Consequences if caught riding on new road not open

[Blackbird]

haha, the only time I've used that as a drag strip guess who/what I found coming towards me about half way along?
He didn't bother turning after me at least.

A bunch of us on Blackbirds and 'busas went down there on the way to East Cape a few years ago. Nothing on the road fortunately

The road from Rainbow Mountain on the Rotorua-Taupo road towards Murapara - 7km long straight. Best on a weekday, less aggravation

Doesn't count, it's all down hill going towards Murupara. The state highway out of Taupo going towards Rangitaiki on the Napier/Taupo road is good but highly Policed.

I did 200 km/hr on my ST1100 on a long straight through the canefields out of Mackay in tropical central Queensland. That was a oncer just to see how fast she'd go. I believe there were another 20 to 30 km/hr in her at that speed. When you say it's 125 mph it doesn't sound as fast.

I'm wondering what I can be charged with if caught.

nothing unless you do damage... you have to give your name etc if you get stopped (caught)... then they warn you that you're trespassing & don't do it again, get caught again you get a written warning & then if caught again done for trespassing... pretty sure that's how it goes, but then I could be wrong

The definition of a 'road' in the legislation includes 'A place to which the public have access, weather as of right or not'.
Which includes closed or yet-to-be-opened roads.

So in short you could still be ticketed / lose licence blah blah.

The 14kms long straight from hurunui to culverden is a good place But it's filled with cops all year round.
