Fair enough
If that was your point, cant argue.
No, the problem is the police will not share your interpretation and will try to address this blip, public pressure will require them to as well. Not liking the interpretation or not agreeing with it will not change things.
fixed it for you. I refer you to.....
Can't have it both ways. The most effective change is one with all stakeholders buying into it.
Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but how many times you have your breath taken away
So true. VERY few people actually understand the true nature of statistics over time. This is one negative of modern media - blips are news - long term statistics aren't.
Fair enough. It is a continuum. No matter how hard you work at it some small risk will remain. That's what makes life interesting.
I'm not sure how that is having it both ways? I've lost count of how many situations I've been in over the years that could've easily led to my demise if my sub-conscious wasn't properly trained. Mostly from the actions of others but also, occasionaly from my own actions.
Yes and no. The most effective change is one that gets implemented. A change that is said to fail if one stakeholder doesn't buy into it will inevitably fail in a large enough population. This is the nature of the species.

so essentially if it was up to us the problem could be solved.....damn and I am busy this year.....
Dont see much there I would disagree with mate.

Cyclists are a diabolical hazard on our roads anyway, since they have a special lane they dont generally use i feel its safer to ride in this than filtering on the right side of vehicles on aucklands carpark roads. and use the large box at the front of some traffiic lights designated for two wheels. doing this in sneakers, stubbies and a wife beater is makes me look awesomewhile checking out pedestrians on queen st. i cant wait to do this new survey.

Balance should not be forgotten when on two wheels

Because if I'm already running late for work, why would I want to be stopped by a prat of a cop who wants to ask me some stupid questions that if they really needed to be asked could be sent out in the form of an email? It may not be a big problem, but it could also be a real inconvenience to be held up for ten minutes or so because they want to know exactly what safety gear you have.
