Dangerous dumb arse drivers

I’m kinda over hearing reckless, dangerous, wheel spinning driving travelling way to fast in and around Paraparaumu and just general selfish brainless driving.
I understand this problem is everywhere but I’m setting up cameras and will be reporting this to the police. I’d appreciate the power of the people (no doubt I’m not the only one getting over this issue) to join in project “pull ya head in”.
Hey I love Motorsport and cars but don’t be a dumb arse, get a go Kart or use Mansfield race track and really enjoy/push it plus it’s way more fun!
If you think the local streets is your play area you will get reported!! I know I’m up to a no mercy no excuses point. I will also be taking plates and ensuring your car /bike is under the appropriate decibel level. Maybe we could start up a neighbourhood nuisance car drivers register? Good old name and shame!

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
