    That reminds me of taking a mate to the doctors for a checkup after a motorcycle accident. Only I didn't have my car licence back then, so I took him on another bike. Crutches went into a backpack (yay for adjustable crutches). He hobbles in, I'm carrying our helmets. Nurses ask how he got injured...

    Got disapproving looks for our solution, then ran over a duck on the way back to his place and he was certain we were going to crash... The adventures you get up to

    Lets be honest. Road policing died with the MOT. Its obvious that they are moving to electric eyes to keep the money coming in.

    On my 7 minutes of motorway I saw 7 drivers using phones. 2 of which were trucks, 1 being a container truck.

    Let's be honest. Spokes needs to get out of D'Auckland more often before making sweeping statements that make him look like a stupid egg.

    Only those that have only been stopped for speed related offenses and infringements ... would believe that.

    Why would anyone want to be out of Auckland?

    It is illegal to sell a rental property, so some have no choice but to stay put and gee up the shit hole in which they reside
    Most Auckland dwellers will complain about said shit hole in which they reside, but only to those who don't live there for the very reason that is being conveyed to them.

    There is life to be lived outside the those city limits that's for sure.
    '' i'd let you touch me.''

    Sorry fulla but I am spoken for.

    You have evidence for your blanket statement?

    Only verbal, they don't complain via email.

    Dunno about that..... I was bitten by a snake a few years ago and the medic gave me an anecdote. I was right as rain in no time.

    You were lucky, some bites can turn sceptic even with an anecdote...

    IIRC, he swabbed it with antisceptic to prevent any infraction.
