Where the fuck are your children?

Faaark! this sort of carry on is becoming a regular recurrence around the land. Every couple of weeks there is a post about some object being placed semi-hidden in the path of on-coming traffic. As if the roads weren't dangerous enough out there.

Can anyone recall if this sort of carry-on has shown bursts of activity in previous decades? Or is it really a new phenomenon?

It's nothing new. I've found all sorts of stuff on the road over the years. Quite a few years ago I tootled round a corner and there dead in front of me was a bathtub. The old fashioned iron sort with feet, back then they were just old junk, , not antique decor. Semi full of water too (dirty). No soap though. I had a hell of a job shifting it to the side of the road , luckily another guy came along and helped me.

Hope they never start stretching wire across the road etc.

One of my mates was in a cage a while back, driving down a suburban road at 50kmh and saw a big brown bag in the middle of the road. He was going to straddle it but at the last moment decided to skirt around it.

Looking in his rear vision mirror, he saw it move and a kid got out of it????!!!!!

.

Scary stuff

Quick bitch, then a shower and bed.

Was riding along SH1 through Orewa just before and noticed the car in front of me swurve. I keep on watching (waiting for him to hit oncoming traffic) then look back in front of me only to see a big steel frame glass table in the middle of the road.

So I stoped and moved it off to the side, then called the police. Was a shame I couldn't see where the little toe rags were hiding in wait.

Pays to know where your little fuckwit children are at night !!

My little girl might not of seen her dad again tonight. However that Hyosung is just too damn sexy to go crashing on.

My bitch is over. Thank you for reading. I'm happy to of wasted a few minutes of your life, it truly was an honour. Thank you, Thank you... Thank you.

i had the same a while ago but mine was a set of scaffolding (at night) clever huh!!!?????

Bugger, glad you didn't come short.

What happened to the good ol' days I hear about when the parents would take the side of the ranting neighbour or police officer and smack the kid for what they've done?

The namby-pamby PC do-gooders in action. They have fucked society as we used to know it.

But at least they've saved us from the "sting" of personal responsibility...

There are good kids and bad kids, just as there are good parents and bad parents. The thing is, we only ever hear about bad kids/parents. The good ones are just not newsworthy.

[scumdog]

I disagree completely, and i would go so far as to say that is an unfair generalisation.
In regard to parents defening their children, my parents are annoyed the police couldn't charge my brother with anything when they caught him, which is a different attitude to the one you claim parents have...

These posts made me very angry. I had a good long cool off period after reading them before replying to them

ZorsT, I can understand you chagrin at being generalised - I know I do too.

But so often parents just refuse to believe the flaming obvious - that their darlings are actually little shits!!

I have to deal with it all the time and you can almost see the little 'darling' thumbing his/her (mainly his) nose at you from behind their parents back.

And at the end of the day the kid ends up paying.

EG:

Mate of mine went to a North Shore house to tell parents there that little Johnny had been caught riding around the streets on the bonnet of a his mates car - parents refuse to believe it,"No, must be a mistake, my son doesn't do that sort of thing, haven't you got something better to do?"


One week later my mate had to go back to the address, to tell same parents that now Johnny was very dead, wouldn't you know, he fell off the bonnet he was sitting on as the car hooned around the street!!!!Surprise-surprise!

I bet they believed THAT news!!


And if they had believed the first news and had some balls little Johnny might just still be alive.

Shit well some people just don't listen aye mate.....

your a good guy scumdog i know you cop alot of crap for being a cop because people generally don't like them.

i spose it must also be a bit boring now though as all cops seem to have to babysit the roads now and be traffic cops what ever happened to real policework aye armed robberies and people breaking into houses...

now what you usually find in your daily job is some long haired male teen in a singlet smells like hes either not washed in a lifetime or is trying to hard to impress the chick in the miniskirt in the backseat of his honda civic with seats so low and angled back he can't see more than his windscreen washers or his oversize tachometer with the large shift light, dropped on 19 inch chrome wheels with either cut or no springs.....with tints on his windows and a loud sub woofer in the back....

this is not a generilization.....it's a fact......

cops need some real entertainment

ive seen a cop chase go past me a late model subaru wrx going up the hill at about 150 clicks tyres squaeling like mad through a light bend in the road and just as he dissapeares over the hill comes the local undercover cop around my area going about 180 after him in his commodore no tyre squeal or nothing and he was gaining on him.

and this thing was fully hotted up big wheels big bore exhaust the lot...

in a way it is good that theres not too many serious crimes bank robberies etc...

but in a way worse that the police are being traffic cops all day......and also worse for the fact with all the boy racers doing runners and so on these days it won't be long before more and more pedestrians start getting killed....

there needs to be tougher restrictions on the power a boy racer can have

by the ages of 15 1/2 they can have a restricted license and drive whatever they want on the road it's putting too much power in the hands of inexperianced young drivers...

now don't get me wrong i love a good hotted up skyline with 500 bhp butfor an inexperianced driver with acne long hair and only just passed his license with some driving school just yesterday it's a time bomb waiting to happen...

you need to think about how many lives must have been saved by having the 250cc restriction on a bike learners.....if that restriction was not in place people would go out buy an r1 and that would be it and they wouldn't last long....i'm seeing this happening with young car drivers also there needs to be a restriction.

got a BIT off topic by the end but yeah thats my lot hope that provides some insight and keep up the good work spud.... and other cops on here

Cheers: MA

Just remember guys ('specially younger ones) in the 'old days' that there was a dedicated trffic department - the Ministery of Transport guys.
All they did was traffic - and fairly serious about it too - and they were firm on any driving 'errors' too, the standard of day-today driving behaviour was a lot tighter back then (even if the road deaths per 1,000 cars on the road was worse)!!

The plods on the other hand dealt with all the 'other stuff', you really had to 'gap their axe' before they gave you a ticket (if they knew how)

In its infinite wisdom the Gov't of the day back in '92 (I think) amalgamated the two because 'it will put twice as many Police on the beat' or some similar slogan to that.

Did it work? - You decide.

good to see the government made it right as they always do they know best of coursee they do

seems to have got more common after all the publicity that cement block that got tossed off a motorway got...those young kids.

my brother would likely be the type to do something like that...he was the devil himself, still is...attempted rape of myself, drugs, drink, car accidents, and the latest getting jailed for growing and possession of drugs...dad literally collapsed when he saw the cars outside brothers flat. and still hes their angel, cant do no wrong. everytime he went to court, they somehow found the money to bail him out.

This is why I support mass sterilization. Having visited Paeroa over the weekend, it was living proof. It's amasing that these people are allowed to breed and vote. Scary stuff.

Sadly it will all come to an end when they shuffle off this world -if he hasn't already gone himself by then.
