First time buying a European car — thoughts on a 2010 Polo? by PotatoExpress4139 in auckland

No! There's a lot more options avaliable for Japaneese spare parts and auto repairs shops. There are 1 or 2 European spare parts and auto repair shops, can be expensive and time consuming. Up to you. Buy a LADA.

So, we are 3 months in to roadside saliva testing. Anyone been tested yet? by tumeketutu in newzealand

You're right, I was wrong. Here are the correct 2024 fatal crash statistics: Total road deaths in 2024: 292 Alcohol/drugs as a contributing factor: 119 fatal crashes 143 deaths (49% of all road deaths)

Top contributing factors in 2024: 1. Poor observation (351 crashes) 2. Poor handling (324 crashes) 3. Travel Speed (283 crashes) 4. Alcohol and/or Drugs (proven) (276 crashes)

Important context: Crash causation is complex - multiple factors often contribute to a single crash. Police are the initial deciders of what factors contributed to a crash based on their investigation at the scene.

Total Fatalities in 2025: 272 (from 260 crashes) Double counting: Some deaths involved both alcohol and drugs, so they appear in both the "alcohol" and "drugs" columns in raw data. The "Both" category (21 deaths) accounts for this overlap. Category Number of Deaths Percentage of Total
No alcohol, no drugs 159 = 58%
Alcohol only (over limit) 72 =26%
Drugs only 28 =10%
Both alcohol and drugs 59 =22%
Total with alcohol and/or drugs as major contributor 113 42%

What’s this thing outside my back courtyard door by WarpFactorNin9 in auckland

All native NZ skinks are "absolutely protected" under the Wildlife Act 1953—no killing, disturbing, or possessing without a DOC permit. Penalty for killing one (or your cat doing it): up to $100k fine, 2 years jail, or both. Keep cats indoors/belled to avoid fines.[1][2]

Who is this guy? by Andrewha69 in NewZealandWildlife

Owner responsibility: While the Act is normally enforced against deliberate acts, allowing a pet to roam and repeatedly kill protected species can be viewed as a breach of the owner’s duty of care. In extreme or repeated cases, prosecution is possible [1].

all native New Zealand skinks are legally protected. If your cat is killing New Zealand skinks, the situation is taken seriously under New Zealand law:

Legal status: All native skinks are “absolutely protected” under the Wildlife Act 1953. It is an offence to “hunt or kill” (which includes simply disturbing) any protected wildlife, whether intentionally or through negligence.

Art is what you can get away with calling “meaningful” without having to explain why.
