Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Had an interesting situation last Sunday evening.
Lilfox and I were returning from d'Auckland, (in her cage) driving through Ngaruawahia in the 50km zone...A patrol car pulled out from a side road up ahead of us. We continued on behind.
A little way up the road, the patrol car indicates a right turn (no intersection here by the way - just on a straight piece of road.) He then pulls to the left hand side of the road and stops, still indicating a right turn.
Given the history of U-turning patrol cars, I was decided dodgy about passing it when it was indicating a right turn. I figured if I went past and he spun across and clobbered me, it would be deemed to be myself at fault. So I stopped, flicked the headlights to indicate I would wait, and he turned across. Just slightly inconveniencing the traffic coming the other way. I did get a smile and wave of acknowledgment for my troubles...
I woulda done the same on the bike. ESPECIALLY on the bike...![]()

Aahh, yes, the old 'I'm winding you up' accusation when someone holds you to account and erodes your argument on the internet.
The adult version of 'thats you but what am I'.
Brilliant stuff.
Tick tock tick tock... this is really getting beyond a farce...![]()
If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!
It appears that charges have been laid against the police officer ' Dangerous driving causing death '.
The wheels of justice grind slowly but they do get there.

The officer has been charged with dangerous driving causing death and injury and as the case is before the courts, the IPCA made no finding as to whether his actions were contrary to law.
But Justice Goddard said the decision to charge him was justified and she called his decision to attempt a u-turn at that location highly undesirable.
It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
Still interesting the speed Mr Brown was estimated at, 135 and 155kmh. Though not sure if it really made a difference in the end but just that some people out there are going to use that against us bikers to justify higher ACC, Rego etc..
Still the end the police offcier made a very poor choice and ended a mans life for the sake of a speeding ticket quoter.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death

Another interesting comment in that Stuff news article was;
"The police officer's blood alcohol breath test came back negative, while Mr Brown's was also below the legal limit."
NB: It does not say Browns was negative, it says below the legal limit.
Nice to see the cop was clean,as should each and every person driving when using a vehicle is part of their job,most people if crashing a company vehicle would be fired if testing positive I believe.The rider obviously had had a beer or two(unlike those on highway patrol having "a couple")so alcohol was evident in his system.But the reprter could've said both blood alcohol tests were negative.
Hello officer put it on my tab
Don't steal the government hates competition.
"A police crash investigator told the ICA any speed above 101 kmh may have been too fast for Mr Brown to brake in time"
i loved this line..... so if paul was going 100 he would have stopped in time? i keep forgetting the magical powers that 100kmh have![]()
