"Slanty eye" - East Asian, or "darkie" - Indian sub-continental Asian?

Focus on the Bikes mate....Those fucking idiots riding...

But...Oh sorry..I forgot. As she drove past I saw her D/L......Taiwan/Hong Kong as I recall.
BTW....Travelling for the best part of 35 years I knew, yes I knew she was from Causeway Bay....Wan Chai actually...

Why cant we do this in NZ? : In California, the only state in America that does not prohibit the act of Lane Splitting/Filtering, the practice is taught to student riders and even encouraged by the California Highway Patrol due to benefits to safety, congestion, and environment.

I knew there was something fabulous about you mate. Let the spear chuckers lord themselves over you, if it wasnt for us this lot would still be eating each other. Shame about the Moa's though, reckon they would have made a good roast

Oscar should be along soon to cite Section 61 of the Human Rights Act.

First part of quote: I hope you learned something for you troubles then. Wasted "lesson" if you go out and repeat it.

Second part of quote: If you expect road users to indicate everything they do then you're pretty naive. The fact that they don't do something they're supposed to is irrelevant once you are smeared over the tarseal. Lane splitting (we all do it) is arguably one of the riskiest things riders do. Considering that some seem to think it quite acceptable to do at speed (and generally we only do it when traffic is at its densest) it shouldn't come as any surprise when all turns to shit we come off second best. For the record I only split if traffic is under 50 kph

; otherwise I'm happy enough to remain in my lane while others fly past me, carving it up. All good to them - I don't really care - as long as I'm not in their sphere of collateral damage when they cock up.
