Attention to all over enthusiastic drivers:
When it comes to challenging someone on the road, it's crucial to exercise caution and consider the following points. Not everyone wants to engage you in a race, and it's important to respect other drivers and prioritise safety.
1. Assess the capability: Pay attention to the width of the tires and if they are street-legal semi-slicks when approaching a vehicle from behind. This can often provide insights into its performance capabilities.
2. Consider the exhaust system: While a loud exhaust system might indicate modified performance, it's important to have a deeper understanding of what you're looking for to avoid being misled.
3. Observe suspension modifications: A dropped suspension is a common modification among racing enthusiasts. Identifying such modifications can give you an idea of the driver's interests and potentially their skill level.
4. Age and experience: When you pull up next to someone, consider the age of the driver. Older drivers, especially Gen-X, may have more experience and resources than younger drivers, making it advisable to avoid unnecessary embarrassment in such cases.
Safety caution: It's important to note that older drivers may have certified and warranted vehicles. Their cars are likely to meet safety standards and have proper maintenance, ensuring their reliability on the road.
Remember, road safety and respect for others should always be a top priority. Drive responsibly and be mindful of other drivers' preferences.

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.
