Rode code vs actual riding

[quickbuck]

I can tell you one law that is almost universally disobeyed: 30km/h past a school bus that has stopped to let passengers on or off, no mater which side of the road you are on relative to the bus. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone obey this (apart from myself).

Well considering the limit is 20km/hr.......

Crikey, I get advised my tyres on my bike won't pass the next one all the time.
I just smile, say thank you and add, "Nor will my front pads", and ride off.

Amazed that you have no right to offer advise as a safety inspector.... Amazed.

The reason given for me getting the question wrong was that the owner may just ride the bike home from the WOF inspection and not bring the bike out again until the next inspection.

Still makes fuck all sense to me.

and on those same grounds, I would have argued should the rider decide to do a burnout on private land on the way home, he would have less than the legal 1.5mm even if he has just passed a warrant, and may be riding illegally (and not safely) until the next inspection.

That only explains why you cannot categorically state "that tyre WILL NOT pass the next WoF". If you were to suggest that within the next 1000 kms of riding the tyre is likely to be down to the legal limit and should be replaced then how exactly are you doing anything wrong?

Yep, makes F all sense to only ride your bike once every 6 months too....

Oh well, each to their own.

Oh, a mate of mine did that with his Duc though... Got his WOF, then pulled it apart for a servicing. Got it back together in time for the next one...
