    Nyeh! You'll be back. NZ is still paradise. You'll learn that overseas with a little life experiemce.

    Time for a nice cup of tea and a sit down - onya for sticking to your guns in the face of overwhelming rational argument - perhaps a teency concession that maybe Aucklanders aren't all bad might be in order? After all, an Aucklander set up this website you're using...

    You remind me of myself 12 or so years ago.

    They're too busy looking out for themselves to band together and make it happen.

    hXc is just 15-it doesn't need a sledge hammer to deal with a carpet tack. Have some of you forgotten what it is like to be an adolescent?

    The immediate issue isn't.

Some puff piece about the economic and environmental contribution that can be unlocked by giving dispensations to motorcyclists who ride to work may probably be lost on them. By advocating exempting motorcycles, you're not offering them a solution. You're just another single-issue advocate -- like Susan from Herne Bay who doesn't like diesel fumes tainting her washing.

    My earlier post was intended to help whoever was writing submissions, not to pick on Aucklanders at the expense of others.

    Amen to NZ being paradise!

    Aye, Auckland's issues could well foreshadow those of Wellington or Christchurch as they grow. Sorting it out here could well help WRT future development of roading strategies in other NZ cities.

    Aye?
    Ok, accepted I am not a politician, however hundreds of people lobby a position for their cause and make no bones about it. Many like the Alcohol lobby have serious money, and well I have no idea how the drinking age came to drop to 18 and how, now that we have serious problems with the drinking habits of the young they can't find a way to fix this. but we don't have the money to throw at it. The fact remains that these lobbies still manage to be efective.
    Look at the NRA in America. What politician will oppose them? Any idea what they stand for? and by christ if they swing in behind Susan in Herne Bay people will listen.

    And beside in London Motorcycles are exempt from the charge. Motorcycle usage has increased 3 fold as a result and congestion has decreased, so maybe we offering a solution to their problems.

    Use that example and any other relevant ones you can find. But also anticipate proactively criticisms that may get thrown back.

    There is nothing wrong with adolescence and innocense but think before you speak this thread was about our roads as motorcyclist and he does not give a shit thats the attitude of majority of young people today and thats why our society is in so much trouble. We modicodle issues and throw them in the to hard basket instead of dealing with them.
