    It'll avoid more with such a technique though.
    Just relax.

So the muppet that hit me was not alone in mistaking it for a 2 lane bridge. The National Govt if I remember correctly decided for whatever reason not to make it 2 lane.
    I wasn't responding to your accident.
    I was responding to the accident that FJ Rider was talking about on the Waiau bridge, its an old bridge, if you've been up there you'd know it.

    this bridge accident.

    Where you or where you not the driver of a car? was it a bus? was it not a MOTORCYCLE?
    CASSINA why don't you answer the question?


    I suspect you were travelling at a reasonable pace, the car in front suddenly veered off, then an on coming car appeared in front of your VEHICLE, pretty simple really.

    But once again, being in the right (or legally right) position doesn't make it safe

    There wasn't any attack only the pissy response to an observation & knowledge of what goes on around there during the course of a day particularly during the likes of last weekend with what was happening it the city itself; the attitude of the retort wasn't warranted to what was was pointed out.
    The harp about having a bunch of throttle jockeys dicing them up in dangerous fashion was founded but being told "well what else did you expect" hit something raw; If he couldn't respond with some decency the issue is in his court.
    Some of us have been doing miles over all the peninsula roads for decades and know pretty much all the shit it can throw up and when & where to keep clear of. Shit the 1st ever motorcycle crash I ever saw up close was on Gebbies in late 79 (shiney new GS1000S punched flatout into the hill) & probably the exact spot where Rastus got diced

    your right fuckwit. i've never heard of a one way bridge (that's sarcasm. you're a fuckwit)

    and i'll let you in on a little secret, following distance isn't about luck, and is entirely within your control. you're a fuckwit.

    but i guess you were under a lot of pressure to keep up with traffic.


    you're a fuckwit.
