No wonder accidents! They're driving on the WRONG side of the road!

As if a giant, distracting, bleeding child's face is not going to cause more accidents than the rain already has...

Ha ha. When will you learn to SHUT UP!

I'd love to see New Zealand if only they'd adopt the current practices of Olde Zealand.

You know, of all the countries in the world, NZ has the best chance of being perfect. All they have to do is remove themselves from the bullshit rules of the "free market." Dedicate themselves to real progress.

Emulating Los Angeles is a losing proposition.

The first rain in a while is always deadliest because oil, exhaust and smog have been accumulating on the roads making them extra slick when wet.

It's okay, as long as they use the blood of sacrificed goats.

The same company should produce tampon adverts. Just imagine a 40ft bleeding vagina.

BEACHED AS BRO!

This year in papakura, there were no deaths during the easter period.

Easter: the resurrection of Jesus from the dead on the third day from his crucifixion.

Atheists: just a coincidence?

The child's just got a moderate case of stigmata.

That's freakin awesome.

+1 Kiwiness.

I'd rather my imagination not go there.

It's not just bad drivers. Why are they so ignorant as to what happens under those conditions? That's the reason they keep having accidents. They aren't teaching the fundamentals of WHY roads become more dangerous when it rains after a long dry period.

Oil and other buildup gathers on the roads and seeps into cracks and whatnot. The rain causes all of this built up chemical pollution to come to the surface of the road all at once and suddenly the road is much slicker than normal. Regular rains help to keep the roads clean so that the oil slick doesn't become too dangerous, but months without rain ensures that when it does rain again, you're going to see more treacherous conditions. Slow down, and realize you're not going to have optimum traction.

This is hilarious if you're being sarcastic.

Wow, you convinced me!

The number of accidents in papakura during easter in 2009 are somehow connected to events in a collection of stories written 18-1900 years ago!

A M A Z I N G

I wonder if Jesus said to the disciples;
"you dudes think this resurrection is the shit, just wait till' 2009 and you live in Papakura, New Zealand. During this period, you will have a 0% chance of being in a car(next big thing, just watch) accident!

Just a guess but I would bet you could get maybe 1 out of 1000 people to admit that driving conditions ARENT worse in the rain. Everybody knows this. I'm not dissing your knowledge of the cracks and the rain and the oil and the what not but its all knowledge that is superflous to the problem.

Just as you burn yourself on an iron or trip on a flat sidewalk or ram your head for the 100th time on a low lying chandelier, people neglect to be vigilant in situations they get used to or when they are distracted. Rain conditions require 100% concentration from everyone on the road not just you as well as up to date maintenace on your car. A sign like that, aside from possibly distracting you in a crucial moment, may stop you from daydreaming or remind you what you need to be doing.
