Yeah they should go to the post shop and buy 6 or 12 months of registration. I've paid my ACC levies but havent claimed a damn thing, got turned down from ACC because my injury was over a days time, instead of a sudden 'snap'. what bullshit

Thats whats up.
No, next time you should give your brain a little exercise and use some foresight. Going to mates with a crate should be dead giveaway that you're not going to be in a fit state to drive home.
No mother worth a knob of goat shit would murmur any complaint (till the next morning heh).
No, that would be crashing on your mates couch.
I used to live in Titirangi & had to travel Scenic Drive at weekends. In the car I would get stuck behind some cyclists who would continue to ride as a pack, even uphill. Mangy lepers! The considerate cyclists would allow traffic to pass at every opportunity. Yeah, safe & responsible. As has been posted here regardless of vehicle we are responsible for our own actions & should be held to account accordingly. All road users are responsible for safety.
If you want to live in terror, spend a week on a motorbike in the hedonistic, cycling utopia of Amsterdam. A million pedalers with WGAF attitudes.
pointing out the bleeding obvious, but in both of those accidents the cyclists were in no way at fault. Wouldn't it be more fair if the person causing the damage paid the ACC levies? i.e. the motorist, which is what happens now?
How many cyclists kill themselves every year anyway? vs motorcycling? Most of the cycling deaths would be caused by other road users?
And that 'twist of the throttle' seems to get plenty of people into plenty of trouble...
I'd like to have a little bet with you on this one.
If you are stopped by Police on your Push bike and found to over the legal limit of breath Alcohol content.
YOU WILL BE CHARGED with DIC= Drunk In Charge.
There are no if's or butts about this, I'm not going to waste my time looking it up for you, but for your own peace of mind I'd strongly recommend that You do!
Personally I feel that these days cyclists are demanding more and more of road users time and space. Creating unwanted issues of speed restrictions in areas where there is no need for them except for bunches of push bikers riding 4 and 5 abreast causing traffic chaos.
If we don't register/licence them, then we need, at the very least to get them off OUR! bloody roads.We do pay, they don't.
Go away until there is parity or division I don't care which, but it should be one or the other.
No more lets be nice to push bikers, they want to push their own barrows so to speak , thats fine, lobby and pay like the rest of us.
Or heaven forbid, make yourselves as visible as possible and wear the gear and Obey the road rules as they pertain to your group.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
My work truck has picked up some funny noises of late it seems to be a thumping sound followed by Heelllp, every drive shaft rotation, I have found the noise quietens when I turn the Stereo up.
bwahaha! Motorists pay road levies to repair the damage caused to the road by themselves, how much damage is a 15kg bike doing to the road? Didn't the harold say that heavy traffic was only paying for something like 50% of the damage they do?
Anyway, every man woman and child has the right to cycle(amongst other things) on the road, that right is always there unless they happen to be in jail (or on a motorway).
For the privilege of the convenience of driving a vehicle you have to get a license, your license can be removed for being a numpty.
Maybe more arseholes should lose their licenses to remind them of the responsibility that comes with driving 1500+kg of steel, and that the road isn't 'theirs'.
I guess kids climbing trees should be forced to fill in ACC forms and pay up or be banned from leaving the ground as well eh?
