Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

DECK WITH GRASS

Navera from Mangere

I'm only used to decks with wood on them so never had to deal with grass. What if my new deck has grass only. I wanna be able to use that area as a recreational spot where I can sit and chill. I used to do that on my old deck by sitting on the ground. But i can't do that hear. How can I use that space go social purposes. It's all grass. I'm not a big gardener either. But if I can't be using the small deck into anytning else I might as well learn vegetable gardening. If so well where do I start?
