    Followed a young feller on a shit old honda 125, riding like a clown

    he ran a red light, then as i was following him he weaved about between two lanes without looking and nearly got squished by a big 4x4, total disregard for what was happening around him. i thought to myself this guy wont last long then tonight on the way home there he was stopped on the side of the road by a copper, hope the cop threw the book at him.

    I hope like hell he gets whats coming to him.

    The only time I have ever ran a red light was when there was no traffic, and my bike couldn't trigger the green. Had a look for potential hazards, then went on my merry way.

    it was red before he got to it and he accelerated through as much as he could, he had time to stop but didnt, he was lucky the driver on the other side of the intersection didnt have a hair trigger. have to say at least he was wearing good gear unlike the guy on a scooter i saw later with bare feet and no gloves

    Doesn't sound like the sort who would accept an offer of help or even believe he needs it. Probably thinks he's the world's greatest rider.

    I saw a guy in a Holden Vectra today carving through the heavy Southern Motorway traffic like a slalom race.

    He passed an unmarked Police car who was in the process of stopping and attempting to save the life of a 111kph driver who was keeping lane and showing respect to other road users.

    Nice one guys! Get the low hanging fruit first.

    You know it makes sense

    You would be supprised... If people actualy reached out and offered... Instead off telling them they are idiots, wankers and they are temporary NZders... no wounder they don't want to listen...

    Try another approach... and again you will be supprised.

    For the guy who perhaps takes the wrong line through a corner, follows to close, or who otherwise puts himself in danger without knowing ... Yes. For the guy who deliberately does shit like accelerating through red lights and weaving through lanes etc ... yes you're right. I would be surprised.
