Letters to the editor: Those who don't use smartphones need lanyards

I don't doubt that Covid-19 is a serious threat.

QR codes are fine for those people who can handle modern cellphones.

I was happy signing in at Rotorua public library yesterday where they provide a slip of paper to record your details and then post into a small box.

I decline to sign in at those many places where one's name and address is left for all to see.

Some I have seen are clearly nonsense names or addresses.

Can the authorities please bring on the lanyard gadgets which I saw being trialled at Ngongatahā early last summer? (Abridged)

Subsidising others
I agree with what Alister Blair wrote about unregistered vehicles (Letters, February 13).

Police seem to prioritise speeding - which makes the Government more money.

This is another case of the legal drivers subsidising the ones who don't like paying for what they are using.

It is about time this sort of thing was sorted. (Abridged)
