    Yeah - It's just that the old moniker was more honest (Land Transport Stupidity Authority).

    Bloody propaganda, they don't realise it has the opposite affect. Even though it might be done with the best intentions people realise it's biased and false, so people choose to ignore it and everything else that gets said about the topic. Why did so many people ignore the message that P fucks you up? Because before P they said the same about ecstacy and it didn't (well, not as much).

    I can stop in less than 41m from 50kph. Landtransport tell me I can't (and prove it to me by showing me hit a kid on a bicycle). They lie and I'm right so I'm not listening anymore.....

    I think a testing session in a car park is required.....

    I am wondering if this is some ridiculous average that factored in thoses talking on their cell phones and doing make up, or maybe is was the one that needed he extra 20 meters to identify that it was a kid and maybe I should Stop!

    ......they probably wanted to make sure it was a wealthy white kid from remuera on a non-stolen bike before hitting the brakes.

    Stupid bastard. No matter how many times I hit him, he doesnt get the hint. I didnt even break one time and he still tests my patience

    haha. not everybody drives a car without brakes these days.

    mercedes make cars that will stop from 100kph in 30 metres.

    I think the old way of calculating stopping distances (holden kingswood with a drunk westy behind the wheel) are a little outdated.

    Interesting you mention a Holden Kingswood. A quick google of "average stopping distance from 50 km/hr" provides this site:

    http://www.nrma.com.au/pub/nrma/moto...distance.shtml

    NRMA is Aussies eqivalent of the AA.

    Look at the stopping distances they use. Especially the 1979 Kingswood. Which is not quite as bad as the 1984 Landcruiser, which stops, in the wet, in HALF the distance quoted by LTNZ.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Continuing on, Here's Land Transport South Africa's reasoning for lowering the speed limit to 50km/hr in urban areas:

    http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/safet.../the_facts.asp

    Check out their quoted stopping distances.

    And ACT's Land Transport Authority disagrees with LTNZ as well.

    I reckon LTNZ have been well and truly caught in a lie here.

    Maybe it's us Kiwi Drivers that suck at stopping not the "cages" we driveWhat with trying ta Txt, eat my Mac'ers, and changing the CD on the CD player, I could see my stopping distance being more than Aussies and South Africians, cause we know they don't muilti-task (male Kiwis just pretend we can't ).
