    Quick Road Code poll

    My little brother just failed his learner test, here's one of the questions I think is a bit of a cunt! I also have no idea what the answer is supposed to be.

    Im assuming its 2 metres? I think some of these questions are stupid, how the fuck do you know your exact distance away from something like that?
    that said, fuck them, theyre not people. theyre cyclists.

    when they are girly cyclists though, I like to ride closely past them, and give them a solid whack on the rump. always good for a laugh.

    It all depends if you want to kick their arse while passing
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    Not idea what it is, first question that came to mind, well where is the fucking cyclist? if they are in the middle of my lane, 2m probly isn't an option!

    I dunno, you're taking a risk there, isn't is a bit hard to tell the difference between girly pedlys and effeminate male pedleys?

    At 50 bucks a test I reckon most would!

    He also got the right hand unmarked intersection rule wrong, so will be copping some flak for a while, me and my older brother have gone through about twenty tests with no failures, so it'd be rude not to

    1.5m is what the book says. I've seen it on signs next to main roads as well, probably the "Don't burst their bubble" ones.

    Close enough to grab their arse if it's hot?

    50 is the re-test, first one was bout a hundred I think. And 30 bucks for optometrist's tick, their machines don't work with glasses (columns swap around and go all blurry), and I wonder why they can't just have some letters on the wall to read instead.

    Absolutely!

    The signs say 1.5 metres. It's to stop getting their blood on your bike when you squash them...

    Don't know why he should fail for that, hardly anyone does know. In fact, if you go by the rules you'll have an accident. Several times I've had people make mistakes at unmarked juctions and spoke to them about it, usualy it's a know it all cunt and they are sure they are right. I used to carry a road code book to show, but that didn't impress either. Fuck 'em I say.

    Depends on if they are riding 3 abreast.

    Then the 2 on my left and the 1 on my right as I cut through them will only be about 500mm each side if they are lucky.

    Had to do the above on the Paekakariki Hill last Summer. Had the cheek to give me a blasting at the summit too...

    If they fall off after I pass them It aint my fault they can not ride a pushbike.
