Keep Left Unless Passing - PLEASE

Andrew from Rangiora

Fellow citizens – One is trying to raise the awareness of one of the most flagrantly abused road rules in the NZ code – Keep Left Unless Passing – on the motorway!
The northern motorway is one of the busiest commutes in the region, we all have to use it, sometimes 2 or more times every day but some drivers treat it like their own private driveway..
It is very impolite to cruise side by side along any duel lane road without any consideration of other drivers – it is also dangerous and against the law.
Please – if you want to (or have to) drive below the posted 100km/hour speed limit then stick to the left lane. The right lane is for passing and for drivers that aren’t intimidated by motorway driving, trucks or driving to the speed limit – and for drivers that know how to use their rear vision and mirrors.

For those that are still confused;

Definition of Motorway noun
a dual-carriageway road designed for fast traffic, with relatively few places for joining or leaving.

Safe driving on motorways
When driving on a motorway:
• keep left, unless you are passing
• watch for exit signs
• get into the correct exit lane in plenty of time
• signal for at least three seconds before you change lanes

NZTA need to be proactive and re-install the Keep Left Unless Passing signs that were removed many years ago.

We can all help improve this – take care and drive safely this holiday season.
