Camper Vans And Road Congestion

to use old word vernacular like a penny wise and a pound foolish yes we're going to save some diesel but at what cost to our natural uh our national roading structure because we all know we haven't got enough money even to maintain our roads let alone build some of these new roads of national significance and i look at some of the really good roads in this country and i'm thinking of the highway from auckland down to hamilton cambridge And I think of that Eastern Toll Road out of Tauranga to Te Puke out that way. They're great roads. We need more of those despite what Julianne Jinta says. My only thought would be maybe we could look, and this is once again from driving around central Otago over the long Anzac weekend, we could look at banning camper vans. simply because they clog the roads, they slow traffic and they ultimately slow productivity. Okay. Just an idea. The camper van owners are going to hate on me, but just before you do hate on me, look in your rear vision mirror when there are seven cars behind you, pull over for God's sake.
