Restoring our faith in humanity, Auckland commuters showed their loving sides this morning when they slowed to a halt on the northern motorway to let a family of ducklings cross.
The New Zealand Transport Agency caught the heartwarming little scene on one of their traffic cameras shortly before 8am.
