there is going to be so many variations of basically the same type of law soon, that the coppers are going to have to have fuckin lawyers degrees to work out which one to apply.

they need to simplify the existing laws and apply them properly instead of inventing new ones.

I agree .... a prime example is the dumbass remaking of the laws on lighting that effected all the innocent people including the trucking industry as well as the ones they were targeting, what was wrong with the law that had always said "white and amber to the front, red and amber to the rear... alll other colours are illegal".

When they tack on all these complicated law amendments all it achieves is the venue for more and more lawbreakers to get off on a technicality and the good ones (like all the members on here of course) being targeted with rediculous regulations.

I say let the police do the policing and get rid of the 'political correctness crap' that hinders this country.

I spent 10 days in Tasmania last year and there was NONE of the road crap you see here, the motorists dont dare cos the cops have a "first time youre done" policy, not like NZ police that pussyfoot around with the offenders.

Think about it.

Do you think a boy racer is going to pull over for a cop, who is going to crush his car???

Or do you think the boy racer will try run and get away??

This country is going to the dogs

They don't tend to congregate in brainless masses outside motels on inner city streets and conduct non-stop burn-outs late at night.

Of course the old farts actually have something to lose too....

Why the Law...all it has done is give the Boy Racers the attention they crave...all this effort when we have Laws in place...too much moral ground.

If you are going to scap these cars then it should be done for drunk drivers...sadly these Country seems to accept drinking and driving...imagine the outcry if they scrapped cars of drink drivers...

These guys are just car enthusiasts....like us...yes there are idiots but again there are the same in all groups...they just want to have a place to meet...surely we can do this...

NZ forgets that they have signed World agreements and this proposed Law is in breach of these rights...

This Country is too PC with too many do gooders who don't want youngsters to have fun...

I guess the alternative is to do drugs instead..the Govt offers Rehab..whbat do the Govt offer 'Boy Racers'....nothing

They are righting there cars off without insurance anyways... and others.

WOA THERE GUYS-- think about this a mo.
Replace the word car with bike and replace night drags with midarvo/late arvo stunt session.
The PUBLIC perception of the two events is gonna be the same innit??
Think about it
from aunty joan in her 1984 toyota corolla.
1) a group of Yoofs are gathered round doing burnouts and yahooing at night in their cars --reasonable sized crowd of em
2) A group of "yoofs" are on their motorbikes doing loud wheelies and burnouts n stuff. a crowd of em gather to watch the stunter

The law is fine how it is.
Just do them for speeding/noise.

they can save it for the track also! There are track days round the country for cars and bikes. Sadly as we all know this isnt the case as it is more to do with doing something illegal and not getting caught, thats what these youth of today thrive on.

We have enough laws for the police to easily deal with the "boy racers" as it is.

Sustained loss of traction
Excessive noise
Dangerous driving

......just to name a few and that would be more than sufficient to deal a substanstial financial/demerit/loss of licence blow to any individual caught doing this.

Clarification is needed on the exisiting laws to help the police. Just look at the bus lane debocle in Auckland!!

Careful KBers, it wont be long before the first bike gets crushed if this legislation comes in and then who will be whining? Perhaps it wasnt such a good idea after all........?

Crush the bikes too... don't need crap on our streets. If you are loosing traction on a bike on the streets or road then you should really be on a track..

(Or do it when no one is around at your own Risk of Crushing)
