Operation Mataki - SH75 to Akaroa

Hey, let's face it, anyone can do anything they want on the roads.

Most times, no issues. Sometimes, there might just be consequences.

Fines, demerits. Maybe even an off.

Just don't bitch when the consequences happen, as playing by the rules is an option open to everyone.

And in the real world, even if you play by the arbitrarily set speed rules, there is no such thing as a guarantee.

Dont shoot the messenger, he is only delivering and enforcing the message
If you dont want to listen to the message, thats your choice,
It not his choice if you get caught, its yours for deciding not to listen.
And agree, even obeying all the rules dose not garrentee your safety, someones else's choice might be the cause of your dilemma

Thank you OB. Finally someone who understands why I ride during the week; so my 100km/h journeys don't make me feel slow compared to all the weekend speedsters.

Its earned, Mate. You can't demand it of the population.

And quite frankly you and your blue mates have got a bit of earning to do

You get on - you do your job- and you do it well I'm sure

Just dont expect us to like you....

Respect is a given, not fucking earned! Everyone deserves respect, untill such time as they do something, to have their character questioned.

If I meet someone, they have my respect and I show it by being polite and amicable. If they piss me off or are a member of kiwibiker, I stop doing that.
