And cheers Jay

When will the police get a brain and realise that focusing on a minority (skylines etc) doesnt affect road safety whatsoever.

Mainly because.... WE ARE A MINORITY!  

Idiots, if they took every skyline off the road it would affect accident/road safety by like 0.05%. Because there is hardly any of us.

Focus on commodores for example, and your getting somewhere because there is shitloads of them.

Common sence mr popo man  

I thought people joined the police to 'make a difference'. The only things i see police doing are fining people for driving offeences or stopping teenagers and searching their bags for some weed. This isnt making a difference to society.

And how Drink Driving is a less of a punishment than speeding is beyond me, what a joke.  

/

they make a deal outta it cause it sells to older people that hate our exhausts and shit and the older people will vote for that party than.

when someone dies in a high performance vechicle its all over the news. i see more peak hour crashes and stuff. people die in them but it doesnt get a mention cause it was just bad luck. but high performance vechicle crashes the driver had to be doing something wrong in the publics eyes, even if it was the average joe in their camary that pulled out in front of them causing the crash.

everything comes down to ****wit politions i hate them i hate them, their the reason we are picked on, all they are after is votes, they will make up bullshit storys lies etc just for votes. they dont want us racing on the streets yet they dont want to put in race tracks, skid pans etc. only a few of them in brisbane how does 10000+ people all get a go? they will say anything our cars are unsafe my ass just cause its got more power than their car makes it unsafe, but wat we look after ours regular services on brakes, clutch, engine etc its always in tip top condition. hows the home mechanics that just change their own oil cause they know how, how often does there brake fluid get changed??? time bomb waiting there brakes fail bang crash. i stop ranting now

Bastards...

Where is the "Disobey Orange Circle" Fine, its $30 and no points apparantly...

[polishstorm]

so as to what I said above being on a bike if you r riding around the round about in the left lane you have to look over ur shoulder & see if any cars r going to exit befor you ride across the exit but you can also ride in the right lane & slow traffic while you ride around the round about in the right lane befor you exit  

WHAT THE F**K

sorry put some one needs to take a look at the road rules !!!!!!    

sorry 4 going off but the amount of ppl I have doing dumb shit around me while I am riding is well yeah not funny

time for me to vent some anger ocer this bike issue.........if you want to ride on the road on a push bike and get some respect from drivers is:.........pay the same amount of rego as we do or stop your god damn bitchin about gettin run over.....use the bike paths as they were intended....the amount of cyclists i have almost collected due to their inexcusable lack of disregard is astonishing....and befroe you guys rant on about what i wrote well i was a professional road cycclist for 3 years and i stopped cause i realised that the road is for cars, trucks buses and those god damn cabbies.....

[Sciby]

That's a pretty arrogant attitude to have... I'm on the pushie at the moment (yay no licence)... I stay in the bike lane, or over as far as possible when there isn't one present, but at some times, I *have* to share parts of the road with cars, trucks, etc. They're bigger than me, so I give them respect and move out of their way as quickly as I can.

Also, not all bike paths (I'm assuming you mean the concrete paths on sidewalks, not the bike lanes on the bitumen) are bike paths. Some are foot traffic only.

However, you get the instance like yesterday, when I was riding in the bike lane, past the exit for Bunnings... some guy with a patrol was driving out, looked straight through me back at the cars up the road, then started accelerating, straight into me. The only reason why he didn't hit me is because his wife started yelling. I wasn't in a blind spot, he was looking directly *at* me, but just didn't register, for whatever reason. It was 4pm, nice and bright, no excuses if he had hit me.

Anyway, the point is that it goes both ways. There's probably an equal percentage of idiots on bikes as their are in cars, but guess which survives an accident better? And as a ex-professional road cyclist, you should realise that drivers have a certain extra amount of responsibility to actually obey road rules when there's a bike near them, because a rider bruises more easily than a car.

Stopping because you realised the road is for cars, blah blah blah? That's a very strange reason to stop...

[polishstorm]

regardless of why i stopped cycling, IMO if cyclists want to use the road they should pay a rego fee and require a licence simple.

[Sciby]

But why? Cars, trucks, et al, do far more damage to the road surface than a bike, which is what the rego fee generally covers. If you're looking at it from a 'user pays' system, that's not really fair either, as bikes take up only 10% of a road's profile...

As for a pushie licence, it's not a bad idea, although look at the people who have car licences and still don't indicate/drive like a fool, etc.

[krawler]

Just imagine how the cops would be if we were black, gay, midget, skyline drivers....

I have no idea what the fsck you are on about. What you said doesnt make sense on its own, let alone when its refering to what I wrote.

You are about the only person left on here being a wanker for the sake of it. Are you trying to be token mindflux now he seems to have left?

Meh.

[Sciby]

I assume you're referring to Nismoboy there, and not me?

well 4 that matter I have nothing to say but your loss I ride 4 fun & fittness & I am with sciby to that is an arrogant attitude to have... :thumbdwn: it dose go both ways polishstorm thats why when I am in my car I give riders of pushys heaps of room even going as fare as changing lanes to get around them.

Last time I had some ****er run me into the kurb he ended up with a smashed tail light 4 his trouble

[polishstorm]

*OZ*

look if cars were to drive on bike paths what do you pushies out there reakon you would say???? i am not here to bag pushies out or about running pushies off the road i just think it is fair that if we have to give up part of our road for pushies then in a democatic system you should pay like everyone else regardless if it is 10% or 50%...and as for you smashing someone tail light for getting too close to you while your on a designated space for cars to drive then that is the attitude that gets you run over in the first place
