    Please don't encourage them,we have enough fools to put up with on the AK motorways now thanks.

    Something I noticed just lately,,lot's of the cars that do dumb shit in front of my truck have this oval sticker on em'.

    Say's something like "Taranaki halfwit",,,I might have the exact wording a bit wrong,but I'm sure staying the fuck away from Taranaki if that's where their coming from.

    In France the fast lane is the slow lane, unless you are coming towards yourself when the slow lane is the lane left of the fast lane on the right.

    I could not possibly put it better, but you can guarantee that some of the driving is bonkers! :

    Yes, I was being a bit flippant. A better solution might be a community service sentence requiring them to go out with ambulance crews & help clean up some of the Saturday night messes for a while.

    I never said anything about Bike riders being better (Hell...I suck in a car!)
    I was making a point in regards to the fact that we don't have the luxury of making so many "mistakes" (As shown the vid)
    ...cars get panel damage!...we get hurt, crippled or killed!
    Hence we "should" be safer than most car drivers (or ya not gonna enjoy riding for long!)


    ...are there really bikers out there, and on here, that are so stupid they haven't figured this out yet??

    So as I said before...(for a reason)

    Ride Safe KBers...cos there panel damage...could be our life!

    See I took that to be a bit Darwinish, if the biker don't get it right they learn quick smart or are knocked out of the race. If a cager fails we again suffer so learn to watch out for cagers, doesn't seem to apply to pedestrians in Wellington so perhaps it isn't that simple. Yes there a bikers that are idiots, you tube is full of them but they don't stay that way long whereas cagers can go their whole driving lives being drongos.

    But really? are you turning down the opportunity for a ride and a coffee? is the company that bad?

    Thing is,,they don't get any worse,they simply stay the same.

    Unlike the conditions,,and that's what catches the dumb fucks out.

    You see it every time it's been fine for a few days an then it rains,,they turn AK's motorway into the biggist car park in the country.

    It can go from 1 hour "Waiuku to the North Shore" too anything up to 2 hours,,or more if one of them manages to kill themselves.

    Same road,same people,,but the clowns never alter their driving to suit the conditions.

    It's the rains fault man,

    It's just a "kiddie set" thing.

    They get over it once they work out it's easier to pick up the groceries in a car.

    After they've left home.

    Quick way to describe all the vehicles that envelope the drivers. Yes most drive them but it is like using bikers instead of motorcyclists.

    Just remember - always give cages room to do something stupid! (Last time I forgot that piece of advice I dumped the bike!)
    Plenty of people that drive cars/vans/etc are bloody hopeless, agreed.
    However everyday during my commute I see a far higher percentage of numptiness from organ donors.
    Weaving like mad buggers, assuming that others have seen them, riding without lights on whilst lane splitting.
    Some are doing themselves no favours

    I Haven't seen many bikers doing stupid things. Seen the odd idiot lane splitting at stupid speeds. Had someone try pass me on the left while I was stuck in peak hour traffic, not enough room so they had to wait behind me, traffic was merging (fuck this once I get my L's!!!!) As for drivers - I wonder how some people get their licenses. Half of them can't even maintain basic throttle control on 4 wheels. 100 km/h on the motorway you'd think they could do this, but no. 90..........95.......... randomly go up to over 100. Nope wait let's have a wank...... hard tug, ah there........suddenly drop down to 85 km/h. WHAT THE FUCK FOR! There's usually nothing in front of them as you pass them. I wonder what it was. A pebble? A corner? I have seen some go from 90 to 70 just for a curve. Look in the mirror and they are on your ass. And then eventually they go away, and then come back......Its usually some pile of shit with faggotmatic transmission - easy as to drive so why the fast and slow shit?

    Last night was a typical night driving, me and a friend going to get another friend from his work. First a crappy brown mid 90's corona driving past Lincoln rd exit on the motorway. 110. 90. 100. Fast. Slow. Fast. Weaving all over his lane, nearly hits the barrier twice, nearly hits my mates car. Did go a little quick to get as far away from wank-a-lot as quickly as possible so we didn't get sideswiped/pushed off the road/into a ditch/pole.......

    Stuck my head out the the window and roared at them, my mate was on the horn. Same thing in Mt Roskill when someone didn't indicate and completely cut off the car and proceeded to go 35 km/h. Funny they indicated after I yelled. I'm not angry, but they have to know for fuck's sake someone will die if they keep this shit up. Again with the idiot who has to stop in the middle of the road because the didn't give way, duuhhhh, the triangle sign on that side street which you turned out onto Dominion road says Give Way.

    Driving tests should be made MUCH harder. If they can't even do the basics of throttle control and steering, let alone giving way, indicating, head checks........ what the hell are they even doing on the road. Speed may be a factor, in crashes but it's not all. Its the stupidity of retards swerving and wanking, the not looking/giving way. Excuse the rant had to get it off my chest. I hope someone will see this and actually do something about it.

    Wonder how they would do on bike with the throttle control? Oh and tape the cornering
