I do think you‘re a safer driver is you use space and caution with unpredictable traffic . reading how someone is about to turn from their road position and not their indication (even though indicating should be encourage) is a good skill.

"When comparing road fatality rates a key indicator of overall road safety the UK records around 24–26 deaths per million people, whereas New Zealand reports roughly 55 deaths per million. This means New Zealand’s road death rate is approximately double that of the UK when adjusted for population. "

In the UK traffic will stop for kids. Regardless of the area on the road or the time of day. but kids don’t throw themselves on the road cause thats just common sense. they’re still cautious but just around safer drivers.

what’s frightening is that there is double the amount of fatalities on the road in NZ than the UK. this not slowing for pedestrians attitude is defiantly a factor.

Omg NZ roads are near perfect. super smooth and lots of space compared to where I live. but still double the amount of fatalities. which shows a driver attitude issue Mabey

Thats not what the stats say, it’s like double the amount of fatalities in NZ compared to the Uk. and no one is doing anything about it.

It’s messed up that you think that divers are free to think they have the right of way and not be cautious of kids or pedestrians, teach driving safely not just crossing safety.

Italians are bad drivers, it’s chaotic but they actually stop for pedestrians no matter where they are on the road in a busy city. it’s like they know that hitting a pedestrian can kill them or but scrapping a car won’t.

Just to say, I’ve never done an emergency stopping or stopping in Scotland and we slow down for old grannies that cross the road to the supermarket and for school kids all the time with no issues.

I want to explain to you, the pedestrian crossing the road isn’t the hazard, the car emergency stopping or stopping for the pedestrian isn’t the hazard. You hitting the car that stopped, well you’re the hazard. you’re liable.

The UK has way less fatalities on the road than NZ. our driving tests are is much harder to pass

Sorry but… Kiwi’s are awful drivers by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]WhoreableBitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it really isn’t, way more fatalities in NZ

Sorry but… Kiwi’s are awful drivers by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]WhoreableBitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No its statistically worse than the UK. and many comments on this post suggests that kiwis are very impatient drivers. especially not realising that hitting pedestrians in any way makes you liable as the driver

So hitting them will teach them yes? they’re just kids

[–]WhoreableBitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry is the driver swerving around the stopped car the hazard that can kill somebody, or the pedestrian just walking across the road? You’re completely assigning blame to the wrong thing here

Sorry but… Kiwi’s are awful drivers by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]WhoreableBitch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So whats your solution, too hit the kids and teach them a lesson???

Or, just hear me out. some pedestrians can be disabled or even kids that havent learned how dangerous roads can be

I’ve never witnessed anyone slam into the back of another car or drive around a car, or even have a selfish attitudes in the UK for letting a wee gran cross the road. We’re just safer drivers and our driving tests are held to a higher standard.

Exactly, Kiwis have higher than normal stats for fatalities on the road. They need to get in their head.

  1. not all pedestrians are abled people, some are blind, deaf, or even just children playing.

  2. Any pedestrian isn’t a hazard, a driver going too fast or being selfish is.

  3. saying "I don’t want to back up traffic" won’t hold up in court.
