I knew the hoons lived up that driveway, I'd consider salting the drive with caltrops.

It looks like the answer to that is "No". I hope the suspense doesn't ruin your holiday, MB.
