Police getting tougher on speed tolerance

[husaberg]

Perhaps ... I prefer my own interpretation on what happened. Not another's interpretation on how it could be explained.

Rear view mirrors are for pussies ... what is behind is NOT important. It is what is AHEAD that will be of more danger to you.

Hint ... what is ahead is future. Behind is history. Don't let history catch up ...

Yeah but its apparent your own opinion is not correct.

That cool but seeing as you have no actual basis to form your opinion that the accident stats in both NZ and the USA are wrong, whatever else you say is an opinion based on it seems solely your own opinion.
Also considering you dont actually read what i wrote before you claim to disagree with it, i would not say your opinion is that sound.

Did I say they were wrong ... ??? Statistics are facts ... stated along with other facts to make (and PROVE) a point. To reinforce a theory even.

IF ... statistics show there are more accidents at intersections controlled by a Give Way sign ... than a Stop sign ... would you AVOID Give Way signs (because they are dangerous) ... or would you just take more care at Give Way sign controlled intersections ... ??

QUESTION ... Why do so many people die on Waikato roads .. ??? BAD roads or people making BAD/STUPID decisions ... ??? How many millions of $$$ will it take to remove stupidity from the Road safety Equation ... ??? Did why people died on these roads LAST year ... make any difference to those that died on those roads THIS year ... ???

Statistics are NUMBERS ... and can those numbers be changed .. ?? Make a difference on the roads of NZ ... CHANGE next years statistics ... and make the right decisions. It wont be the easiest way, or the cheapest ... BUT ... it might just happen to you. YOU ... might hope you are exempt from the statistics ... lets see what next years statistics show. As long as your name isn't one of the deaths listed ... BOTH of us will be happy.

Another question ... HOW has statistics changed the way YOU ride your motorcycle (or car) on the roads of New Zealand in the past year ... ??? GREEN bling to those that come up with a (believable) reply ...

In YOUR opinion ... you mean ...

Do you have statistics to show it's NOT correct ... ??

What a stupid thing to say!

Hmmmmm that's a good point.

Did the high number of MC deaths last year make me change my riding? I'm saying 'NO' .

However a number of threads over 2018 on KB about riding distances, remembering to look well head, and not getting caught up in the 'rush' of the ride made me think to the point I made some changes for the better.

I have already posted them. You refused to read them stating your opinion was correct

[FJRider]

YOUR opinion ... but I got your attention.

Stupid choices and decisions KILL people. How many could die because of my (that) post ... ???

Apparently ... I must spread ... etc.

Anybody else think the same ... ??

I never stated my opinion was correct ... just stated I believed your opinion was just that. Your's ...

Bullshit. Danger comes from behind. You have some control of what's in front of you but none from the back.

[nzspokes]

Most people that die on motorbikes are as a result of car drivers mistakes so think of those courses as being practical defensive driving courses.ie survival skills

Wrong, about 60% of riders do it to themselves.

If you have NO control of whats at your back ... having mirrors is pointless ... right .. ???

If it's any consolation ... I did read them.

Gave me a laugh ... thank you ...

Now that depends how advanced your riding is.

When did you last do a course?

Perhaps you need more convincing statistics ... one's that were not compiled to confirm a set agenda ... by set organisations ...

And ... please tell me how those statistics you posted/quoted ... CHANGED your riding style/habits ... or what changes you will make in light of those statistics ...
