Unresolved conversation...

This is yet another example of why I say everyone should have to pass a scratch and win test each time they renew their license. Wont fix bad driving, but at least it should help people get a handle on the road rules. How many other rules do you not know that you don't know?

I concur, at an absolute minimum. If nothing else it will force them to make at least some attempt to keep abreast teehee! of new regulations and perhaps alert them to bad habits they've inadvertently developed. Ideally, I'd like to see full retesting every 5-10 years - we'll never break this cycle of shit driving if we don't target the older generation that teaches the younger generation.

Holy cow that's a lot of posts for a stop sign!!

I read in another forum thread something along the lines of "stop and ask yourself if you'd do that with a cop immediately behind you"
Tis a good rule I think.

My $1.47 worth, just stop, then look, then go. In that order.

Been to a heap of crashes where riders and cars alike have been rolling slowly, while checking quickly, then going, then bang.

As for putting feet down, one foot two feet, just do either. But my thoughts are put a foot down, it shows you have stopped. (think cop behind you).

If you want to practice balance - which is a good thing to do - an intersection is probably not the ideal spot to do it.

That's a biiiiig list. You a paid-up member of the FunPolice?

With that number of crashes attended ... I would think so ... but I often regulate behaviour based on how close they are to catching me

I don't plan on heading to Auckland anytime soon, so you'll be safe. Try not to lose sleep over it!

Unfortunately your ilk infest every corner of our otherwise lovely country - and they all have your cavalier "don't care" attitude too.

No, I was merely looking for a reply to satisfy my suspicions. Thanks for the confirmation!

ROFL Nice.

No, not the fun police either team, just my humble opinion.
I have seen some stuff that does an excellent job of regulating my riding habits.

What a crock of shit. There is nothing in that post that you couldn't tell from the last 3,000 - I don't hesitate to point out inconvenient truths.

Lets face it. My original quote of you in this thread shows your ignorance and your reply to max preload shows you are resistant to learning.
Stop trying to weasel and divert attention from the real issue. The sooner you acknowledge you have a problem the sooner you can begin your recovery.

I don't know

Of course not, none amongst us do, myself included, hence the suggestion that we find out by doing a scratch and win at each license renewal.

Like you, I don't need to search through a mountain of threads to form an opinion. My initial thought was that you're an "Opinionated judgmental prick"! Now I'm thinking "Selective reading, opinionated judgmental prick"!

Perhaps I’m guilty of that too, but in this case I'll live with it!

Lets face it. My original quote of you in this thread shows your ignorance

I'm prepared to own that!

your reply to max preload shows you are resistant to learning.

Absolute crap! I replied to a big x, when I was wanting a reply from Scumdog. I'd missed Max's post with the link to Land Transport, so at that stage Max's rather basic reply meant nothing. I found his earlier post after looking further and acknowledged it in my later post. Perhaps you didn't get that, so maybe we should both be stoned to death?

Not a lot to say to that really, accept maybe look in a mirror and take a chill pill!

This will be my last reply to you, so have a nice day!
