Bad bus driver/s
On my way home tonight I had an encounter with 2 buses racing up Pakuranga Highway.
The incident occurred at around 6:20pm with 2 Howick and Eastern buses racing each other up Pakuranga H'way at speeds of around 80km/h. This happened during peak hour, between the Highland Park center and Cascades Road, heading toward Pakuranga Plaza.
The obvious disregard of the road rules and the fact that pedestrians and drivers are out to unnecessary risk is absolutely unacceptable.
Has anyone else had such encounters? Do the speed limits and road rules not apply to the bus services? And..How do we go about reporting and preventing this happening in our neighbourhood?
Not impressed.
