4kmh tolerance for Waitangi Weekend until 29 February?

Putting my rose tinted specs on, I'd rather see no limit, other than by schools and in towns etc... but heavily enforce dangerous driving on the "open" road and A roads. Those who kill themselves kill themselves, I have no problem with letting people do that. Those who are gonna fuck up are gonna fuck up irrespective of limit.

I agree a little. The problem is the dangerous drivers don't always kill themselves but do however kill and seriously injure themselves and others. The taxpayer then picks up the tab for the downstream costs of emergency services, hospitals and rehabilitation etc. There's also the emotional costs of stressed and grieving families to factor in.

You are a waste treatment plant all to yourself.
So you want no speed limit but dangerous driving? Now who's definition of dangerous driving will you use? mine? yours? a cops? you would all still squeal like a stuck pig for getting a ticket no matter what it is for.

And why not do that for drunk driving, driving on drugs, oh hell while we are at it lets just take away the licence system and have a free for all on the roads as those that will kill themselves are going to do it irrespective of rules.

The problem with your stupid brain dead idea is the innocent people get taken out as well and if you are happy with that then fine, a lot of people aren't.
So go and crawl back under the hippy rock and leave the talking to the grown ups.

Don't matter how you reply to a lot of people with that view. They wont read your point, or if they do, assume they have it all figured out better and ignore you anyway.

Arrogance at it's absolute worst.

Yip, I'm a hypocrite too, but admitting I have a problem is the first of twelve steps I'm told.

I drove out to Oxford today, and saw a grand total of three cars heading in the same direction as me on the Old West Coast rd, all three of whom were hovering around 75-80, so I can't really say I agree there.
Having said that, I also got overtaken by a guy who apparently wasn't so worried about speeding tickets (or the possibility I may need to brake while he was a metre or two off my bumper) doing 120+ once I'd gotten onto Depot rd, and the two cars I came across on the way back were also meeting/exceeding the limit, so I guess it's pretty much a matter of luck of the draw.

Traffic pretty much seems the same as it always is - some under and some over the limit, too few at it.

The numpty convention must have been held out Oxford way then. Thought it was too good to be true.

Praps the cops will be allowed to use their firearms you'd shoot a lame horse after all.

Oh dear you've not been fed have you. If you are seen putting others at risk, the popo that is (as they're the only ones that can do anything about it anyway) then that's dangerous driving... same if you have passengers in the car and are deemed to be dangerous putting their life at risk.

As for the rest of your ill thought out moranism... this shit happens anyway, people are already being put at risk by fucktards offering as much thought for their actions as you have in your post. It happens and you're saying that because the limit isn't there that everyone is gonna die as we'd all be blasting around ignorant of our surroundings and of other road users . I think you'll find Nanny State in the third aisle on the left between Communism and Police State.

Grown ups, more like a bunch of Elite egotistical pricks that judge everyone as to how much they measure up to their own pathetic yard stick... get back in your hole and take your shackles with you man.

You sir are a fucking idiot.
You sit on here and whine like the PMS bitch you are (sorry if i offended any ladies) when a cop hands out ANY form of punishment and now you are wanting them to use their discretion for what they would deem as dangerous driving. You get stupider every post.

The speed limit holds most people with a curtain default limit and most seem to be able to comprehend why this is.

On you moron ideology why not just lets us all have a free for all as people don't stop at stop or give way signs so lets take them down and might as well get rid of the traffic lights to as people are running them.

Nanny state in the third aisle? I think you dropped your brain at the door on the way in.

Thanks, that means a lot coming from an obviously drug addled prat... and probably the only thing that you've gotten right in the whole post.
You need to make up some better stories, where's my cop rant? Seriously dude, the sleeping pills and red wine don't seem to agree with you as you're halucinating posts.

Did I say remove all speed limits? Seriously dude, the sleeping pills and red wine don't seem to agree with you as you're halucinating posts. Ooooo deja vu. I understand why the speed limit is there, I'm just questioning its need in some places and if you weren't so baked out of your mind you might have read the post with a modicum of sanity and not the out and out rage you seem to be incapable of controlling. Have a blow instead of the booze man, it'll work wonders.

Interesting idea on the traffic lights and stop signs, but I think that would be going a bit too far, removing traffic lights indeed, it'd be absolute bloody mayhem. I'll bet when you've slept it off and reconsidered your idea you'll see that it needs a little more work... I'd go with not trying that it all... and they call me an idiot .

Did you find it as I've been wondering where it went? Sorry, I should have said Aisle 3, the third aisle coulda been anywhere, from the left, from the right, from the centre and I do apologise... let me know if you find the place, if not, I'll pay for a Brownie to come and help you out

So, from my question, you think I'm a Harley riding, racist, whinging drain on society? That's a question too by the way. You can tell because of the question mark that ends the sentence.

I think ya took it a bit serious, and jumped to a few too many conclusions from imagined implications.

By the way, your post took me ten minutes to read, and can be interpreted many different ways in places.

Yeah I poked fun at ya for it, deal with it. This whole place is a joke, lighten up.

But, the shit slinging is the best bit!

[rastuscat]

I worked for the Coast to Coast. Escorted the leading men and women on my work steed, and did several hours of point duty while wearing full motorcycle uniform. Bloody near melted.

Got abused by a few for holding them up, par for the course. Got thanked by a lot for my work at dealing with the race in heavy traffic. The ones who complained the most had been held up for 3 or 4 minutes, I did the point for 3 hours. Diddums for them.

On the way back to the office, totally shagged from the exertions of the day, I collected $150 from a numpty who drove through a red light. To his credit, he admitted it. I almost kissed him for not argung, but that might have upset Mrs Cat.

Must sit down an write a letter of apology to the people I upset by holding them up, and for not having prepared a personalised traffic management plan for each of them to get them to their destination without delay.

What a nasty, quota driven, revenue gathering donut muncher I am.

Over.

[Gremlin]

I gained a lot from that post Mr Rastuscat. You stood around for 3 hours and were totally shagged.

Clearly your gear is not up to the task, and I suggest gear of a 3 layer design, more appropriate for our variable climate, as the thermal and waterproof liners are separate to the outside jacket, and would allow you to withstand stationary heat better.

Of course, I would actually suggest multiple sets of gear, suited either to warm weather, or cold weather, but then I am a bit of a gear whore.

You're welcome

Visor down and vents open I hope.
