Poll: Is it illegal to have fog lights on when there's no fog?
The answer is yes, it is illegal. And yet in New Zealand it's fairly common to see drivers hitting the road with their fog lights on when it's simply dark.
Those who have sat their written drivers test recently will be in the know, but be honest, did you know it was illegal?

-
59.7% Yes, I know it's illegal
-
39.1% No, I didn't know that

1.2% Other - I'll share below

SH16 The Strand shared use path
From June to October 2025, we'll be constructing a shared use path (SUP) next to SH16 The Strand to improve pedestrian safety and provide a route separate from the road for cyclists along this heavy freight corridor.
Majority of the work will be carried out during weekdays (7am to 5pm) and traffic will still be able to travel along SH16.


Poll: Would you support reducing sick leave to five days?
As shared in an interview today, alongside other sick leave changes, Christopher Luxon said he is open to reducing sick leave from ten days to five days a year. This would reverse the change made by the last government which allows workers to have ten days off for sickness each year.
Would you be happy with this change?

-
15.1% Yes, ten is too much
-
83.5% No, keep it at ten
