Alternative headline: National to spend $30m to sacrifice some of your lives so our trip is slightly faster.

The changes have been endorsed by transport researchers and street safety advocates as effective measures to help reduce the number of Kiwis killed and injured on the roads.

That's all there is to it.

We moved where the work was so family all live a long way away, so we spend many evenings driving to visit. They aren't exactly common but I think we probably go through one a year on average.

Thats me and my spouse's excuse for not visiting my in-laws. They are genuinely unpleasant to be around for any length of time: so we don't.

Haha I'd use that excuse too if I needed to. Luckily both families get along and are generally pretty enjoyable to visit.
