Done, can some one post a link to where you can read the submissions?

Yes, have written in as well. I suspect there are no submissions to be read yet because they are still getting checked by mods before publication. I couldn't find any, anyway.

Veteran Auckland motorcyclist Lou Girardin, a former Ministry of Transport patrolman, said he did not believe the wire barriers were acceptable anywhere and suspected Transit was driven by cost considerations. "If you set out to design something to mutilate the human body, you couldn't do any better.
"It's not a matter of speed - if you're tipped off [a motorcycle] by a driver changing lanes you are dead or at the very least your limbs will be severed. These things are just horrendously dangerous."

Totally Awesome
Just a stray thought here re: protest ride. A number of us have "Track-day Bike" vans, and there is bound to be the odd truckie among us. Why not have those trailing the protest rides (if we go ahead with the protest) to provide "safety" for the riders ahead? Would be happy to bring my Hiace LW work van to help with this ("Roxanne" can come along in the back of it, "she'd" love ta be there too).

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Deep in the heart...
Great work there guys, well done.
Felix, kia kaha, my deepest sympathy and respect to you.

Works for me too, though the link takes some finding.
One of the points raised by the speed nazis in comments is the high speed involved in the accident. True - hitting any barrier at 150km/h is likely to cause death. However, he didn't hit the barrier head-on. Assuming (and it's a big assumption) he hit at around twenty degrees, the velocity at which he would have encountered the barrier (measured perpendicular to the barrier) would be a shade over 50km/h. That's equivalent to a fall from 9.6m, where as a 150 kph impact is equivalent to a fall from 101m. And this calculation doesn't take into effect any deceleration from the friction of leather against tarmac.
A concrete barrier provides a smooth solid surface to bounce off. The cheesecutter barrier legs and thin steel. This is what causes the damage, not the cables. The legs trap limbs (or bikes) and fling the body round. This severs or shatters limbs beyond repair.

That was precisely my point.
Meeeeeeeeeh
Great work there Felix and Jen, thanks a lot.
Do keep us updated and I am putting my hand up as well, in helping out in any tasks relating to any form of protest that will be organised.
