NZ roads are bad uneven road that tilt in swirl an turn one size higher than the other you're leaning into the other car way behind New Zealand

[@easyerthanyouthink]

The roads may not be the best , but the weather also and speed. Many roads are not suitable for the recommended speed. Locals get used to the roads but overall there still not safe at the recommended speed. Not all but many. First fix is to change speed limit and educate people .next fix is fix the roads. But that ain't goanna happen fast or at all.

And National are increasing speed limits. Those poor kids😢 e tangi ana te ngaakau

[@RoniCarbine]

Increasing speed limits on safe we'll designed roads is not am issue. Driving poorly is. Also, large parts of state highway one were increased to 110 by labor, so why bring political parties into it.

@@RoniCarbine this is a tragic moment and it's important to consider that according to the Ministry of Transport, speed is the second largest cause of road deaths. How many more have to die for National's half-baked ideas? Every agency has strongly recommended against the speed increase!

Fix the roads...They are grossly misleading you all. The roads are in an appalling state. Pot holes, resealing and loose gravel every where. Condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. 😢

It might be time for the driverless cars...34 road deaths just in this month still got the entire year to go...what we gonna compare last year's figures with 2024...and we blame drink drivers for causing road deaths, majority are unskilled drivers that cant handle a car driving is a passion a WANT a need a Skill..not a look at me finally got rid of my training wheels...hell no if you haven't got what it takes...catch other means simple...aussies the same when is this going to end..
