Over the last 3-4 months, my trips to/from the city of Hamilton, I saw 7-9 cars lying down in the ditches along State Highway 26.  I found it hard to believe how drivers lose their driving control, or their speed factors on a rainy/wet weather, plain drunk drivers and even passing on the near the bend corner… Here was the recently photo which a car ran over into the ditch next to our place on the 25th September 2015 in the early hours of the morning between 3am and 430am. The photo is plainly reminder to everyone to think twice before driving safety on the road. The police, fire staff even ambulance staff returned to this site around 7am for inspected and file report. We learnt that it was their third trips to this site on the same day.  Today I was travelling along the upgrade Waikato Express Motorway between Hamilton and Cambridge via Tamahere this morning. I noticed one driver who have a dog who was driving behind me on an order of road speed 70 kph along the new motorway while road workers including my partner. The driver is a male and he paid no interest in the speed sign 70 kph instead of 100 kph until the speed sign changed to 100 kph…. However this driver passed me in front and continued to speed more than 100 kph until a plain police car flashed the lights just near Tamahere and Airport Road turn off intersection. We all (the drivers behind us except this guy) passed them (the speeding guy and police officer) and noticed this guy was given a ticket.  Well every messages like advertising on tv, police’s messages etc are not getting to all drivers…sigh………….
