3 he chould kill the driver or injure kids on there bikes > certianly Kill a Motorcylist.:innocent:

.
how could he kill them, he may not even be home, what shit are you sniffing to come up with that theory?

[Berries]

Good on him if you ask me.

[actungbaby]

ho could he kill them, he may not even be home, what shit are you sniffing to come up with that theory?

I must change to uho or You who.. ;-) edited

[jellywrestler]

Um i said he not Ho or are you trying for humour .

1. piece sold concrete moving objects did you even read the news item.

2. time and place . hello i dont sniff or do any of what u sugest i ride a motorcycle

thats enough to make me happy so no thanks to be a dick head glue sniffer .

Thanks for your kind words , but no thanks i dont need drugs or drink . i leave that to you. seems to make u such a happy man so good luck with that.

heres a tip or suggestion just bacause you disaagree with a opinion. fair enough.not saying am right.

U dont try belittle that person Opinion . for one i dont like alot the mud slinging i just stop reading

Most of it . and just doesint regester . or i dont take that person opinion .
, was supposed to be how

fair enough, don't take it personally this is the internaughty after all.
i questioned how placing concrete blocks there could make him responsible for killing someone? if they stick to the road the won't crash, if they crash into his fence they could still die, there are shit loads of obstacles around the whole of our country, with similar impact consequences as those concrete blocks.
years ago i looked at house about three doors down from this one, the weekend prior there was a crash into the same house, the driver did a runner, dogs chased him through the property i looked at....
a mate lived directly over the road, they moved in one saturday, went out for the evening and were burgled while they were out, it's a bit wild in that neighbourhood

oh, it's don't, suggest, dissagree, doesn't and register too.

[Akzle]

i always find amuse how they say "CAR crashes into..." like there wasn't supposed to be a human in control of the fucken thing.

i also find amuse how council say "yay don't speed and SAFETYY!!110111!!!!"

full credit to the man. build it 3 high and embed it with iron spikes and contact explosives.


(i assume this is a residential zone, sub 80km/h - if you can't control of your vehicle then you should not to have it.)

lucky i live where if they crash, i have the tractor... i can pull them out... or bury them <_<


if someone crashed in my concrete I would sue them for damages to my concrete.

[Akzle]

oh, it's don't, suggest, dissagree, doesn't and register too.

up until now i've given him the benefit of the doubt. assuming he's a) germanian and b) probably had a head injury from crashing a motorbike...

1. piece sold concrete moving objects did you even read the news item.



There is an intersection in Cromwell (I lived there for a few years) where a car went through a give way ... narrowly missing another car, but went though a fence and took the corner of his house off.

He built a reinforced concrete post type fence ... and a few months later a car drove into it. The fence survived unscathed ... as did the driver.

Seatbelts saved his ass ...



The actual house ...

Excellent work that man!

Cuntcil are not interested in doing anything until they have formed a sub-committee, then commissioned "consultants" to do a study in that area. That will have to be followed by another consultancy doing a peer review of the first one, at which time tenders will be put out for contractors to "do something" --- normally involving putting up a signpost.


Yup. Fuckin' big concrete blocks with steel spikes on the bastards!
Even better is if the concrete blocks are on top of some council members.

You missed that the residents association will complain they were left out of the decision making process....and ask for the blocks to be removed.
But if jelly says it's a rough neighbourhood it must be pretty rugged...So I'd guess no residents assn.

I've seen the corner on TV and IMO he did the right thing putting the blocks there. I would have too.

Paint them Day-glow Orange or Yellow ... and nobody can say they didn't see them (before they ran into them) ...

Few will run into them twice though ...

there is another in Otara, a mate of mine was sick of late night drunks crashing into his fence/house. Reinforced fence with some steel offcuts.
cars bounced off fence after dat. :laugh:

I had a and a neighbour who kept cutting across my drive/lawn to get to his place.
chucked a 250+kg rock on my side of boundary, sorted the one out later that night.:laugh:
the rock didn’t move......

[jasonu]

Let's not forget the iwi.

I'm doing my best to do just that.

[russd7]

had a neighbor who's letter box kept getting targeted (Rural) and bowled over, knew who was doing it but couldn't prove it so he put a big paice of concrete in the ground with a piece of railway iron for the post, council made him take it out because it might do some serious damage if a vehicle hit it, kinda thought that was the point

[pritch]

its not even his land


Sorry dude gotta disagree. Whoever is responsible has done nothing, so he came up with his own solution. He should not have had to, but TPTB were missing in action. The fact that lemmings are still crashing there shows he was right to do something.

Better the congenital idiots write themselves, or their cars, off than that they torpedo his house and take an innocent life.

[WALRUS]

I just checked out the corner/fence in question in Google Street View (https://www.google.com/maps/@-41.205377,174.9474259,3a,55.3y,338.75h,80.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sChBFbBHr4EPa5m5lcDBfcw!2e0!7i1 3312!8i6656)...

I don't see how someone could stack it on this corner.. Like.. How??

Even if you were hooning around it in your mad, black Honda Teggy, I don't see how you could fuck it up that much?

i used to live just down the road from this place.Its a sweeping corner.They must be absolutely flying round there to lose it.There is a school just back down the road a bit too.I see some speeds bumps coming

have you googled the thing from the air, it's not far off 90 degrees, the school empties out onto another street half a mile away

[pete376403]

Thats funny. Waddington Drive starts of as "lower socioeconomic" (ex state house, decile 1 type area) but towards the southern end (NaeNae road) turns into a hoity toity snob city mcmansions residential zone. If the corner in question was the next corner towards the better end the council would be right on top of putting up "traffic calming / resident protection" measures.

[eldog]

Anywhere near Cannons Creek?

I grew up in an area bordering a similar zone

[Grumph]

6 its not even his land there on . athought i mow the shit out are verge.
its techncally not my job. who cares it looks nice so i do it.

He's responsible for the upkeep of his verge - as are most property owners in NZ.

He's simply keeping cars off it in a little more emphatic fashion than posts and a bit of string...

[FJRider]

its not even his land there on . athought i mow the shit out are verge.
its techncally not my job. who cares it looks nice so i do it.

It may be council property ... but it IS (in the Council bylaws) ... the adjacent property owners RESPONSIBILITY to maintain it.


Give the guy a break ... he was just taking care of the grass ... :calm:

[BMWST?]

have you googled the thing from the air, it's not far off 90 degrees, the school empties out onto another street half a mile away
it empties onto waddington drive and wheatley street.Its a 50 k zone and its a sweeping bend.I have traversed it many many times on several diffferent bikes and cars,note the school to the left,the house in question is in the right background

[jellywrestler]

oops, when i looked at the house the school was over the back fence and i was sure it emptied the other way

[actungbaby]

Yes true that ;-) yeah admit i take alot pride in mine i even mow the guys over the road. esp when been wet weather as he uses a push mower.

Guy next door saw me mowing his and i wasint looking for anything offered me 20 bucks . ever two months its only small as i thought why. not i was going do for free anyways. am not sure i should put 2 tonne block on though.

keep telecom from digging them up. i surpose chould upload videos to his new youtube channel . of councill spiting tacks over it . that be fun.

Yeah sub divided section and theres tiny piece between too drives.
Honestly he has no need to buy a lawn mower so. i do it geezz its only 2 min job. looks alot better. if am doing my lawn i just do what i think needed if i cross the road buzz over . i just think why not. he been good to us got some spuds. dam they where home grown. never tasted so good crime to mash them.

I chouldint belive it . people came out to see. i told what happened.
I went around there they are car parked in middle road wrong way. just walking about if nothing happned . i was so pissed of about them just going into somones area they didnt live there . as on there phones .
So rang the cops when got home . they only did burnout for some 30secs only left mark 15 feet. that was enough blow tire clean of the other rim.
Loooking back might been stolen . why you want do that to your own car.
Mind boogles what people do these days.

No, NaeNae is in the Hutt Valley. Was more or less a sister-city to Cannons Creek at one time, but is becoming gentrified.

chucked was sort of a giveaway-I was being economical with the description it was definitely more than 250 kg
it was dropped off by a 10 tonne truck - no one could move it, by themselves

[eldog]

No, NaeNae is in the Hutt Valley. Was more or less a sister-city to Cannons Creek at one time, but is becoming gentrified.


OK, I have been to Wellington a few times
Havent really got the hang of the layout :facepalm:

Been out to end of Coast Road and to the Waihine Monument (could it have been bigger?) then Parliament, out through Karori to Makara Beach (raining all the way)and up the coast to Cannons Creek, where I got surrounded by the most interesting bunch of people you could want to meet. :facepalm: and further on up to Fielding via Paekakariki Hill road

The bike sounding like a Harley, definitely helped me get away.

Obviously going to have to find Naenae next time...

[BMWST?]

oops, when i looked at the house the school was over the back fence and i was sure it emptied the other way
i think technically you are correct i think its supposedly one way from waddington dr to wheatley st...same diff though cars slowing stopping etc
