Wesley Faleolo made this Official Information request to Auckland Transport
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Wesley Faleolo to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Wesley Faleolo
Dear Auckland Transport,
after weeks of deliberating on an incident that happened on the 15th May it has been brought to my attention that I have a duty to seek video evidence footage to confirm that I may be a victim of road rage from an irate erratic and reckless driver who seemed to have purposely nudged my vehicle with his service vehicle (with solid steel tray) - when he swayed into my lane to damage my vehicle with his steel tray. This incident occured after giving way to the vehicle after being tailgated at speed on the fast lane after the Habour Bridge, following my lane change to give way to the speeding vehicle - the vehicle also decided to follow my lane change onto the 2nd inside lane then decided to overtake me on the inside 3rd lane and swayed unto my 2nd lane to nudge my vehicle on the front right hand wide then continued onto his 3rd lane.
Date: 15/05/2023
Time: Approx 10:50am 10:55am
Road: North Bound Habour Bridge (just passing Onewa Road Off Ramp)
Vehicles - White Service Vehicle with Water Blaster equipment - Ford Ranger - Rego plate GSF213.
No Damage to Vehicle from incident
My Vehicle - Brown Nissan Skyline Rego Plate PQR785
Damaged RHS front side Panel - where corner of steel tray collided.
This incident needs to be investigated to ensure it is not found to be deliberate. If the footage suggests the driving is dangerous and threatening to the public - that the law should intervene in that this type of rage from the drive does not continue as it can lead to cause serious if not fatal injury. I will be using this evidence to provide to local authorities to allow them to investigate if the crash was deliberate.
Can you please provide footage of the incident.
Thank You
Yours faithfully,
Wesley Faleolo

Kia ora Wesley,
We are unable to provide you with the information you asked for.
On 5th of June 2023, you asked for CCTV footage for North Harbour Bridge
(just passing Onewa Road Off Ramp) (15th of May 2023 between 10:50am and
10:55am).
Unfortunately, we have no footage available relating to your request as
the footage has been overwritten. We only hold footage for up to seven
days. Footage from 15 May 2023 had already been overwritten at the time of
your request (5 June 2023).
Your request is therefore refused under section 17(e) of the Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA), as the
footage does not exist.
We apologise for being unable to help in this instance.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review how we’ve responded to
your official information request. You can contact the Ombudsman
at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
