Times are changing Dean, a lot of the regulations are from a different era. You are probably right about the South Island, and most of NZ for that matter, but Auckland is different. I also agree with you on the drunk drivers, again probably left overs from the 60s and 70s, younger people seem to be more aware. It is not so much the age as the standard you set, and police for that matter. After the merger of Police and the traffic units NZ roads were left virtually unpoliced, you could speed with impunity and not see a police car. Now this has changed, and most of us would like to see fewer police on the road. Personally, I would like to see them catch red light runners and educate drivers who can't merge to safe themselves. But so what, it's just an opinion so don't lose any sleep over it. We all have our pet hates. I wonder how may drivers I manage to upset during rush hour traffic, when I am moving and they're not. I still haven't upgraded the horn :-).
