    I find it a little funny that you were downvoted for understanding defensive driving. But I can understand why she would be uncomfortable driving any faster. That road looks thin

      We have a lot of roads like that in NZ too, just barely two lanes wide. Locals will absolutely do 100 on them though.

        I drove a Yaris from Greymouth to Queenstown and it was a really good drive. The whole side of island had one road and it was empty. All the bridges are single-lane.

        Not one speed camera the whole way.

          I’ve done that drive a few times now, it’s one of the most incredible parts of the country.

          And yes, that’s a state highway, considered one of the country’s main arterial roads, and it has one lane bridges.
