BOY AND MAN RACERS

Matthew from Raumati Beach

Is it just me or are we all sick of these thoughtless racers in and around our peaceful laid back streets in Raumati, my direct concern is Hillcrest Rd which has turned into an ideal dragging strip for all racers, not just boy racers. Please let me know if these humans annoy and concern you as there are alot of children and pets in and around Raumati, one car has already bowled into someones fence as the 'boy' lost control thankfully not killing anyone or pets but what more does it take before the authorities do anything, does someone actually have to die first? this is not being proactive, only reactive and then its too late. I have raised it with Kapiti College as it can stem from students sometimes but there is no finger pointing here as i have seen males of all ages 'fly' down Hillcrest rd and you only have to see the donuts & burnups marked on the road yet the City Council and Police won't do anything about it ie Speed Humps even when this stretch of road has a school college enter/exit driveway and car park.

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?
