    Oh English. I was still in 'confusing the ACC' mode.

    Would using advanced bike stopping zones work here or would the PC cycle folk raise Hell?

    I can't see any benefits to cyclists, they will just feel pressured by a vehicle in 'their' space. What do you mean by sympathetic anyway? Bloody freaks.

    Does it mean that filtering is to be encouraged or motorbikes will be allowed to use cycle lanes? The only time I see it being an advantage is if you have more than two bikes filtering up to the front and they can spread out when they get there. Nothing worse than being in a queue three or four bikes back between two lanes of traffic when the lights go green. It happened once in Dunedin, honest.

    It all depends on how much lycra you are wearing.

    Won't work..... stupid cagers would just pull forward into the cycle box.

    Was on a dual lane road today and BOTH the cagers in front were in the pedestrian cross area.

    I currently use the green boxes all the time, I thought the sensors installed in those areas were better at picking up lighter vehicles.

    Point well made

    I still think if your vehicle isn't registered or WOFed then it shouldn't b on the road

    Probably raise hell, HOWEVER..... should the Govt. finaly grow some 'round ones'? They ARE vehicles on the public road, and about time they were at least 'registered' so as to pay some of the rehabilitation costs they also incour.

    I use them all the time.
    I had a car driver inquire as to whether I was entitled to use one,once,
    I invited him to go fuck himself.
