Laidlaw has complained about this particular incidentto Auckland Transport which has told the Herald: "Quite simply this behaviour is totally unacceptable and in breach of the road rules."We have asked NZ Bus for an urgent investigation into the incident.”

对于这一特殊事件，Laidlaw已经向奥克兰交通局投诉了。“这样的行为是不可接受的，违法了道路规则。我们已经要求新西兰公交车对此事件进行紧急调查。”

particular incident：特殊事件

However, Laidlaw said this was not the first time she has seen drivers doing things like this, but finds complaining to Auckland Transport a waste of time, with others agreeing."Ever since I posted the video, a lot of people have been messaging me telling me it's not the first time they have seen something like this either and nobody reports [the incidents] anymore because they know nothing is going to be done about it.”

然而，Laidlaw表示这不是她第一次看到司机做这样的事情，但发现向奥克兰交通局投诉这些事是浪费时间。其他人也同意。“自从我发布视频以来，很多人都在给我发消息说他们也看到过这样的事情。也没人报道这些事，更没有人把它当一回事。”
