$3k for blocking traffic?
Discussion
Did you watch highway patrol on tele the other night? I didnt but a work collegue said a person ran out of fuel and left stranded blocking a lane. I assume in Auckland. Cops fine was $3K 
Not that it matters but it was an Asian lady which I can only assume didnt have the strength to push to side of road or there was no verge to move on to? would you get a fine if on the side verge? And lastly would this be the same if your car just broke down regardless blocking a lane... Certainly makes you think twice about running the car low on fuel on the motorway.

Your all hopeless 
Havent ever ran out of fuel but had an expensive fix from running the MR2 too low on fuel. Back in the drunken madness days all my money was spent on rent, paying off my car and partying as you do !!! I had a bad habit of only putting 10L of fuel and was around $10 back then, and that would see me through for the week if not travelling out of town. The car broke down due to a clogged fuel filter from constantly sucking the dregs off the bottom of the tank. The boys at Timaru Toyota gave me a right lecture and slapped me with a $1200 bill I had to pay off. Oh and Dad gave me a right b
king too 
From then on even today I always fill the car right up - lesson learnt not to be a cheap skate!
