MAG NZ Taking Action

[swbarnett]

the dogs fault too for not having a good grasp of the road rules I guess FFS.

This seems to be what this brainless twit is "thinking". With this attitude I would've at the very least taken out a dog myself a couple of months back. The reason I didn't is a combination of good situational awareness and defensive riding. Coming past a line of trees close to the road I moved close to the center line "just in case". This gave me the room to accellerate away and avoid the dog that came at me from behind the trees.

Cassina probably would've continued on in the left wheel track and now be complaining about yet another homicidal dog.

That's the milk and nuts of it there mate.

Having the skills time and awareness to avoid a crash but choosing not to because that 'Guy' who blew that stop sign out into the front of you was legally wrong is a rather concerning thought pattern along with cassinas fixation with others being at fault.

Im calling PTSD here for this person from having too many crashes.

[Madness]

Cassina, under your scheme will I pay a lower ACC levy through my vehicle registration if my dog is slow moving as opposed to say, a Greyhound? What if my dog only has 3 legs and a rash in the groin area?

[swbarnett]

Cassina, stop worrying about who's at fault and worry about who's responsible.

And in case I have to spell it out, there's only one person responsible for your safety and that's YOU!

[Tazz]

Keep your dog restrained by a leash and you will be paying less ACC but let it roam the street and there is a risk you will be paying more. Its that simple.

Hmm there is some merit here.

I think I'd feel safer on the street if I knew you were at home restrained by a leash.

[Akzle]

Some dogs run out faster than others and I think you have just got lucky in coming across slow moving dogs you can swerve or brake to avoid. You may find this may not always
be the case.

you may notice sw didn't mention swerving or braking.
Those are usually the options left to fuckwits who aren't aware of whats happening in front of them.

But you probably didnt notice. because youre fucking retarded.

I don't usually read her posts, Cassina comprises one half of my ignore list. Do you think she even knows that if contact with a small(ish) animal is inevitable you have to release the brakes before impact?

To assist the left brainers among us, I would consider most dog breeds small(ish). A large animal might be a horse which would require a different technique. (If your technique with large animals works please let us all know what you did?)

Do you think she has heard about target fixation? It would seem that if something appears in front of her she feels the only option is to hit it.

On balance, just as well she's only in favour of riding slow really.

In the unlikely event there is actually a sensible answer, if someone could quote her please?

I wondered why you never responded to this one -

Now that pritch, he's one I would like to go for a ride with.

Yeah the ol' Fe-ometer goes into the red zone when dicks who bleat on about 'ignore' lists - still seem to have a hard-on for our resident Cassandra.. But then again she does have a thing about dogs running out in front of her - to spill their guts for a prophesy..

Maybe bagging her makes her desirable/doable, to some of you brave interweb warriors - kinda like taking on Medusa?
( though she might best be a double bagger, just in case you went soft & she felt it best to give you a bit of sexy-eye, to get you rock hard again.. L.O.L...

Which is why you ride defensively, otherwise all you can avoid is a senile three legged daschund.

Regardless of how many excuses you make, you still fucked up, and fucked up again in the same situation; you need to learn to learn.

Like you I've "almost" stopped reading them.

Do you think she even knows that if contact with a small(ish) animal is inevitable you have to release the brakes before impact?

I doubt it. Given that they seem to have a total lack of any desire to learn anything.

I would consider most dog breeds small(ish).

Most indeed. You should see my friend's dog. On all fours their head is almost level with my chest and she's still only a pup.

A large animal might be a horse which would require a different technique. (If your technique with large animals works please let us all know what you did?)

Same technique as with any large, immovable object - avoid at almost all costs. Pretty unlikely to find one of these running out like a dog in NZ though, given that they're all herbivores. More likely to treat you like a predator and run the other way.

Do you think she has heard about target fixation?

Probably experienced it first hand but still doesn't understand.

So you are a dog hater as well?

No dogs should not be restrained. Property's should be fenced.

Jump.

Pure entertainment on my part.You just never know what cassina is going to come out with next.

Credit due sticks to the guns right or wrong remains unmoved....
