Bad Advice On NewstalkZB

Michael from Trentham

Just caught the end of the Nick Mills talkback show on NewstalkZB this morning(Friday, August 13) and a studio panel member seriously encouraged listeners to go onto a website (cogo.com) for a bit of amusement with the website enabling its acceptors to get relative info on their own personality and preferences such as which restaurant would suit them best. The panel member said people joining in would need to offer up their bank account number at which time Mills said that this seems dangerous and he wouldn't do it but the panel member reassured Mills it was all harmless and a lot of fun.
So I logged onto www.cogo.com... and it is a scam and a fraud and could do a lot of harm. Do not go into this website.
I have sent Rosie, the producer of this Newstalk ZB programme an email.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
