It's effective.

You're joking right? You call some one getting a friendly letter effective?

[Bnonn]

Enough reports will presumably get some kind of action, surely? Obviously a single report, or even multiple reports from the same witness, will not count for much. But with three or four reports from independent witnesses, most likely relating to different acts of tardness by the same person, don't the police do anything?

[sunhuntin]

farkin hell!! damn glad you had the sense to back right off. definately saved your ass. them cones are heavy...hope the fuckers got a damn sore arm!!

well done for being vigilant


and as for where the cops are....there were 5 of the suckers outside my house last night. got a POS car for something. dont think it was traffic related, cos i heard no sirens [my room faces the road, and i could hear the crap cars exhaust from over the road] not sure what was going on. lots of swearing and about 3 people taken away. 3 marked and 2 mufti cars.

Fucking nutter cagers.

Riding along,minding my own business, through some roadworksie type (mt wellington quarry) and the guy in the back seat of the car in front of me leans out the window and grabs a cone (at about 40kph) and hauls it in the car..

I back off, this guys obviously run out of P and is probably about to try smoke the cone, when suddenly he decides hes had enough of sharing his seat with his rubbery friend, so he holds it out the window, and turfs it at me with some menacing look on his face. It bounces, and lands in my direct path (ie, middle of the fucking road!)

I had plenty of time to move out, due to nice big following gap, but gargh, I could murder the son of a bitch.

I sped up beside and gave a good bolloxing on the glass window with my new carbon knuckles, ripped the fingers, and he sat there with a sly smile on his face.

Rego is "NT H1S" if anybody feels like having a word if the see him.

I rode about 400k today, and it was a perfect days riding aside from this!

Screw that, what type of car was it, that rego sounds familiar.

Road cones are a bitch lol i snapped a mirror off on one of them.

I dont really know what sort of car it was, next time ill pay more attention.

It was a dark colour, black or dark blue, probably a honda, graffiti style writing top of back windscreen, fart can, etc etc.

Sorry but that rego does not exist on Ltsa computer.

Try another spelling, like DKHEAD, or TOTLFK, probably just a typo.

[Quartermile]

Dude, good to hear your ok,

But to a P ed up SOB like that you gotta watch smashing his window wouldn't be hard for that fuker to yank the wheel towards you

It's effective.

You must have a faulty keyboard dude. There were definitely some letters missing there. Surely you meant to type:
"It's about as effective as trying to dowse a volcano by pissing on it."

Oh, Nice

Bling awarded

[Winter]

hah. Well I did do the online report thingie, should hear something from them in a couple of days..

Will let you know what they say.

[Arthur]

Jeez dude - you were pretty lucky this time. Here's hoping you don't have to put up with this sort of shite again. It still amazes me how inconsiderate cagers can be - regardless of what they're smoking...

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

"It's about as effective as trying to dowse a volcano by pissing on it."

Nice of you to check GB. I was going to suggest taking a trip to the Post Shop to track the jerk and do a little late night score-settling. But that would be taking the law into one's own hands. (Tut tut.)

There's not much anyone can do now. Are you sure you got that rego right? When you've just used all your brains to stay upright it's hard to gather such info accurately.

Glad you're ok. (Wankers.....they're out there.)

Hmmmmmm interesting site....
I put in my old bike rego..... the rego plate that got lost/stolen
81TOR to be told it is taken......

Like wtf.....
http://www.plates.co.nz/search/?legend=81TOR

So does that mean some one else is now using my old plate or what?

And YES, my old rego number plate was reported stolen to the police when it was noted missing.

81TOR came with the bike when I brought the bike..... it was NOT a personalised number plate either.
