Witness needed for car accident yesterday

Sendre from Waterloo

Hi all kindly neighbours, I experienced a car accident yesterday at Queensgate Mall Waterloo Road entry around 10:30am. When i was turning left to the entrance at the left line with indicate, a yellow car from the right line behind me suddenly drove out fast and turned left at the same time and bumped into my car. It rushed straight into the entrance and I drove in and park my car to the left side of drive way not to block the entry.
While I was parking there, a woman came down from that car, had a look at her car and immediatly jumped back into her car and drove away without saying anything. It is a yellow car with black strip on its body and got my car's paints along its left back side.
It was happended just in a few seconds that I was quite shocked. There were other drivers and people who walked nearby at that time. So if there is someone here witness this, please contact me. Thanks a lot!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
