Headlights ON, hipster gimps!

[400sm]

Do you scooter gimps realise that the LAW requires you to ride with the headlight ON at all times!!!

The law is there for a GOOD reason, but l just see you ignorant, law-breaking Retards on the roads all the time.

Let he who doesn't exceed speed limits cast the first scooter.

tell me one from where i see it it's to spoonfeed other cunts, like in the old days when early motor vehicles had to have someone walking in front of them to warn them they were there

It does, sorry. If you ride anything from a large motorcycle to a moped you must have your headlamp on*.

You must have your headlamps on whenever you are driving your moped. This includes daytime as well as night-time. If fitted, daytime running lamps can be used during the day instead of headlamps. (*This requirement applies only to mopeds manufactured after 1 January 1980.)

See that bit where it says "If fitted, daytime running lamps can be used during the day instead of headlamps"; and this other bit "*This requirement applies only to mopeds manufactured after 1 January 1980.". Now mr clever clogs, just what do you think those two bits mean?

That the law requires scooter riders have their headlamps on, or running lamps if they're fitted. If the bike or scooter is pre 1980 it probably wasn't designed to have the headlamp on all the time, but this is the exception not the rule. From my observations, most scooters on the roads in urban centres aren't over 20 years old, let alone almost 40 years old therefore that exception wouldn't apply.

Hipster fuckwits may go for those shitty old vespa thingos though, or they may use DRLs. In any case, Headlights on at all time is not the law.

[scooter1]

Scoot or bike dont be fuck wits.

[scooter1]

Are you the typical ignorant moron who does NOT know the law...and who is probably illiterate too.
There are hundreds of thousands of dumb kiwis like you out there that misinterpret our laws.
READ IT PROPLY.

You do know the relevant excerpt has been posted in this thread already right? And that it clearly says DRLs are an acceptable alternative to using the headlight. I mean, I figure I should help you out, and kb is already oversubscribed to buffoonish irony is all...

Yes so if one does not have DRLs one has to ride with the headlight on, RIGHT?

[WristTwister]

I gave up on this one. The law requiring headlights are on has some exceptions (which only apply to a minority of scooters) so it's not a law. *SHRUG*

Now you're getting it! :clap:

There's also an age (bike/scoot) exception in which neither are required by law.

I was conversant with the law before l posted.
I know about the 1980.
So you admit that it is compulsory for all SCOOTERS (after 1980) to ride with headlight on dip ( or DRL) during daylight hours ?

A scooter is, in law, a motorcycle.
What are the exceptions???

[400sm]

So to all people who ride with their headlights OFF and think it's Legal, once again l state....all scooters (motorcycles) must ride with headlights on at all times.
(Except the .0000% who have DRLs on, or the .00001 % who are pre 1980)

You might want to look up what counts as a DRL, they're more common than you think...

What....on scooters?

[Maha]

I drive the car with the lights on and have noticed an increasing number of cars doing so. No matter what you're on/in on the road, what ever you have to do to make your presence on the road known is up to you.

Who the fuck cares about scooters? :blink:
