Can you spot the motorcycle?

1) I can stop a bike if the brakes don't work. How far do you think you can ride when the handlebars fall off.

That's fucking stupid. I would have seen the prick if the site would let me look.

High vis wouldn't have made a fucking difference. The driver looking would have. ACC are complete and utter fucktards.

EXACTAMONDO.
What a freaking pile of crap. Talk about biased. Biggest load of rubbish they have come up with yet.
They can stick their freaking hi-vis where the sun doesn't shine.

That kind of garbage makes me SOOOOOOO ANGRY. Why is it the motorcyclists fault that the car pulled out without looking????

Clearly the questions were written by some fucktard whom has no history riding bikes.
Everyone has bike stories like "the brakes were fucked so I took it easy home" or "the tyre blew out, and I just hung on"......

No bikers I have ever met have a story like
"The handbars lifted in the air, so I hugged the tank and managed to pull over"
its always
'Lying on my back on the bike seat, bars in my hand all I could think was "Well fuck me, now I'm fucked"...........just as the bike began to topple'

Check the brakes.......pffft check the important parts required to ride the bike before you check the ones required to stop it. You can ride a bike with no brakes, no clutch, no lights, no engine, no tank, no hi-viz, no shoes, no pants......not even a brain is required. There are 1000's of photos of this. But how many people you seen successfully riding a bike with no handlebars?

I don't know what you lot are on about, it's representative of New Zealand driving... I came to the intersection, looked both ways, and pulled out anyway.

I think what they're getting at is that the workers in hi vis are easier to see than the rider

I spotted the cutie in the pink top first, and then I ran over the biker! lol

Heres there response to my feedback on this dubious campaign FFS:

Dear Mr
Customer reference no.: AT2011/015363
Subject: Motorcycle safety

Thank you for contacting us regarding Auckland Transport Motorcycle safety campaign. Please find below a response from our Community Transport Team-

Auckland Transport is running this road safety initiative as part of a series of initiatives in the Auckland Transport Motorcycle Campaign. The aim of the Campaign is to encourage Motorcyclists to wear hi vis vests, wear protective gear and to seek training.

Motorcycles are less visible to other road users than cars or trucks, and there is a higher level of risk per kilometer traveled than other modes of transport. Several studies have compared the risk of death and injury for a motorcyclist to that of a car driver. The New Zealand Travel Survey indicates that, on average, the risk of being involved in a fatal or injury crash is more than 18 times higher for a motorcyclist than for a car driver over the same distance traveled (2003-2007 data). This campaign is raising motorcycling awareness to reduce crashes and serious injuries. and fall into an area of High Concern (Road Safety Safer Journeys 2010).

Please note the following statistics

· Motorcycle are 2.9% of the vehicle fleet yet they account for 10% of the fatal and 21% of the injury ACC claims
· Motorcycle casualties have increased by almost 100% from 31^st December 2001 – 2008
Auckland Transport works in collaboration with NZTA, ACC, NZ Police and Community Groups to reduce motorcycle crashes.


Thank you for taking the time to write to us.



Kind Regards

So they are still singing from the same old 2009 songsheet, courtesy of Nick the Prick and ACC.
They are not listening.
