Has the current propaganda focus on speed and road safety affected how you ride?

If all you motorcyclist travelled at the posted speeds there would be no need for this poll.

I cannot believe people would travel over the posted speed. That`s just crazy , and Dangerous.

But Drink/Driving is different , cause when your`e pissed it makes you invisible.

But in all seriousness , yeah defineately. I watch out for the constabulary alot more, even if I`m over by 10ks , just don`t need to add more to the gubbermint coffers.

expected a reply .... wasn't dissapointed ...

Noticed the Road Safety bit in the title , Here`s a point , why don`t they actually make the roads safer.

Instead of adding 20 or 30 kms of straight road , why don`t they make those little twisty-turney bits safer , by getting rid of tar snakes/pea gravel and a range of other crap?

Sorry about the rant ( well not really)

I'd be happy if they simply stopped installing hard immovable shit onthe outside of corners. Well, not actually happy, as such... there's a fuckload of money being spent on not eliminating killer road furniture.

I see they've taken to sticking multiple posts-with-arrows around the outside of most of the corners on SH58, presumably to minimise the chances of survival should you fail to identify where the road went.

What campaign? Witnessed Mr Plod chassing a red triumph triple today, very enteraining. Probably because he was wearing a t-shirt and they wanted to give the bloke a safely leaflet.

[Conquiztador]

Oh and I am currently looking at radar detectors. Thou the latest plan of plod, where they will install plate identification cameras at a distance apart and then have software that calculates how long it took to get from A to B (we are talking mutiple Km's apart here) and if you could NOT have done that distance in the short time it took you they will fine you, is a new twist. The way I understand it these cameras could be 50Km's apart... Makes me wonder if that gizmo James Bond had on his old Aston Martin (press button and the plate is swapped) is not the way to go...

I suspect if he was wearing just a red T-shirt then the officer was probably concerned about his genitalia flapping around in the wind ........

Too small to see thank goodness. They didn't take note of the speed indicater sign they where approaching when it was flashing "SLOW DOWN". Maybe it was just a publicity stunt.
