Does that mean Maori should be rulling the country, and if white people don't like it, they should go back to where you came from?

Thanks Marmoot for getting some sense back into this thread

Incidentally does anyone know the reaosn why full 5 point harness is not legal for road use ? (I believe this to be the case - correction welcomed). Seems totally fatuous.

The only reason I can think of is the standard 3 point belt complies to a standard,and so do the mounting points.Most racing equipment (eg,stainless hoses) doesn't need to comply with say a DOT or EU standard,but road equipment does.If ALL racing harnesses went through a EEC,ECC EU??? standard then I guess they would turn around that rule.

I was born here and value my way of life, It is slowly being strangled by people that dont give a fuck about this country, Most of the imports are more unstrustworthy than the imported 50cc scooters, Ill bet you are thinking im a racist, But guess what im not im just sick of the hairy fairy govt that we have running this country. To many people that offer no benifit to new zealand come here and demand there rights, I say fuck off,

Cervical injuries? Gee whizz, a babies head can only just fit out the hole, how the hell is a helmeted adult head going to swing down that far (presumably through the steering wheel) and cause Cervical injuries? EG, to do with the Cervix??

Not really being pedantic, but that word picture is Ridiculously funny at best, and disturbingly kinky at worst!! Good laugh, cheers!!

Oh by the way, The Burkha is a symbol of subservience to a regime that disallows the wearer any rights.
No problem with head coverings, but I get a bit unsure when people cover there face.

Be handy - only one licence needed for all the females in the household - how is anybody ever going to know WHO exactly is drivng when they're stopped by police??

"Yep, I'm XXXXXX, my licence is at home but you can check, I do have one"

Meanwhile their mother/sister is saying the same thing on the other side of town.

Could get the same issue with two brothers or two sisters, though, often siblings look alike enough to pass as one another. $150 fine for not carrying licence isn't it?

Could always ask them to provide a signature if in doubt. And if real doubt exists, call a chicky-cop to check 'em out.

And if Moriori were still around they would be able to say the same to the Maori........it's pointless going down THAT road BUT if you go to another country accept it and its present laws/customs status quo, - there's too much of 'the tail wagging the dog' in New Zealand, not good.

I have bigger problem with Chinese women who wear cotton gloves when driving. Ever tried evasive steering while wearing them?

there might be secret sticky goo on the steering wheel-you never know

And I suppose the same should be applied to our kiwis overseas in countries with different languages, such as Dubai, Saudi, China, Japan, Korea, Hongkong, and such?
I've never seen them being booted, though.........

And, in regards to 'cervical injuries' as result of wearing helmet, DAMN I MISSED THAT ONE
