Rants & Raves: Driving through car spaces

Anne B says more vehicles should have 'no texting' reminders.

Rant

Drivers who drive through car spaces to the next lane, thus parking in the wrong direction in supermarket carparks. Do they also drive around roundabouts in the opposite direction?

Heartfelt thanks to the awesome people who assisted my father and me at the Kings Arms tavern on Tuesday night. Your kindness and support were overwhelming and we are very grateful to you all. Sorry to interrupt the quiz!

Why do many drivers think it is okay to have their fog lights on in clear conditions? Are they unaware that this practice is illegal? I find bright fog lights distracting, especially in my rear-vision mirror. It would be nice to know that traffic enforcement is doing something about it.

DON'T RISK FATE, THE TEXT CAN WAIT. This is the full-size rear trailer door message on a Sheldrake truck and trailer passing through Hamilton. Whoever thought of this and made the signage is a genius. Every other vehicle should have this "No Text" message too.

Please, checkout operators: stop putting our consumables in the seat designed for young and sometimes grubby small bottoms. Bread may be in a plastic bag but that bag will be placed on my kitchen bench. Also, stop allowing children in trolleys. Very unhygienic.

Here's an incident that really touched my heart: At a recent graduation ceremony my daughter forgot the hood. We were told we could get a spare one from Academic Dress Hire at Parnell. Couldn't find it so sought help. Went into Mike Pero Real Estate office and approached the lady at the counter. Her name was Karen. She Googled the place and advised us to take a taxi. Seeing us so desperate, she said she had time to spare, and dropped us back to the university in time for the procession.
