TO THE POINT
I have an issue around approaching traffic lights when they turn orange. Should I stay or should I go? Here’s an idea, paint a simple orange line across the road twenty metres or so back from the intersection. If you’re behind this line when the light goes orange you stop, if you’re in front of it you go. CHRIS LAKOMY, Waikanae If two driverless/autonomous/ whatever cars collide, who is responsible? ROD SHAW, Te Horo Who else is sick to death of a neverending diet of rugby union? The infantile display of booing directed at the Aussie-Kiwi Quade Cooper during last Saturday’s International at Westpac Stadium, plus the fact that the All Blacks are so far ahead of the opposition on the field of play, and voila – the ultimate recipe for being bored to tears.
JOHN SHONE, Picton Given the chaos that has resulted from the construction of a cycleway along a wide street in Island Bay, it is easy to imagine the absolute destruction that would be caused by the construction of a light rail system along the main arterial routes of the capital. Supporters are deluded. MIKE WILLIAMS, Tawa
Why QMS needs reform (August 29) had it right, but we’re not going to see reform because most of the quota is now held by the country’s most influential business investors, whose only concern is maximising their investment. If the quota had been required to stay with the boat and fishermen that received it the quota would be in the hands of people who had a vested interest in the health of the fishery.
CHRIS BOWEN, Lower Hutt The ongoing round-about problems facing many motorists today,could easily be resolved if the law reverted to the commonsense version of straight through traffic not having to indicate at all.
