A tip - be very careful if you choose to drive in NZ. The driving can be akin to a stock car rally!
NZ has a high death toll rate, and a very high crash rate. Seeing cars coming towards you can lose its novelty quickly, and tail gating is common place. Man it can be scary! Cyclists be especially careful, the concept of giving cyclists a little extra space doesn't exist. Don't be alarmed if you see people shaving, reading, drinking coffee, using hand phones or even having their supper with chopsticks, all at over 60kmph!
These are all real examples, and there is worse. Drink driving is common. Despite all that it's a pretty place.
