What is a Big Band?

"A big band is a type of musical ensemble that usually consists of ten or more musicians with four sections: saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section. Big bands originated in the early 1920s and dominated jazz until about 1950, though different kinds of bands, small and large, existed before and after that period. The fluid nature of jazz prevents precise definitions. Big bands started as accompaniment for dancing."

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?
