I lived in Taupo most of my life, the place that whenever there was a big event (like "summer") the population tripled. I'm pretty sure I know what lovely tourist drivers are like.

I used to try to snatch a couple of days over summer shutdown in Taupo and driving through Wairakei was like taking your life into your own hands.

Well hopefully the police crack down on tourists on our roads instead of speed limits this year.

I'm pretty sure I know what lovely tourist drivers are like. Sure, but those huge tourist numbers in Taupo get watered down by the large population of awful kiwi drivers and compensated with relatively decent roading. Subtract 90% of the local population, narrow the lanes to about 1/3rd of North Island motorways and double the number of campervans - welcome to the West Coast.

We can all agree that students, particularly first years, are awful. They're like tourists except they hang around and continue to be awful for months at a time.

bobbilljim posted:No actually. You can't talk about anything unless your name is dusty No champ, you can't claim you know about South Island roads unless you've actually been there. It's called discrimination against the stupid and ill informed. Great post though, voted 5 --- BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:No one in the South Island is being racist by driving people off the road and taking their keys, it's actually.... Serious Q here - do you think it is ever morally justifiable to confiscate someone's keys for any reason? Or are you just making a Sth Islanders are really racist joke?

I'm cool with legalised weed but it shouldn't be something you can drive under the influence of or operate heavy machinery, etc. I don't even know how you would measure that.

Alcohol being another mind-altering substance under the influence of which you can't drive or operate heavy machinery.

Butt Wizard posted:I'm cool with legalised weed but it shouldn't be something you can drive under the influence of or operate heavy machinery, etc. You could do some sort of empirical intoxication test (eg. walk in a line, follow something with your eyes) and give law enforcement the power to require you to take a blood test or provide a urine sample if they have enough evidence to suspect you are high while driving. A chemical sniffer would also be a possibility. But in reality a lot of people will find ways to get around these or it will be so sparingly enforced that it'll be as widespread as drunk driving.

Risk of a miscarriage of justice but they couldn't say how much of an impact the information would have made at trial, written submissions to be received regarding whether there should be an order for a new trial to take place? It was like a Privy Council announcement in an American sports arena.
