Deathwish this morning on SH58.

What I hate is that the yellow-line monster has painted that whole damn road.

There are places where a pass can be made safely (crossing the centre line, where visibility is good etc) but they've gone lowest-common-denominator * and just said "nah, nowhere".

And the roads too narrow to pass within the yellow line.


(* which is probably a good thing, in some places.)

Females doing stupid shit on the roads? That's an understatement mate.

Dont you believe it! I for one have seen some two wheeled females do just as dumb shit as our male counterparts.....just saying

hmmm - yes, I recall a Japanese woman...last seen on a Ducati 600 who was into kamikaze riding tactics........

10am this morning. My daughter's driving west on SH58, along the twisties next to the inlet (all double-yellows), and she meets and oncoming bike on a blind corner, tanking towards her and he's completetley on the wrong side of the road whilst overtaking a truck on the corner. He came within a millisecond of a major head on, and, luckily for him, she was sharp on the brakes. Certainly scared the cr@p out of her.
Little wonder that the police, ACC and other groups are showing anti-biker behaviour when fcuk-wits like this guy are loose on the roads.... OK, rant over !!!

I've had the same thing happen while driving my van west on those same corners only it was a car overtaking a line of traffic say 5 cars on blind corner I braced for Impact how he didn't hit me I still don't know. Fuck wits travel on a range of different forms of transport including public.
