On Sunday at around 12:15 My mum was returning from shops driving down Marriots rd turning Right into Pacific Rd on coming to the corner and turning another car small Black was turning Left as he did so he took a wide turn and swiped her car smashing her back wheel hub cap scratching all along passengers door and back rear off her car. the driver pulled to the side off the road Passenger in car also took one look back jumped back in and drove off. He had a smashed light. My mum was pretty shaken 2 people came out after seeing the incident. but were unable to get registration. Anyone knows off a little black car that had a accident smashed right side light ...I would love to hear from you. Accident was reported but police were very unplesant to deal with. What wrong with people these days. They could have seriously hurt someone.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
