The inability to see motorbikes is spreading to the children

[Azi Dahaka]

i was riding down the road past a school and one of thoes kids holding thoes lollypop signs swung it out as i was travelling over the crossing right in front of him nearlying taking me off the bike. :spanking:

it seems that not only do the parents in their suvs have a problems seeing us therefore running us off the road their kids do as well.

will the horror never end

ride in the right hand 'wheel line' and the lollipops dont come out that far.

Then you can just go between them.

Not really the point is it?

Did you stop to tell the 'observing' adult mate?
If the kids not told to do his duty properly, next biker/scooter rider gets taken out

And the kid as well, but yeah the biker probably contributes more to society than the kid so I'd worry about them more.

Crazy kids these days, probably couldn't judge your speed.

Even motorcyclists (just like everybody else) have the same inattention problems as well... http://www.wanganuichronicle.co.nz/local/news/acc-levy-protesters-in-bike-collision/3906571/

Stop with the "us and them" bullshit.

Stop with the "us and them" bullshit.

though this did happen you cannot hold something like this over a kid as it was said their preception isnt fully developed this was ment as a bit of a laugh i am fine the kid is fine LIGHTEN UP AND LAUGH

I can imaging it now - some 7 year old kid talking to his mate over instant messenger:

"yeah - I made a biker shit himself tonight - I waited till I could see the white of the fuckers eyes - then wham - out with the lollipop of death".

or more seriously:

They are kids leaving school - there are not many places where you should be riding any more carefully and self defensively.

If the kids dont get ya, moms in a hurry will run you over in the 4x4's.

I dunno - Michael Jackson sang "the children are our future" - and you cant argue with Michael.

yeh I got hit by a waterballoon at 55k's by some little punks.
By the looks on their faces I'd say they realised what a stupid thing they had done just after it hit me.
Amazingly though it bounced to the ground.
Could have been worse

Young children (such as primary school) don't really have developed enough skills to handle the timing of traffic. Hence they have to be supervised by an adult when operating the crossing. So when the child gave the verbal indication they were going to move the sign, the supervising adult should have instructed the child to wait.

You'll notice they can't get drivers licences either.

Just a maturity thing.

[popa griffin]

I nearly got suspended from primary school because i refused to do the lollipop signs :oi-grr:

Not because I thought id be bad at it.

But because I thought, i dont get paid to do this job, teachers do. :2thumbsup

I had a pair of wee shites do that to me, but the water balloon also travelled on and hit my twins in the back seat...both babies still. I parked the car and they (kids) had left hose going, so I filled up all their shoes on the lawn with water

and you cant argue with Michael.

yes I can!!! the fuckers dead and not going to argue back now is he? :rofl:

I was hit in the helmet by a rugby ball deliberately thrown the very first time I was on anything two-wheeled and motorised. All I could think about was the fact that it didn't upset my balance at all. From this day I was hooked!


(althoug I didn't get a bike of my own until a few years later)

[Insanity_rules]

I was riding through Greytown and some stupid drunken teenagers were throwing a rugby ball infront of traffic. You can guess what happened next. I punched at the ball and it ended up on a shop veranda.

[Gubb]

Hmmm.

No wing mirrors to kick in, did you aim for their pretty little faces instead?
