I'm beginning to think that people should have to sit more stringent drivers licensing before driving in Wellington. Drivers are terrible throughout NZ but its made worse by the narrow and winding roads. I live on a fairly narrow and winding street and you get three issues, one is people stop abruptly for oncoming traffic when there is space for them, another is people put their foot down and go through narrow and windy section even though they're blind to oncoming traffic, and the last is if there is only room for one car and you're going through it because you reach it well before the person going in the opposite direction they will come through as well and lay on their horn. Actually that last one there is one person who lives somewhere in my neighbourhood who does it, most people are pretty considerate with each other (i.e. let the person who reaches the narrow part through first and give precedence to people going uphill).
Yesterday I was behind someone turning left on to a two lane road, the person in front of me waited until both lanes were clear before turning into the nearest lane. Sure, wait if you want to turn into the far lane but why wait until both lanes are clear if your turning into the nearest lane? I've seen that a few times as well.
