Christchurch crash facts

[ajturbo]

Okay.

Per the OP, at the weekends the greatest risk of a motorcycle crash is on the open road between Christchurch and Akaroa. They are lone vehicle crashes, motorcycle fails to take a bend.

Appears to me that it's about riders over cooking corners. That's why I posted about taking a laser out there and giving it a nudge.

Nudged today for an hour. Didn't want to get Azkles back up, so I set up on a straight, targeting vehicles exiting a corner at the start of the straight I.e. vehicles coming around the corner fast.

In 46 minutes I stopped three folk to chat to.

A cyclist wearing no helmet. He had a medical exemption. Go figure.

A biker at 122. Nice line out of the corner though. Ticket issued. Had a good chat about crashes on the Akaroa road. Nice bloke.

Another biker at 112. First thing he said was "That's my Licence then". Like, it was MY fault. As it happened, I checked and he had 120 points already. Didn't even write the ticket, but we had a good chat about how some folk go through life with no tickets at all. And how some folk just keep getting them.

Quite a few other bikers went past, some waved 5 fingers, betting that some waved 2.

Just an update. We'll be nudging the Akaroa road at weekends. No speed, no ticket.

Donuts.

Doh!!!

How many more KBers am I going to have to stop before I get bribed with donut vouchers?

Out of interest, how did it feel? I'm always interested in feedback, and here's a good place to hammer me if I deserve it........Was I a condescending, nasty revenue collecting quota bastard?

That not a "was it as good for you ... as it was for me" question ... ??? was it .... ???

You should have asked that before you wrote the ticket.

I'm already in credit so don't bother stopping me

Aren't they all

Cancelled a ticket today.

Stopped a bloke 4 weeks ago, no bike Licence. Wrote him the ticket. Told him I was running a devious scheme to deprive the Gubbermint of fine revenue. If he got a Licence I'd cancel the ticket.

Called me today, stoked that he had the 6L. Ticket cancelled.

Treasury must be rolling in its grave.

Go on Kicker, have at you.

It seems to just come naturally for some. Taking the ticket book out of the glovebox might help.

No. That description doesn't fit Scummy at all. I thought you meant Howard Broad.
