    So do people intentionally crash their cars into the Bealey Ave motels?

    Nuh, but they hurl bottles/cans, damage fences, piss in gardens. Pretty sure they wouldn't like it if people went around to their places, or say their parents places and acted in the same way.

    I fail to see how banning cruising is going to stop vandals from destroying other peoples property.

    Well, for us, getting rid of the boy racers (cost a few grand to eliminate their access, but has been extremely worthwhile) has meant:
    - No more broken beer bottles in the car park (hooray!!!)
    - No soot stains on walls where little dick heads have left their cars running for ages with their exhaust in close proximity
    - No used condoms to clean up
    - No cigarette butts to clean up
    - No more broken windows and other misc property

    Banning cruising doesn't get rid of 100% of vandals, just (in Christchurch on a weekend evening) most of them.

    If that hadn't have worked, I would have simply z nailed them again.

    Um. if the vandals are in cars and the cars arent around then the vandalism will reduce. QED

    It's always funny to see how people think that by eliminating 'boy racers', all of lifes problems will be solved. It will not stop the vandals who go around destroying property, it will not stop people from littering and it will not stop violence.

    Drunk idiots are going to be drunk idiots, no matter what laws the government brings in. If these people are not out in cars causing trouble, then they will be out on foot causing at least as much trouble.

    The majority of people who go out cruising are fairly responsible people, it's the idiots (who are very easy to spot) who drive around in their $500 Corollas with cut springs, matt black paint jobs, wheels that stick out 30mm past the guards and window tints so dark it's amazing that they driver can even see out of the side windows. These are the people who cause the majority of the problems, from what I have seen.

    so even the boi racer community has a caste system? I thought untouchables were untouchables (apart from the bonnet fucks, but I wouldnt touch them with yours)

    One example of someone who thinks this? I haven't read anything in this thread that suggests that.

    It will not stop them all, as they're not all boy racers, but it will stop those that are, and in the case of the four aves, that means 95% of them. Previously, before they were moved on from Colombo st, you might get the occasional drunk who would urinate on the shop front... I don't know, maybe twice a year? Which is a fuck of a lot better than 10 times a weekend. So I guess it's more like 99.2% of them then.

    Wrong again... If that were the case, then it wouldn't be an ever increasing problem that follows around where the boy racers currently haunt.

    Wrong wrong wrong, and I have the video evidence to prove it.

    I live in St Albans, I work in Riccarton, so I go down Harper Ave quite regularly. The bottles/cans/rubbish littering almost the entire strip of road is amaing, and proves it's not the minority. And watching the cars roll through town, 80% are pieces of shit, '85 Lazers, old skool 'rolla's, trashed hatchbacks of varying vintage, even WRX's and the early Evo's are looking pretty fucking rough these days. The other 20% are made up of vehicles the owners have put both time and money into, some very nice examples from old V8's etc through to late model hi-po Japanese (and on occasion Euro) sedans and coupes. But these are by far the exception.

    You're an ignorant fool if you think that we believe the anti-cruising law will stop all vandalism, or solve all of lifes problems, a pathetic argument employed only because you know what we are saying is correct. Heck imdying can give you personal experience on how eliminating access to businesses on Fitzgerald Ave has reduced vandalism for them. And the same will happen on Bealy Ave and the rest of them now too.

    A lot of us have had or still have hi-po cars. A lot of us used to cruise the streets every Friday and Saturday night. None of this is new to us. But what is new is that the new crop who have taken over from the likes of imdying and me (and many others on here) have well and truly shat in their own nest. No one to blame but themselves.

    And the ones it hasn't eliminated are now captured on camera and prosecuted. Half a century without it, but the wave of little boys in their shit heap cars became too much at the last law change.

    I feel sorry for those retailers on Colombo St who had to put up with it increasingly for the decade previous.

    Had a client who rented a warehouse/workshop/office in Carlyle street. EVERY weekend there was poo in their garden-ette out front, broken glass all over the road and carpark, they were successfully broken into twice, had two other attempts they were aware of. used rubber johnnys all over the place, and an overpowering smell of piss. Used to high pressure wash every Monday.

    Then, when the po po finally got tough (about a month before their lease was up), and moved on the boi racer scum, wow, amazing, no problems.

    Unit is still vacant, or was last I looked.
