Cutting the road toll

[dpex]

Funny how the government points out that making day-time lights mandatory should improve motorcycling safety and then completely fails to consider that the same would be true for all motor vehicles.

And no, I am not looking for another shit-fight about this.



I agree whole heartedly. But I do have to point out that Scandinavia isn't a country... anymore, in the good old days it sort of was.

Interesting comment. Just lately a whole swathe of signs have been erected throughout the Waikato, exhorting cagers to put their lights on. Mybe someone in the Ministry of Jelly Fish Brains is thinking.

At our VTNZ in Takanini there was a poster with numbers people could ring or text when observing good riding behaviour of motorcyclists. There were incentives for both rider and texter. Have no idea whether they had much feedback from it. Must go down and ask one day and will post the response.

Unless the reporter is required to front and face those they accuse, that kind of thing only encourages police state informants like Hitler had during his reign.

There has to be a consequence for the reporter or they can be vindictive and remain anonymous! Remember the school pimp?

Are you sure you read my post correctly? If so then I'm not sure how your response computes....

ahhh

but its not about safety , or driving its all about user pays and removing as much as they can from the govn coffers, you cant call the police a SOE , like you can with the Electricity

but you can make it generate own funding ( but this is never said , of course)

If they were truly interested in safety, then we would follow the Canadians rule and train like the Germanic/Nordic Countries , and a healthy dose of Kiwi Attitude readjustment ,,,( see drinking driving )
