Auckland man spends $240 a month on taxis to avoid driving on loose chip seal
An Auckland man is spending hundreds of dollars a month on taxi fares to avoid damage to his car from chip seal.

But residents of Ellerslie’s Michaels Ave, which was resurfaced in March, say stones get pulled off the road easily, damaging cars and endangering cyclists.
