Unfortunately there will always be dumb shits riding in dumb ways and doing dumb shit stuff.. It's unavoidable. We've got a stretch of road over here which is single lane in either direction, lots of blind corners, a rock cliff-face on one side and a combination of rock wall and wire-rope barrier on the other, always full of tourist traffic and even riding through at a considerable rate of knots (sensible for the amount of run-off you don't have, mind) you'll almost always have some hero on a Gixxer or something come flying past on the wrong side of the road, towards a blind corner, with nowhere to go if they fuck it up.
Did they leave? Or get kicked or something? Haven't heard anything in a while

That's average weekend behaviour in my book, gets worse during holiday periods. Try driving a truck over that bit of road, some folks just "have to be" in front, even if it risks life and limb![]()
The Rimutakas are awesome compared to when I did my traffic cop motorbike training there back in the day. Last rode there a few years back and I was gob smacked at how good the improvements had been.
Doesn't matter the road, there will always be risk takers. And some ride bikes.
