Who rides the CBR250RR banana bike down at uni??

If we have to generalise then the worst driving I've seen is grey haired WHITE Falcon and Commodore drivers - Bastards are agressive think they own the road and (Foolishly) think they're good drivers.
Their interpretation of the Give way rule is 'My car is bigger than yours therefore I have right of way.'

Can't say I've seen him yet. Gamgee, you park under the ISB and wear the red/black decal helmet right? There have been soo many times that I've walked past you if that's the case.

Screeming down Albany St etc. is just plain stupid. So many people cross that road....

nah thats not me, there are two gpx that get parked under the isb, i wear the yellow and black nolan helmet, mine is the tidy gpx, the other one has been dropped a million times

I'll tell you what nationality shouldn't be allowed licences here, is indians, I have an friend who indian, and it's as you said with they asians dynam... they literally just buy there licences, so much corruption apparently, then he's got over here, and in the passed 6-7 months i've known him, he's written off one car, and the car he's got now, he crashed, and it's being held together by duct tape,

The worst driving I've ever seen was by an young indian fellow in a carpark. Reversing using his rear-view mirror, which nearly ran 3 people over, held up traffic, then roared around the carpark at mach 3

Probably thought he was a great driver too XD

Dont get me started on piss poor driving, I drive very large vehicles around Auckland for my Job, And then theres the Time when I was a volunteer stationed at glen eden I was driving the Fire Appliance to a call along rata st in new lynn on our way to back up avondales truck at 2 am in the morning, We come across 2 cars spaced about 50 metres apart ( this is a 2 lane rd for those that dont know), Anyways as we got to within a 100 metres of them I turned the siren on and started to slow down , as mostly at that time in the morning its either a drunk or someone whose still drowsy from just waking up. 1st car sees and hears us and pulls over , so i pass now we are getting closer to the car further on and I see the indicator go on to pull left out of my lane so i ease off the brakes ready to go past , Now at this stage i dont know why but the Idiot stomps on her brakes and comes to a complete stop in our lane , Reactions took over and I missed hitting her by about 2 inchs , well thats what the officer in the passenger seat reckons...too me a miss is a miss. And from then on even though at the time I thought i was being over cautious , I make sure that they have heard and seen me if not I dont get anywhere as close ( I was about 40 metres away when she stopped in my lane).

Caucasian,

So that's why it wasn't mentioned....

I dont think it is being racist as a lot of asian drivers have poor driving skills as a result of their non existant practical tests when obtaining a drivers licence they are allowed to use here for a year and the fact they are not used to the layout of New Zealand roads.

Not admitting that a particular culture has issues in their driving education might be nice in a politically correct pias landscape however when these driving habits result in people being hurt or killed i think it goes out the door and it needs to be looked into.

Guilty until proven innocent huh?

So what we have here. If you are patrolling the street and see an Asian driver then you'd be looking more into details knowing "This crappy driver might cock up more than other drivers around".
Quite frightening considering one with power such as yours might use it with discriminatory bias.

theres some guy down at auckland uni i've seen do a really high revs down the road... doesnt sound particulary great on a 250 haha

as fer the mentality of overseas drivers, having visited thailand and india, shocking driving there, but they're all shocking so it works alright, they all know what they might do if they were driving the car thats on their right at the intersection....

i know a few international students and their attitude to the road aint great, starts when they go for their learners, if they even bother with it... they just goto the questions and memorise the answers to each of the possible questions (knowing that they're the only possible ones they could get asked) the moment they're on the road they'll come to all sorts of intersections that arent like those in the answer questions, and then there will quite possibly be an accident.
