    Dead people are listed in statistics.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    And there was me thinking they were because of dumb shits in cars that don't f*cking look where they're going.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    Very few motorcycle deaths have anything to do with cars. They have everything to do with your attitude. Most motorcycle accidents are the riders fault.

    That is in fact incorrect. Over 90% of motorcycle 'accidents' are caused by Satan.
    The other 35% are caused by statisitics.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Isn't that tough shit for the rider involved then?

    Most of the crashes I have to avoid every day are because dumb shits aren't looking where they're going.

    Are Kiwis taught indicator, manoeuvre or, MIRROR (to see if there's anything coming), indicator, manoeuvre (if it's fucking clear)?

    More bikes on the roads = more waving threads.... Gah!

    To prevent OOS/RSI, I will refrain from waving at any form of 2-wheeled conveyance, in the name of safety. Ghey dayglo vests' are still out though.

    You've identified some hazards about riding in NZ so now manage them. Whinging about them isn't doing anything, and no, Kiwis aren't taught that anymore. They're taught to pass a test and any form of "advanced" driver or rider training is frowned upon by officialdom as it promotes "driver over confidence".

    Surely the test is there to see if someone is competent at driving a vehicle? If they're not (ie, they're endangering other people's lives), then they should fail the test?
    If officialdom is so (allegedly) concerned for our safety that they deem it illegal to do 110km/h (because that's where the crashes are happening, sir ), then they're concerned enough to keep dangerous people from being on the road in the first place. Unless the 100km/h speed limit is only there for revenue gathering.

    This may be hard to take, but as a Crustacean newly integrated into our South Pacific Utopia, you have to understand that what a politician says, and what a politician does, are seldom related in reality unless it is to refute that the politician ever did something they said they would.

    The other funny one is where we're told by some retard that on EVERY corner, there's more force taking us off the road than keeping us on. Makes me wonder how any of us get round ANY corner!! Surely we'd fall off the road every time?

    Or are the ads using faith rather than science?

    Actually I think that niether you nor I will influence motorcycling's future. All any of us can do on an individual basis is be who we are.

    Hang on, what's with the sensible answer?? Is this like a reverse troll?
