I love that last one.

Hope the motorcyclist was ok, though.

A great piece of activism if he intends to get the city to do something about it.

Great finale!

You can't tell from this angle why those people all seem to be so stupid. There must be a visibility problem just off screen.

my attitude to design is: everyone is stupid. make it as foolproof as possible.

in the case of road design that is very very true. there is clearly a simple signage problem or visibility problem or white lines in the wrong place problem.

the only time i was stopped for "bad driving" was at roundabout i had driven before, only they had put new traffic lights in there, and the supports of the flyover above me blocked the view of the lights around the ccorner, so i just drove straight through. No crash, not even a near miss... but there was a police car behind me.

He wrote on his little piece of paper that my excuse was i couldn't see the damn light, and i asked "so will they analyse this and conclude that the light is in the wrong place?"

he said "nah nobody looks at this, we just have to fill in the box somehow. it's a formality."

fucking cops. he was polite, but still, he didn't seem to understand how retarded that procedure was.

I should have asked him "so why did YOU run the red light as well then?"... but you know, i didn't want him to search my car.

That's Newton Road, near the heart of the city of Auckland. It gets very busy. The camera doesn't really do the angles justice here. It makes it seem as though it's very flat, when in fact it's quite a steep hill. The cars coming from the right side of the screen are facing downhill, with 2 lanes of cars coming towards them uphill. The right-hand lane of the uphill stream often blocks the view so you can't see what's in the left-hand lane... hence people get impatient and make 'mistakes'. It is a horrible intersection. I find the right turn onto Newton from Upper Queen Street (the road the camera is looking down) MUCH scarier, you have to look across 4 lanes of traffic in both directions.

Would be awesome if this video helped in getting something done about it.
