Driving

Dean from Masterton District

I am constantly amazed at the lack of common sense and courtesy many people in Masterton have when driving.

Ladies and gentleman, please USE YOUR INDICATORS!

As a bike-riding non-driver i am not physic. I cannot tell which way you are intending to turn.

This seems to happen a lot on the exits of supermarkets, particularly pak n save and countdown.

Just because you do not see a CAR behind you, does not mean you don't have to indicate.

Also, the amount of mobile-phone using drivers is very saddening.

Come on, people, is that call worth your ( or my ) life?

Thank you and God bless.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
