Nah -10inch wheels give you more feel for the road and its "pot holes"

[Meekey_Mouse]

AWW! That is such a cute story

[Beemer]

I see what the cops mean when they say they can't win! Be told about the kitten running loose on the road and leave it, so one of you lot comes around a corner and hits it (because it sounds like very few of you would bother swerving), perhaps coming off and wrecking your bike, or close the road for a while and remove the danger - either way, they're tossers. Obviously.

Cats are the same as possums in my book. What a waste of time and resource. I wouldn't be swerving to miss it

but how many drivers out there would swerve - straight into oncoming traffic or the next lane...........

[Squeak the Rat]

Bloody cops - was the kitten arrested before it was taken into custody?

This was a no-brainer in my book. There would be drivers who would swerve for a kitten so therefore it's potentially a hazard. The cops often hold up traffic to remove pieces of wood and other debris (which as a biker deserves a big thumbs up!) so this isn't too far removed apart from the fact hitting a kitten wouldn't damage a car. And that's ignoring all the emotions involved with cute widdle kittens.....

Agreed.............in a perfect world if you want a pet you get it........its gets nicked and chipped...........3rd time its picked up wandering you lose it......but no to easy....instead we have to pay millons for spca refuge and suffer through millons of $ worth of advertising/warnings from said Spca..........

I wonder who left their seal to wander in Southland.
And look what happened to it...the beach down there is technically a carriageway so the result was inevitable really...........

perhaps they could catch a few crims while they are at it

Probably book the owner of the cat for allowing it to get into such a prediciment, then bill the owner for the use of police resourses.

.

It was charged with obstructing a public carriageway and disqualified from driving for six months

Apart from the fact they showed some humanity, they have to remove animals before someone crashes trying to avoid them.
I saw a van nearly roll on the Northern M/way while swerving to miss a duck and ducklings.
Good stuff.
PS The correct charge is being a pedestrian on a motorway.

[DEATH_INC.]

Good on 'em.

A CAT-astrophe was clearly avoided... Bidoom tish...
