We have a live TruckCam here in the UK that streams live to the net.

Jono #11 - "Its a bugger that I didn't have one on my car when a Canterbury Waste Services Truck threw up a stone onto my wife's new 307. And before you say " Insurance " It put a donking great dent in the bonnet before blowing the windscreen." I hear ya bud, but that isn't the fault of the trucking company if they have mud flaps that meat CoF standards. Your beef is with local govt who paid ?(Higgins???) to seal the road or not sweep it after creation.

@Jono - you sir, are a chump. Stones flick up from the road, even from your car! Get a life!

In the 4th video I think the truck is also at fault for pulling over to the verge and encouraging the white car to pass against oncoming traffic. White car still shouldn't have done it though...

Mum 2 #9, this isnt the rule, just a common poor practice that has unfortunately become the norm.

Christopher # 20. Agree but the police should be prosecuting BAD driving, not just being petty about prosceuting 51kmh in a 50 zone to get their conviction rates up.

It is unfortunate that we are a international laughing stock when it comes to the standard of our driving. the fact that there is no legal obligation for testing of the people TEACHING our children to drive would be funny if it werent so deadly.

The mentality of driving here is terrible. I have personally witnessed POLICE cars driving through a 30kph limit on a construction zone without sirens or lights. When gestured to slow down by the road crew they promptly flipped the finger and told them to F off. Great example coppers. idiots.

As an expat who returns regularly to NZ, I am appalled by a system that has cars allowed to do 100kph and trucks etc doing 80kph, all trying to share the same road space. Totally idiotic! No wonder you have dangerous overtaking and other risk taking on NZ roads. With (mostly) modern trucks on NZ roads why can't they do 100kph like the rest and help cut the dangerous driving. Maybe its too simple a solution. Has it ever been tried?

The traffic division of Police force must become more ruthless. More unmarked police cars on traffic duty; no more warning tickets; focus on the arterial roads; lean on young people driving cars with clearly no suspension (must be an unsafe vehicle), noisy exhausts and bad road manners. Lets have a more rigorous enforcement of road law and let the consequences do the work.

It's so shocking but I am very glad to see finally we have video footage, as a motorcyclist and push biker on a daily basis I feel the most at risk by poor car drivers, the amount of people that fail to give way to me on either back is enraging on a daily basis and at the end of each day I wonder, when will some idiot actually get me, when will my name be in the paper as another dead on our roads due to someone running a red light, overtaking with oncoming traffic or running 3 wide and failing to give way through round abouts.. its disgusting and if the police don't follow up on this video footage I would be more than shocked and disappointed.. these people caught on film should have their licenses suspended for a couple of months.. idiots..

I am a taxi driver and i can till you hundreds of this (driving hapits). I am polite i cann't say a bad word .....lol.

Try driving in a real madhouse... Bangkok. Then you will realize kiwi drivers are great!

From my unerstanding the cameras shown on TVNZ and other channels are available only through Lumley NZ. Our friends just bought one through their local Lumley branch so we followed suit. If you want one I would suggest contacting your local Lumley branch. We are not insured by them but they still helped us out
