Season 8

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.

Mail thieves on the run in Te Puna, drinking while driving, and an hour after being disqualified for dangerous speed a driver is back behind the wheel.

A crash turns a local kindy into a drive-though, there’s foam flying off a trailer in a gale, and a restricted driver speeding in a convertible is pushing his abilities and his luck.
