    If you put a monkey on the back of your motorcycle youll get enough shit on the seat anyway. Make the monkey throw demotivational cards to the cagers that way we will get back at the cagers emotionally.

    It's nice to hear of it happening, don't you think?

    You might be seeing some UK imports doing it properly. Most Kiwis indicate as they change lanes.
    Passing through Silverstream today, I saw one bloke indicate after he'd gone around a normal corner!?!?!

    Actually, in that part of the world, a fair number of people indicate before going around regular corners (where there's no need to). I mean, what's that about?? Is this Hutt Valley rules, or something?

    I think it does have something to do with the Hutt Valley though I suspect that is an operation only performed by those who are Valley bred.

    I live up Maungaraki. I followed some duffer up the hill on the way home one night and he indicated for each hairpin on the way up the hill. 5 times in total. You get a bit twitchy about people like that because the 6th time the indicate they're likely to indicate left and turn right.

    I'm from Auckland and I'm not sure I'm really convinced that indicators are strictly necessary. After all, we never used them back home.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Gotta laugh though, when you see it for real.

    Yeah, I remember the first time I drove into Auckland, having come up from the south through Thames onto the southern m'way.

    Cars passing on the right and the left freaked me out and eventually made me real cross. FFS, you just don't get that on the M6.

    That was an experience I'll never forget. Ya just get used to it (when in Rome, etc)

    Shame about the big gap on the right, now tho.

    I want to buy a monkey, to carry on the back of the bike, and throw peanuts at the cars as I go by.
    correction - monkey throw poo....have you never seen madagascar.

    Hardly to be taken as a cast iron guarantee there or here, I tend to ignore them, mostly.

    My pet peeve is related to the lurking in the passing lane because “I’m going to turn right at the next intersection but one, in about 20 minutes, and that’s also why I’m indicating now”.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    I've noticed a fair bit of agro on state highway 2. I live in Akatarawa and have to pretty much pass through most of the Hutt Valley to get home. Had a trucker yell abuse at me when I filtered past him yesterday. I think the cagers are starting to fight back. Also noticed in the two lane parts of the River Rd. When theres a build up of traffic and a car hits a passing lane stretch you get the odd clown pull out in front of it and drive slow or pull half way into the other lane to stop the car passing.

    I had it happen to me, so I pulled right into the oncoming lane and nailed it past. Should have seen the look on the cagers face too.

    I keep a good sized rock in the r/f pocket of my jacket. If I find there is a need the rock goes over my shoulder, via my left hand as my right grabs a handful, and bingo! The twat can't see shit and I'm gone. Fuckers.

    Ahhh but those ones won't give you any trouble. They've been at the electric puha, they're real careful, probably just passing through the paranoid phase...
