when I was young & keen used to achieve those sorts of speeds slipstreaming trucks & yes I have the scars to proof road riding is dangerous.

And yet if I was cruising through town at 50 wearing shorts and a singlet on the TL, people would stare and say I was just another statistic/madman raising the rego fee's for everyone else.
I wouldn't ride in shorts though coz my Legs are too white and I'd distract other drivers.

It was the WRB that prevented them getting back to the correct two lanes.

Sounds like a 21st century explanation as to how its not the drivers fault..(lets just quietly gloss over how we came to be on the wrong side of the barrier and complain how we would have been OK if it hadn't been for that persky wrb..)

It also prevented them from realising they were on the wrong side of the road and therefore stopping and turning around. It prevented them realising cars were coming towards them on "their" lane and it actually caused them to take the right instead of the left as they came up to the expressway...

Certainly! All barriers to 'progress' should be eliminated as they restrict freedom of thought and expression! They create worse drivers by attempting to keep vehicles on the road and facing the right way!

Back on topic, one of my guys wrote another 'holding up traffic' ticket today. Bloke was doing 74 in a 100 k area, with 12 cars strung out behind.

In his notes on the rear of his copy of the ticket the cop had written that the driver had argued long and hard, and was in summary, a 'crap driver'.

Yup, hard to argue with that assessment.

But some of us are restricted to 70kph by law.

If on the open road you tried to own the lane at 70k without moving over to let traffic travelling at the posted limit pass, then you would deserve a ticket as well.

But you're NOT restricted to the center of the road ...

Um, not sure how that fits with the Bill of Rights Act 1990.

Still, I'll keep your note on file, and consider it when we consider alternative resolution for such offences.

Thanks Stephen.

Good for your guy.
Trouble is the crap driver probably felt justified with all the "speed kills", "the faster you go the bigger the mess" and there are no excuses for speed advertising. Being a crap driver they had probably never considered their affect on other drivers.

Talking of crap drivers, just observed a two bike indicating trying to move to the left lane approaching lights, gap to move to but as they move towards the left lane a van noses them out only to both miss the lights anyhow. Poor bigger on the little bike got the wobbles trying to avoid the van but held it together. All this in the wet on a rather nasty down hill. Pity i didn't get the van's reg.
