When push comes to shove ...
A reader writes: "I parked the car outside the gym, locked the door and then watched it roll slowly across the Westgate car park towards a row of cars because I forgot to put the handbrake on properly. I madly started pushing the electronic key and yelling expletives - but I kept locking it in my panic - then I swung around and pushed against the front of the car and guided it to a gentle rest against the front tyre of a Toyota 4WD. I calmly unlocked it, got in and reversed into my space. All the muscle men in the gym gave me a round of applause when I walked in."
Seeing the light does driver no good
Brian writes: " I am driving to work at 4am, hardly any cars on the road, in south Auckland and I'm stopped at lights with a straight through green but I have a red arrow turning right. I wait for ages, so common sense prevails and when there's not a car in sight I turn right on a red arrow, but a police unit sees me, pulls me over all lights flashing and I get a $150 ticket. I can attest that a ticket does change your driving behaviour. Within five minutes, at another set of lights, I stop for a left turning orange arrow and the car behind me goes up my bum and abuses me for stopping suddenly when no cars on the road. Go figure."
