Speeding
Coming back from Hamilton to Raglan an hour ago, three of us in slalom the entire way, 5km before raglan, I see a flash for the first car, second car, and myself as a third, looked to be a speed camera
Not sure if I didn't notice before, or maybe I was stuck behind someone slowing down that knows the area each time before
Went onto the Google's, and sure enough there's a speedcam
Do the crime, pay the fine, all good
What was interesting, is that recently, the entire of NZ has changed its speed triggers.
If you are going 1kmh over the speed limit, 30$ fine, and so forth every 10kmh afterward
600k in fines for 2021, pushing 3mil for 2022 from the new system (entire country)
After talking shit with my airbnb host that lives in the main house, turns out there was a section of road that was changed from 50kmh to 40kmh a few months ago, and then changed to the new 41kmh fine system
A SINGLE speed camera got 600 fines in a matter of X HOURS on the first day
Man I had a chuckle at that, if this was Vancouver, there would be riots
Now I wait for my Xmas present and find out how much over I was
I don't even know the speed limits of the roads, I just follow suit, it's impressive how 90% of the population here just bombs it down the windy roads.
They have "slow driver" sections everywhere, and 3/4 people will actually pull over, let everyone pass, and then get back into "traffic"
Non speeding....
aaaaaaaand the weather is rain for 7+days fuck
