Time to ride

I'm planning a visit to Rangiora and I'll drop you my Rego and Description, as well as updates on location on the actual dates.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Yes and its a valid question. What training do the police get in identifying "incorrect riding"?

By the sounds of it, make it nationwide "diversion"I'm actually interested in suggestions as to how I could make this better
Have at it Citizens.
Donuts.

Well, it removes the argument of revenue gathering, and they can choose whether or not to do the training.
Potentially, those that are "forced" into it (because it's the cheaper option) may go in with a closed mind, but as someone above has said, they thought it was bullshit, but remember stuff to this day.
Some moron could come along and say it's slavery, or you're forcing them, but I think it's good for the cop's public image (see, we're not just throwing the book at you), plus people that perhaps clearly need training, get some.
I say go for it (if your superiors don't scuttle it).

I did one at 16 shortly after getting my licence and even today I still drive/ride according to the lessons learnt in that. That was when they were still using the American movies and the instructor had to compensate for the left hook driving.
I personally think a Defensive Driving Course should be mandatory in getting one's licence.

Oooooo, I'll add inappropriate speed to the itinerary!

They look up KB - everybody there knows what 'incorrect riding' is
Bloody great idea oh Great Rodent, give it a good go.

He is talking about any offence that they can ping someone for, I can't even see that he mentions incorrect riding in his first post where he outlines the idea
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Good idea if you can iron out the wrinkles.
I'm guessing that the ACC training course people may be less than impressed by a plethora of bikers wanting to do the course just to minimise a fine ... but then again they may be delighted.
Could you:
Issue the ticket anyway but have attending (passing?) the course result in you being given a voucher to offset the cost of the fine? Obviously that would all have to happen within 28 days.
(Now this one is a little more complicated so put down the donut for a minute) If you catch someone with an offence that carries demerits could you reduce the fine by the $50 course fee (which they would then use to attend the course) and once attended (passed?) they would receive a confirmation which upon presentation to Police would get those demerits removed. (For me, demerits are way more of a deterent than a fine).

a little bit off topic, but what course(s) does acc subsidy, whats it about, is there much riding involved? I'd be keen to do anything that made me a better/safer rider (apart from driving a tank

... there is a form of this in the US known as traffic school. Now it's not the same, you are talking about serious training, there it has become a joke and operates at a much lower level of content, even to doing it online! But there are lessons to learn from their experience...
1. It would have to be official and so...
2. When do you say enough, THIS time I am awarding a ticket, and how to enforce that consistently Cape-to-Bluff.
3. It becomes the default first offense 'penalty' and loses part of its shock-tactics effect...
4. It would have to be offerred to cars and bikes... the volume would be enormous, potentially a resource-hungry beast.
Seems to me like a good idea if drip-fed. It would require a lot of control on/at several levels.

Canterbury is a bit spoilt with the $50 option, we don't get that in Auckland. For advanced (and 1 to 1) training, contact Tricia at http://rcsom.co.nz/ She's a motorcyclist herself, and will initially assess you, then work on whatever you need...a little bit off topic, but what course(s) does acc subsidy, whats it about, is there much riding involved?

Cost is $250 for 3 hours, the ACC subsidy will give a once off $100 to the training.
