The past few days, berita utama di sini adalah mengenai had umur utk amik lesen dan 'right hand rules'. Alkisahnya, di NZ, umur 15 tahun dah boleh dapat lesen kereta. So sekarang because of too many accidents, kerajaan nak naikkan had umur kepada 16 tahun. Seems reasonable enough, but ramai juga yg menentang. This people adalah orang2 pedalaman. NZ only have about 4 million people and and 1 million of them in Auckland!! Since NZ ada 2 islands, so boleh bayangkan betapa tak ramainya org bila keluar dr bandar Auckland!! This rural people mengharapkan anak2nya boleh bawa kereta sendiri to drive to school or tolong jaga ladang kot! This brings back memory masa zaman remaja dulu, kalau balik kampung, syok aje naik motor tanpa helmet!! Nasib baik tak mati katak!!! Punyalah tak kisah!
The 'right hand rules' pula its where NZ is the only country in the world yg amalkan!! The rules started when Alvis Prestly died in 1977(this how berita utama start out the news yesterday) and NZ changes the rule for road traffic following Victoria, Melbourne(tp Victoria tukar balik). The right hand rules is :
The car turning right across the oncoming stream of traffic has precedence over the car turning left with the traffic behind it.
Maksudnya, kalau di simpang 3 atau 4, dan kita nak belok kiri, kita kena utamakan kereta yg bertentangan yg nak belok kanan.
It's a bit crazy!! sebab bila kita nak belok kiri, kita kena pusing kepala tengok kereta dr sebelah kanan. Bila tak banyak kereta, senanglah berhenti, kalau tak, kita pun tak tahu nak belok or wait for it. Pada masa sama, kereta kat belakang pun ada. Because of this, lots of accident occur!! Mengikut AA insurans, if we change back the rule- follows yg normal rules seperti negara2 lain, they can save up to $17 million dollars!! huh!!
So if you're going to NZ, please be aware of this. Walaupun skrg nak cuba ubah the rules, belum pasti lagi bila akan berkuatkuasa. NZ roads tak ade highway mcm Malaysia, semua jalan2 kampung. But the view!! fooh..tengok kambing pun jadi jakun!!! hahah..
My mom said, susah nak buat passport sekarang ni sbb passport dah murah dan ramai org nak buat passport!! Sampaikan imigresen JB ada rusuhan kecil sbb org dtg beratur dr jam 5 pagi, bila ofis buka kul 8 pagi, hanya sampai nombor 500 sahaja yg dapat buat passport. Mana tak mengamuk orang, tunggu punya lama tp tak dapat buat!!
Mari-mari org M'sia, jalan-jalan ke NZ!! (hopefully airasia akan sampai ke sini, harapkan MAS, boleh berjanggut nak kumpul duit!!)
