Police crackdown

[BoristheBiter]

... yeah, i really don't get it . My "argument" isn't that we crash less than other vehicles. I FULLY understand, and have written so on KB, that we have more injuries per motorcycle user than a car does per car user. They have a larger user base to spread their injuries across, it is to be expected.

My "argument", is that motorcyclists have nowhere near the ACTUAL crash, injury, or death stats that cars have (irrespective of their risk ). Excusing it by saying that you expect it to happen, based on their larger numbers, is jamming ones head in the fuckin sand and accepting that nothing can be done. I'd love to see the number of incidents they cause, as i believe they will be huge numbers. That drastically reduces a motorcyclists "safety" on the road. Tis just a person, in a vehicle that hasn't paid attention, has pushed too hard, has understeered the corner etc... The choice of vehicle has next to fuck all to do with it other than shaping some of the incident outcome. But sure, go ahead and pin it on motorcyclists

You just go on believing thats its safer to drive cars and we will just leave it there.

But we are not talking crash stats, we are talking about injury crash stats.

no i don't see the irony

Can you have an injury without a crash?

It has to be, its plain to see.

If a car rear-ends you, what would you rather be in/on, a car or a bike?

we could do this one for a while. They both have their merits. If i see the car in my mirrors, i'd rather be on a motorcycle. At least I have a chance of getting away injury free. Much easier to drop a bike and dive out of the way than it is to unbuckle the seat belt, reach for the door handle, open the door, drag my ass out of the car and then leap to safety. There's no way out for the car driver, so in the car i'd have to absorb the rear-ending and keep my fingers crossed that I don't end up with whiplash or worse

Yeh, I spilled coffee on myself this morning while walking past my bike Didn't spill it when I was by the Hilux or kayak. So, I have proven ACC is correct.

"IF I see" - few people rear-ended actually realise they are about to be.

And most who did only realised it at the last second.

Good luck with the 'dive out the way' thing if it ever happens to you.

I'll blame the kayak. I'm not going without coffee, I'd get my murder face on!

Word has helped you typo your own letter too. When you mention Carterton, you write the date as 7th October 2010-11-30...

well if its "enforceable", which under a justice system it would not be (shame we don't have one of them) you've got a year to save up :

I had a girl friend who could say that......

Giggity giggity.

That doesn't surprise me . Again though, that doesn't mean I wouldn't see it either or be able to get out of the way too... however unlikely it seems...

Thanks for the luck... With all that denial i'm oozing and with the amount of cars on the road, causing the amount of CARnage that they do, I reckon i'll need it... I must be due for a smash if the stats are anything to go by
