    Grow up, driving is not a game.
    Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. No driving isn't a game. The rules aren't there so the ref can give out penalties, they are meant to be to prevent crashes. Smart arses like you ignoring the rules that don't suit you deserve the SUV front right sitting on your chest.
    You were the one that said no braking was required, I was the one calling you the fucktard, you have now proved me correct. Thanks

    Fixed that for you. It reads much more honestly now...
    Anyone that uses our roads like you describe yourself doing is a complete fuckwit. The sad part of that is if/when you get taken out, chances are the world will be told it was a terrible tragedy. Like you were some innocent.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    It's not that I don't know how to do it the other way, but that it is too stupid.
    BTW the rule is going to change, so I've always been right.
    Actually ... if you were charged with failing to give way ... under the current rules. Chances are ... you may appear in court after the NEW law is in effect. And most likely found guilty. And fined for breaking a law ... no longer in effect. Funny that.

    Giving false evidence is frowned on in this country. Some law enforcers take it quite seriously even.

    You guys should really take it easy. I do what I do only if I know it is safe to do so. And I know better then the legislator, that is not there with me all the time on the road. And that at last has changed idea on this stupidest rule.
    The police of course is there to fine me if they think so. I'll do what is safe for me anytime. And, by the way, what is safe is what the rest of the world has been doing for the last 50 years and that Nz has just accepted.
    And i never said I don't drive safely in YOUR roads, that's the only rule I don't obey.
    Now if you want to go on offending me, go for it, seems like you've got lots of time to do so, the cows don't need milking today?

    Where is it written that 'the rest of the world has been doing for 5 years' is better/safer than what we had? Utter bollocks. 'Safe' is obeying the rule/s - whatever they are.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Your reply reminded me
    1/ It isn't the rest of the world but only a segment that has this rule
    2/ more of the rest of the world has been driving/riding on the opposite side of the road for centenaries.
    Perhaps the quickest way would be for Gianz to try copying the 'rest of the world' in 2 as well

    He may like to start riding on the right hand side of the road. Thats popular in some places ...

    Judging by his red rep status ... a few may agree with you ...

    I wonder how many red tabs he manages to gather ...

    You, sir, are what's wrong with the world today. You care about noone but yourself. You show a total lack of courtesy. You have no respect whatsoever for the people you share the road with. Yes, there are people inside (or on) thise hunks of metal and plastic.

    While I agree with what I believe you meant by this in this context (and that Gianz is an arrogant fucktard), this is a very dangerous statement. In general (but not always), if we all obeyed the road rules we would all be safer. That does not mean that if we break a few we aren't still safe. The speed limit is a perfect example.

    Not really ....

    With fucktards on the road deciding what is safe for them ... even obeyence of the speed limits does not mean we will all remain safe.

    With the literal live or die aspect ... in whatever decision we (or anybody else) make on the road ... a lottery is a better example.

    Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I meant the speed limit as an example of a law, that if broken, does not necessarily lead to one being less safe. I didn't mean to imply that under it you are safe. Far from it.
