So you think that getting cut in half is not that bad. try say it to the family of the rider that died this horrible way a couple of months back.

my boss has just got back from auckland. he saw a car come into contact with a barrier. he said it kept that car out of the opposing lane, but flicked it back the way it had come from. anything directly behind it would have been wiped out. you cant stop in half the distance when that distance is being closed in reverse!

toto... with a name like carver, its no wonder he wouldnt mind being sliced in half.

But what you are missing is that this is a danger that is being put there in the name of safety, when the put a lamp post up that is on a corner they don't claim it will make it a safer road for you to ride on, these things do not make the road safer for any one, in fact they are proveing world wode to be a danger to all who use the roads,
USA about 8 weeks ago for female students dead, why, their car went through a WRBs, it was quoted by the press that this was not the first time the WRBs had failed to stop a car going through the WRB onto the on comeing lane, in most cases the driver was past worrying about any head on with traffic in the other lane, any one who does a search for these things failing will come up with loads of examples as tp how these things fail.

And that is it, in a nutshell. These things are demonstrably UNSAFE for many motorists, predominately motorcyclists, but including low-slung sportscars and heavy traffic.

I must say the tank idea would be quite neat... how bout a few well placed bits of C4 or somthing? Tis easier to find that laying about the place than a spare tank ay.

Just make your own. Have a look at the labels of various stuff in your cupboards...you never know eh?

C-4 Ingredients

* RDX - 91 percent
* Di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate - 5.3 percent
* Polyisobutylene - 2.1 percent
* Motor oil - 1.6 percent

A PIAT should take them out OK. Or a simple shaped charge. Where's Mr Merde, he knows about this stuff.

What country do you live in? We don't have tanks in NZ...

**Ixion** · 28th March 2008, 17:57

Yes we do. One of them nearly ran Mr Motu over a few months ago. Typical cager.

If you cut them at the anchor point they will fire away from you, if you are on the anchor side...... generator on the back of a ute and a big angle grinder with a cut off disc, some flashing lights so you look like roadworkers....

Would feel sorry for anything that ran them over once cut and laying across the road.... Would prob rip the diff's clean out of a truck passing if they got hooked in the wrong place

Tad illegal..... But could be fun...
