Are you green? Just a thought.

[Scuba_Steve]

Ah well, as long as it inconveniences the little shits a bit I'm happy

you won't be if you end up working with them.
I hear cop is now an option for community service, I saw it on that ad the cop uses his old tagging skills to graffiti pictures of his new gang on the wall

Lake Flies suffered badly this weekend just gone. But then, anyone who rides SH75 knows that already.

It appears to be that time of year, again.

Nothing much else excited the Popo out there, so it's been a happy weekend. There was one unreported off that we've heard of, but no details are available. As per usual, if there is no crash report, it didn't happen. Non injury, from what we hear, so all good.

See ya all next weekend, from Avon City Suzuki. It's the Blue September ride to Little River, in support of Prostate Cancer awareness. We''l be there. Blue is our colour, as it were.

Ka kite. (and donuts).

One motorcycle crash that won't appear in the statistics you mean ... ????

And no investigations/interviews you have to do ... more time for donuts ...

Yup.

It made me think, actually. Now, that's a first

How may offs happen that we don't know about?

It's interesting to compare our crash stats (attended crashes) against the figures from insurance companies. We tend to get more detail, coz we actually attend. But we hear about, my guess, maybe 50 - 60% of the single vehicle crashes that happen.

I also wonder how may happen because of bad engineering. We don't hear about it, so there's no report. No report means the roading authority doesn't perceive the problem, so nothing changes.

I can understand someone coming off and not reporting it though. Why would ya, when you'd probably get charged with Careless?

Funny old, self conflicting world.

[scumdog]

.

Quite a few down here.

No Ambo? = No crash!

[FJRider]

Yup.

my work here is done ...

If people know the "rules" were broken to end in a crash ... of course they won't report it. Insurance company's won't worry about broken laws (unless the "other" party is at fault) if it's covered in their policies ...

I once had a "Single vehicle accident" near Winton. Nobody saw what happened. No obvious signs other vehicles were involved (I had no memory of the accident) no charges were laid.
Although the cop DID mention ... if I was riding a honda ... I would have got a "Depositing dangerous litter" charge.

Isn't it the injury accidents that are definitely reportable? ... but then how bad an injury? .... scratch or serious harm as defined by HSE Act?

Most people that dropped a bike, unless they hit someone else, I am sure are unlikely to report it. If someone else finds said biker injured then they might report it.

From my aged memory ... injury accidents must be reported within 24 hours. Injury was explained to me once ... as "requiring medical attention". Band-aids qualify as medical attention ...

Apparently ...


Oh and non-injury accidents ... within 7 days. (from memory)

I think alzheimer's is setting in......

From the police website

After a non-injury crash, you should swap names and addresses with other motorists involved. If the crash involved another person's property, such as a fence, you should report it to the owner of the property within 48 hours of the crash or where the owner cannot be located, to police within 60 hours of the crash. All crashes resulting in injury (such as broken bones or a night in hospital) should be reported to local police as soon as is practicable and no later than 24 hours from the time of the crash

Why would you guys need to be told that someone dropped their bike and got a little bit hurt but was OK to get home and to a doctor? If it's a single vehicle incident, not resulting in public damage, there is no point in you guys time being wasted.

I don't even put "motorcycle accident" on the ACC form if I go to the doctor. Those cunts lump every bike crash onto our stats, weather it's road or recreation.

never thought the day would come when akzle would bend over to "the man".

Whats the matter, too many infractons?
