Road to Zero
This is an open letter to the NZ Transport Agency
Just a suggestion to help reduce road accidents .... Take this scenario -
I'm travelling in the left lane, approaching a slower moving vehicle and would like to pass. I look in the rear view and side mirror and see that one car, a SUV (or similar sized vehicle) is approaching in the right hand lane, going quicker than either of us in the left lane. As it draws close to me, I turn on my indicator to show my intent to move into the right lane to allow me to pass the slow moving vehicle in front of me. The SUV is now slightly ahead of me as I start to pull out, but unbeknown to me, it has a trailer attached that I had not seen as it was hidden behind the height of the vehicle. Unless I have quick reactions, I will collide with the trailer and mayhem will ensue.
May I suggest that any vehicle towing a trailer that is lower than the vehicle, display a large yellow T on their left side front bumper to alert drivers looking into their rear/side mirrors, to take extra care when pulling out to overtake.
Just a thought.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
