North Shore bikers!

I did both
but i agree that some of the questions are loaded and i doubt much will come out of it that is positive for motorcyclists (I hope i am wrong)
I am also annoyed they stated that motorcyclists are 18 times more likely to be killed or injured without qualifying it (therefore reinforcing misleading facts)

Most definitely they are and who do you think they get their facts from?
at the end of the day cages hate bikes, ACC hates bikes, so what do you think will happen?

Not a lot is my guess but if it leads to better training for all than it is headed in the right direction.

Its like the court summons i got the other day, i says i might have to sit some driver education. WTF?? driver?? I was on my bike but because it is aimed at cages i most likey will have to do another defensive driving course, again aimed at cars.

But what else can we do?

Looking at the questions, I'm wondering if the North Shore City Council are being used as a front for someone else...???

It's amazing the list of strange things that our NSCC rates pay for....
Everytime I get my rates bill there are a few full colour leaflets showing the different way in which they've wasted our money
Hopefully this bike campaign is not a waste of money, but I would expect ACC or Land Transport to be undertaking this, not the council.

I am underwhelmed. The survey is the usual slanted stuff : forex

As usual, no suggestion that maybe it is cagers who should have the compulsary training. To teach them some rudiments of how to drive.

Surely: "Run more campaigns aimed at drivers, urging them to look out for motorcyclists"

Is a start?

My point was for all road users to be made more aware of and encouraged to follow the road code.
