It’s a rough start to the New Year in for drivers who are still affected by the Eve’s partying.

A pirate runs aground on his way home, perilous parking in Nelson, and a bumper stumper with three different license plates.

Salmon secrets from a speeding fisher, a truck tumbles over a ledge, and a lame mustang blocks traffic on a Taranaki highway.

Woolly road hazards in the Maniototo, bikers behaving badly, and a driver with a fake license.

A tractor roll-over requires an urgent helivac, then flooding hits the Tasman region and travellers get cut off by the rising waters.

A truckie’s seatbelt and safe driving save his neck when a tyre blows, and a cellphone spotting exercise uncovers far too many drivers typing and swiping.

The Italian supercar and the Aussie superstar, and there’s magic in the air when a minivan driver is found with mushrooms.

Why the chicken van crossed the road in Motueka, a kayak rescue at Ōhope Beach, and two speeding tickets in one trip.
