    • The road leading into Kaikoura from Christchurch is very windy and you can get stuck behind campervans and trucks. There are few spots to pass on so some motorists can get rather frustrated and take risks that they wouldn't normally to get past slow vehicles. Passing lanes are being built north (near Clarence) of Kaikoura and a couple of long stretches south help to get past so long as something is not coming toward you in the other direction.
