Passing on the no passing yellow lines?

[BoristheBiter]

It is you who needs new material. The same old "abuse people so you feel better" is particularly poor behaviour. Stop being an asshole.

It's because i have been to the dangerous bastard school of posting.

the law is an arse, blablabla, speeding doesn't kill, blalblabla, i'm gods gift to riding, blablabla.
Get some new material.

Here ya go then: go fuck yourself, cock.

I think I've said it before, but the mere fact you crossed a yellow no passing line would not constitute dangerous driving.

It requires more than that in relation to time, place, and circumstances.

yup, it's not considered passing if the vehicle is parked, and it is only the act of crossing the yellow line while performing a passing maneuver that is an offense, though not staying within your lane is also an offense, so crossing the yellow without a good reason would be dangerous driving

And while talking of Yellow lines look at these:

This is a bit of a hazard for all motorists...

I honestly believe that this is the single worst behaviour of motorists in New Zealand, "not keeping left" appropriately!

Are you trying to tell us that you guys have discretionary powers back again?

I thought your bosses had instructed you to book the maximum every time!

Or was that just while Liabour were in power!

[red mermaid]

This has got nothing to do with our bosses.

A dangerous driving charge goes to court and is subject to an objective examination by a Judge.

And there has never ever in my living memory been an instruction to 'book the maximum every time.'

I wouldn't waste your time.
I have found since my last thread that no matter what you say these fucktards will go on believing and spouting the same old shit as they have always done because it suits their ideological ranting.

[red mermaid]

Yeah, I know but they can't say they haven't been told how it really is and sometimes you can score a wind up and someone will go off on a rant and restore my faith.

Have you ever thought of pulling over and stopping before your driveway, letting the following cars pass and then pulling into your driveway once there is no one behind you?

I thought that is what indicators and brake lights are for, but now we have to give way and drive for people behind us.

[red mermaid]

No, its called defensive driving.

Unless you enjoy having your car smacked up, arguing with the insurance company, finding a good panelbeater, waiting for him to get parts and then wondering if your car will be repaired as good as it was before the crash.

And here was me thinking that from all the gospel on here, KBers were the original defensive drivers.

Really, and heres me thinking your creating law.

[red mermaid]

Parliament creates law, and as you indicated in this case the following vehicle would most likely be at fault in law, but that doesn't solve your problems with a smashed car and getting it repaired.

If you could but see then you would know that is in no way possible, there is no room. Oh i could mount the footpath but then I'd most likely kill a pedestian....

The powers that be are incorrectly using yellow lines as traffic calming tools, as that is the cheapest option, not necessarily the correct option.

I think that would end up being counterproductive....

Coming back form Motueka the other day I was stuck behind Granpa with his foot down...doing 70k. I was unable to pass as it was double yellow lines....the road is flat with visiiblitly being clear yet one cannot overtake....by the time I could get past darling Granpa there were and additional 15 or so cars!!!! I would guess that of the 15 cars at least one driver would be getting his/her grump on will then overtake in a dangerous manner.
