Motorcyclist tells off van driver - You won't believe what happens next!

[yevjenko]

How many new drivers can drive a manual? Thing of the past.

This is why kiwi drivers are shit. They should all be made to learn and drive the first couple of years in a manual so they have to be more in tune with the car and the events going on around them.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

If I get caught then I get caught.

Agreed. But surely you don't want to increase your chances of getting caught?

I shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. Of all the illegal things I may or may not have done on the road only a tiny minority do I now consider I shouldn't have done. And then I don't need a ticket to pull my head in - the close call is education enough.

Fuck me. You cunts owe me 5mins of my life going through this wank-fest of a thread.

Harden the fuck up.

No I don't really to increase my chances of getting caught. But I do want to increase others that endanger my lifes chances of getting caught. and I can't have it both ways. So for the greater good....

Generally most of my "illegal" activity hasn't endangered me (more than just being on a bike). Things like may or may not have used the cycle lanes and cycle spots at the front of traffic ques. And most of my numb nut moments on the open road have been taking corners at the legal road speed (not the corner suggested speed) things like I can't take a 35 at 80

And I fully agree that not all illegal things are wrong, and not all legal things are right either. e.g. not having to wear a helmet if you wear a turban. Or not wearing any gear at all on a scooter except for a tiny helmet.

By having a camera you are increasing the number of cameras on the road and promoting their use for "observation" of other drivers. Therefore you are increasing your chances (and mine) of being caught on camera and reported.

But I do want to increase others that endanger my lifes chances of getting caught.

Personally I couldn't care less if they're caught or not. As far as I'm concerned the vast majority of "bad" drivers that do things that could be seen as "endangering my life" are of no consequence to me as I look out for them. If an incident happens and I come out still rubber side down then I'm better off to think that their actions are their problem, not mine.

and I can't have it both ways. So for the greater good....

True. The greater good is served best by removing N'th degree of scrutiny we have today. A world where I can look after myself (while doing harm to noone) without fear of being raked over the coals by someone that know's nothing about me or the way I ride is what I'm talking about.


In case you hadn't noticed I'm definitely an "ambulance at the bottom of the cliff" kind of person. I'd far rather that than a fence at the top that blocks the view.

I'm a fence at the top and ambulance at the bottom kinda person. Because there will be some people (me and you) who will jump the fence and base jump to the bottom in total style and land safely. aaaaaand then there will be others that jump the fence trip and fall and drag someone down to their horrible and gruesome death.

What the fuck?

Do I need a builders Report to go on a ride now?

Your Code of Compliance certificate has been emailed to you.

Haha you already do. WOF, Rego, Licence, Laws....... mind you the fence is a bit broken in parts!

I once heard it would be better for learners to ride a motorcycle first in the interest of developing awareness. This was confirmed by a guy on here who said when his wife was learning to ride she found it was necessary to become far more aware than driving a car.

Yes I 100% agree. I became such a better driver after I started riding.

If you can fill in the Hazard Register and file it under your seat, prior to commencing the ride please.

[yevjenko]

Actually no. Most of europe doesn't use automatics anywhere near as much as NZ in my experience. Ireland is getting up there with their japanese import usage going up (and their driving is also pretty bad).

"You won't believe what happens next!" posts can get fucked.

Some people do. They need to build a bridge and get over it.
