Where's the boat ramp?

[unstuck]

As seen in Te-anau, not sure how they mistook the main road as the boat ramp.:rolleyes:

What's the fine for insecure load? :msn-wink:

Fine who, looks to me like they have done a runner. No sign of a trailer or tow vehicle.
Anyway, all the coppers from Te-anau are busy sitting on the five rivers to mossburn road waiting to ticket paranoid motorcyclists for going 1kmh over the limit.:innocent:

Well it's parked by a school zone. Perhaps expecting fish :eek:

only five locals, the rest are imports so don't count. Fish food is what the other 10 thousand inhabitants are.:bleh:

I suspect the vehicle and trailer are parked up on the lawn next to the photographer - see the chap by the boat in the black singlet - he's looking directly at the photographer.

He is most likely thinking how the F will I explain this to her ..... looking at the dejected stance of the bloke in blue T - he's involved too.

Sooo - who was in charge of securing the boat to the trailer?

In 1978 the fine was $35 for having a 44g drum of oil fall off the truck and split around the rim. Oil all over Ellis st Frankton. Fire service just spread foam on it then hosed it all down the storm water drain. No other costs.

Might be a bit more to it these days.

Gentlemen, are you speaking from personal experience?

That was then....but NOW, I would say you breached council by laws, they will contact EPA, they in turn will say you've breached HSNO, not secured, labelled and correct containment, ..sigh... and you will then cop a fine in environment court and the Fire Service will bill you for a special service....Nice, you have gainfully kept many employed...:)

You forgot Health & Safety if you were in a company vehicle ............


Basically at work you now need a instruction plan to zip up your fly.

The boat ramp road show has hit the highway eh.
Be nice for those inland folks to eventually get a share in the laughs summer boaties so generously provide :niceone:

[unstuck]

Gentlemen, are you speaking from personal experience?

Yes, they swarm from all over southland to patrol that stretch of road. A very lucrative spot one would imagine.:shifty:

[Waihou Thumper]

Naa, no-one was hurt, they will leave it to the EPA as they know nothing about HSNO yet. But are quickening up their pace to learn as it has been handed to them, offloaded from the EPA...:)

[granstar]

If only they had gone a few meters more, they would have turned into a school, problem solved :facepalm:

[caspernz]

I reckon the boat slowed to the school zone limit, but the towing vehicle disagreed. Will they kiss and make up? :sweatdrop

[Gremlin]

Sooo - who was in charge of securing the boat to the trailer?
The other one... oh sh... :facepalm:

[Drew]

It's a nice boat.

I was out on a boat the other day, and the hook at the front latched by itself when the boat was driven on to the trailer. Perhaps this one is similar, and hadn't locked properly.

Well, it can be dangerous. Ever caught your willie in your zip? Much pain!

Try getting a bee sting on the end of it, now thats pain. Mind you the swelling can be impressive.:blip:

Mary

Great clip :shifty:

It's highly amusing having someone recount that experience to you... right up to the point where they do that screwed up face thing highlighting the extent of the pain. It's hard not to relive it with them and kinda takes the edge off the fun... for a few moments anyway :laugh:

When I lived in Te Anau many moons ago a largish trailer sailer was being pulled up the ramp.
Also unsecured......
