This is coming up in a couple of months. Having seen draft plan :mad::crybaby:(descriptor: 3rd world gearing) main addressable problem I see is that instead of making training a priority it is "young drivers" right up top along side motorcycling - they're still going on the parents as coaches...

In so many places there are temporary 80kph signs everywhere, do we really need to follow these signs? Especially when the roads are empty, fully sealed and clean and the workers are all long gone. I'm thinking specifically of the motorway around northcote road and tristram ave. Personally I just...
Hi guys, I need some advices here please. I parked my bike on the side of road against road curb as usual, left at least 1.5 meter to the front car. The font car reversed back into my bike and pushed it over while I was in a shop. Both of us don't have insurance :sick:, so I took him to tribunal....
So my new toy has this awesome tail tidy with a non-government issue number plate (see pic) which I'm assuming is illegal? I'd quite like to keep it as is if possible, so just wondering if anyone else has one similar & whether they've had any hassles with it?

Well, I copped a ticket for passing in the Manawatu gorge today. Leaving Palmerston, and got pulled over in Woodville. The stupid part is that I assumed that operation centerline was still in effect, and basically just owned up to it. The cop mentioned at the end that someone had rung in and...
Many of you will know, myself and a few others have been lobbying for awhile , particularly with regards to Recidivist Drink Drivers. Dependant on what happens with public consultations and select committee hearings, legislation could be changed early next year. What became clear in the final...
I've added this to the 'Drink drive Law Change Thread' but feel it got lost a bit. I'd really like to know peoples thoughts on this idea. Presently it is being mooted to lower the allowable blood alcohol limit to 50mg/100ml of blood from its current 80mg/100ml. ...

Professor Charley Lamb is quoted in The Press today as saying that the Tasman District Police campaign to stop motorcyclists is all about revenue collecting. He further says that instead of revenue collecting the Police should get involved in motorcycle training days. I disagree with him on the...

Hi all, I'm a newbie biker (Suzuki GN250). When there is traffic I wait behind a car, just as if I were in a car. But almost always I see people pass all of the traffic by driving in between lanes, or in the middle of the road. I am happy to do this too. But I wouldn't ever do it if it was...
