    Yeah - it's a bloody radical though I'll give you that.

    If you think about it it will probably cost motorcyclist more in ACC rego fees in the long run - fall off, now you'll survive but need years of medical care

    Dead right.....the padding is a good idea but would be better with another row of Armco underneath to eliminate the gaps altogether.

    the histeria around wire is wasted energy, its no worse than Armco....posts are the problem

    Nothing radical about it. Idiots have been expecting us to be perferct since year dot. When the hell are people going to realise that that's just not possible. Or do you think we're all supposed to be omnipotent?

    True but irrelevant. The only way to bring the road toll (injury or death) to zero is to euthanise the entire population before we even get near the road.

    Love the Judge Death, only the living commit crimes therefore all life is a crime.
