Aggressive Driving and Speeding in Housing Areas
What is it with drivers that insist on driving over 50kph in housing areas? And if you maintain the speed limit, they tailgate you aggressively.
Even worse, when you indicate with blinkers and slow down to turn into your driveway, they blast their horn at you, as if you were in the wrong? Do they expect you to drive all the way at 50kph and pull a sharp handbrake turn into your driveway?
Today I encountered one such person. As I slowed down and pulled into my driveway, they blasted their horn while driving by. I blasted my horn in return, and they stopped their car in the middle of the road, a few houses down, obviously looking for a fight. In that moment, I was very tempted to get down and confront that person, but I thought better not be a victim of some road rager.
My only regret was not getting their license plate and confirming the car make/model. I can only confirm it was a white, large SUV, most resembling a Toyota Land Cruiser.
I'm seriously considering high quality rear view cameras to record such drivers. Getting really sick and tired of their dangerous and aggressive behaviour.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
