This particular thread is ammunition in the "I told you cheesecutters kill motorcyclists" campaign. Shows that the current furore is not a knee-jerk response to Daniel's death.

Remember Transit on Wednesday says they will be doing a review of the WRB's relation to the accident. And so on Friday Transit's general manager network operations, Roly Frost, said Transit had taken motorcyclists' concerns seriously - but international research showed wire rope median barriers were no more dangerous to motorcyclists than other types.

So do you think they really meant what they said on Wednesday? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/...ectid=10471713

The "weekend herald jury" today A13:

People voted 7-5 'guilty' to 'not gulity' for transport officials putting lives at risks by having the barriers installed instead of using sturdier materials.

Their overall verdict: Not guilty...

WTF? Someone can't count, last time I checked 7 was greater than five!

Indeed and the most compelling thing I would like to pass onto Transit and their "Road Barrier Symposium" to demonstrate what exposed barrier supports do is this http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...85&postcount=1

Perhaps they work on the court principle. You need a 10-2 majority for a guilty verdict?
