What is with Pedestrians at traffic lights
Twice in a week I have seen a near miss at traffic lights where pedestrians run across the road against the traffic lights. First one I nearly hit the guy. there was a truck in the RH lane blocking my view and on the green light I went. all of a sudden this guy runs in from of my car. He had 4 lanes to cross and I was in the last lane relying on the traffic lights to give me the go ahead. Then tonight I saw 3 joggers run across in front of a car that had no way of seeing them due to other traffic blocking his view. Once again he had a green light and was in the fourth lane of 4. My heart went in my mouth as I was it all unfold and there was nothing I could do. Thankfully the driver had awesome brakes. Come on people, Your safety is your responsibility

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
