Finally some common sense, Can we close the sandpit now ?
It was entertaining for a while, but too much of anything gets a bit boring

Almost 30 pages. Will you blog this? Or hope to sweep the thread under the carpet?

It has been a while since you added to your blog.

Mmmm Katy Perry......

I am innocent of any knowledge pertaining to Katy Perry songs. Furthermore I'm entirely happy to stay that way.

Now I have to look back to your last post.

Having read the many previous pages it seems quite possible that humour may have taken people by surprise?

You gotta fight for your right to clip mirrors!

I'm away from home on business, thankfully far away from the shit hole that is Auckland and its "motorway" network. I haven't replied to Mr Branett's last post because (believe it or not) I'm getting rather tired of it too. I had a thought yesterday though, round about Putaruru, that I'd like to put out there.

If a motorcyclist collides with a vehicle whilst lane-splitting as we all understand it, regardless of the level of damage inflicted to a wing mirror, I think it is fair and perfectly reasonable for that rider to be charged with Careless Driving and face the full consequences that charge carries.

Again, I'm on an iPhuck so don't expect much in the way of posts this week, sorry Pebbles.

/Edit: Katy Perry's rack is a gift from God himself. I'd still run off with Anne Hathaway before Katy though, but that's another story.

Isn't that just typical of today's safety zealot riddled society. Drown the baby for shitting in their nappies.

To charge someone with careless for a slow speed mirror tap would be the same using careless for the haneous crime of 5kph over the speed limit.

We don't cut people's hands off for stealing anymore either.

Completely different. I'm no Lawyer but after having spent many a day sitting in traffic Courts in a previous life I believe I have a good understanding of the nature of the charge. To clip the wing mirror of another vehicle is quite obviously operating a vehicle in a manner below that of a prudent driver.

I should add that Mr Branetts reaction is hardly surprising and that I'd marry Anne Hathaway even if she had hair full of nits.

Was that why she cut her hair off?
