Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Just a note
I didn't get out and measure it. I estimated the distance by eye between the near side of a post and the white line in my lane. And in some places with my Architects/Builders eye it didn't look like the inside of line was even a metre of the post. So to make it clear, a metre, or less, in some places, off the post, each side. I'm pretty good at measurements being a designer and I didn't exaggerate for this threads sake. So I should be pretty damn close with my figures.
That centre Cheesecutter would be pretty hard on you if you where passing someone and they decided to pull into the fast lane without realising you where there.
Ouch! That would hurt (well for a minute before you died that is).
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

That is like walking down the middle of the footpath with people slashing swords at you, all the way...
Not good!

Mad nagging bitch!
The way I see it is.....you can sit at your computer bitching and moaning and preaching to the converted about how dangerous these things are, or you can DO something about it and join the protest ride in Taupo tomorrow!

I've learned... that to ignore the facts does not change the facts
Do you seriously expect me to believe that these politicians would implement policy based on nothing more than bullshit......

How many times did you come close to hitting them on the drive to Kimmy's??
Having a Zen moment...
Having ridden that piece of road, just looking at the pictures makes me feel queasy - it's a very visceral fear... Shudder...
Was going up the Northern the other day (right hand lane) and a tosser cut in front of me such that I needed to brake quite sharply.Fortunately it was dry, I had already profiled his vehicle and was watching his tyres, I hadn't been drinking, wasn't going too fast, and I was alert and on my game generally... it was at one of those sections where the cheesecutters are pretty close to the side of the road (dunno how close actually, but not where the grass verges are - a metre or two gap, maybe?). Could have been quite a different outcome if any one of those factors was changed. Scary.
Redefining slow since 2006...

And maybe that's the thinking behind their installation.
Scare people into being careful! I know I behave when I'm riding through them.
Only trouble is on a bike they kill you rather then save you when you get caught in someone else's mistake!
