Wellsford to Takanini at 32x

Low pass

Papakura delivering on the Double Rainbow front this afternoon

The daily struggle is real

Those roadworks seem like they're never-ending. Consequently, so do the queues. 

Waterview Tunnel

It's finally open. And as predicted, already struggling with the traffic flow.

Crosstown Traffic

A snapshot of how much time I spend navigating Auckland's mobile parking lot on a typical day, condensed to 32x. 

From further in the archives - Random driving videos

I can't remember why I even have these. I think the plan was to make some kind of time-lapse video with them, but I obviously never got around to it. So here are some completely pointless raw videos. Just because. 

Dunedin, ~2009, in the mighty Escudo. Only a select few could manage to work that gearbox, which ultimately left me stranded on the way to a job interview about two years later. It also rode like a tank, and lost traction like no other car.

Auckland, 2012, driving back to the city from Warkworth. There seems to be a theme here: the Golf soon blew its gearbox and set me back $4,500. Asian imports all the way from that point.

Another near-miss with a Ponsonby stereotype

Zero spatial awareness: Check

The Dominion Road roundabout strikes again

Yet another accident at the Dominion Road roundabout, quite possibly one of the most hideous pieces of road in Auckland. Luckily the kid seemed to brush it off. 

The weather gods bring the hammer down on the evening commute

First hail of the year. Ignore the faulty date and time. 

Another reason not to own an expensive car

Didn't see that one coming (it was darker than it looks). It earned me a handsome set of scratches/speed stripes right down the middle of the roof. 

Dashcams of Australia

Every. Damn. Friday.

This is what some of the world's worst congestion looks like. 

A+ for tailgating

From today. 

Pedestrians, Auckland style

Way to walk on the crossing, guy

His misguided sense of being right brightened my afternoon.

Auckland drivers - A summary

After about a year of recording, here are some highlights from my little dashcam project. Go Auckland. 

Chucking it down

A bit wet out there today.

In Ponsonby, no less
