Dangerous........Define Dangerous.....

[98tls]

Nope. Sustained loss of traction relates to the driven wheels, ie: A Burnout.

Wheelies will attract dangerous driving or careless driving charges depending on the circumstances.

yep.....................

Sorry off topic - but in the NZ herald a couple of days ago there was a story of a woman running a red light, ploughing into a car which hit a bike and killed the rider -

So how does she get away with careless driving and you get a dangerous driving? Thats not right

[Sketchy_Racer]

The driver of the northbound car pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving causing death after a police investigation concluded she was up to 100m from the intersection by the time the lights turned amber, and apparently did not notice them changing to red

Well thats a load of fucken shit. I don't know what its like up your ways, but the lights in kapiti, have at least 5 seconds of a 'saftey net' so to speak. So assuming thats what the lights there had, means that the light would have been red for 5 seconds or so before she went through.


Hey 98tls,

You should use this argument in your court case.

How is it poissible that when some one runs a red and kills someone, they get a little slap on the hands?
Yet when a motorcyclist does a under control wheelie, where the only person he is going to indanger is himself, gets done for more than a person that killed a guy because they are blind or retarded fuckers that cant see or understand that red means STOP.

gah...... The justest system...... my fucken arse its just...

[ManDownUnder]

Damn... "is or might be dangerous".
Looks like riding a motorcycle constitutes dangerous driving.
You're screwed.

LOL.... fuck.... we're all screwed mate. Ever heard a non motorcyclist describe bikes as one of the safer forms of transport?

It might be dangerous to a person alright. Fall off and see how safe you are

Bugger Dude, sorta makes me feel guilty for what I'm about to post. Got pulled in town last Saturday when I accidentaly hoisted it when I left the bike shop and then hooked second, not looking @ the speedo I notice a Police car to my left waiting @ the intersection. Immediately touch down & wave sheepishly to the 2 Police Officers in the patrol car. Long story short I was already off the bike and helmet off before they had their car park. Officer 1 gets out of said patrol car shaking his head, think shit I'm in it now but hey I did just pull a Mono in front of the Police, I'm in the wrong. I obvioulsy passed the attitude test (he did say nice wheelie) as he let me stew for a while & sent me on my way with a "don't do it again".Note to self, don't pull Mono's in front of manned Patrol cars !!!
So feel for ya 98tls, hope the outcome is not too severe.

I am guessing attitude coupled with a clean report back when they run your plate and a tidy bike ie wof and reg do count in some cops eyes

Damn that's a sad story. I know that intersection well and he must have been crossing from K-Rd to the Grafton bridge, so he could see his wife at the Auckland Hospital. That means he was only 500m from his destination when the moron in the cage went through the red light and took him out.

Well actually Ted, I'd forgotten that my Rego Had expired 5 days previous and he did want to know about my 2 speeding tickets 14 mths ago, first week of owning said motorcyle a week apart, first one was returning from Auckland the first day of ownership & the next a week later almost to the hr returning Fm Auckalnd after my first service.

Gutting 98tls

id defend it, no laywer....
go for reducing it to careless use of a motor vehicle

good luck!

[SPman]

Ive heard that wheelies can be classed as 'sustained loss of traction'

I guess if you had sustained loss of traction while pulling a wheelie, it could be construed as dangerous, on a public road........
