I used to ride motor bikes all the time - I check all around me... you are right - I have reading glasses and when even walking around the house I sometimes run into a door jamb or something when carrying something in my arms ..... they wreck your peripheral vision... don't go stepping down off a ladder with them on - you let go two steps up instead of one.....

Don't need them for driving though, but you are right - test is only straight ahead.


Graps, I learned to ride dirt bikes when I was 6, I learned to drive cars in the paddock on a farm when I was 10. I've raced motocross, have done about 50 track days fanging a bike around Eastern Creek at face melting speeds.

I've ridden motorbikes around S/E Asia, from the bottom of Thailand thru Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam in some of the craziest traffic in the world.

I've been in two accidents in my life, both times nearly identical, a multi car bumper to bumper where the car in front of me read ended the car in front of it, I managed to stop in time yet the car behind rear ended me.

Put simply, all drivers are not equal.

What a surprise...OzPol's resident liberal cucks and faggots defend the speed cameras.

Why?  Because liberals hate you and want you to be oppressed.

Every bozo knows that speed limits are nearly always set too low.  After all, look at the term itself.

Speed limit.  A limit should be the maximum safe speed that it is permitted to travel.

Is it ever?

Never.

As such,
speed limit enforcement is one of the many petty tyrannies ordinary citizens have to put up with.


Oh diddums.

Have you tried not speeding.

Works a treat   Wink

I don't understand why everyone is brushing over the overt racism in this thread.

Is no-one else alarmed by it?

Many try, but Herbert is the master.

He manages to be the biggest troll on the forum, AND the biggest victim.

You'll often see him whinging about people ruining his threads simply by having a different opinion to his.

If anyone dares to post facts that contradict Herbert's "arguments", he'll go running to the mods claiming that there are "graffiti artists" destroying his thread.

In Herbert's book, it's his way or the highway.

He also moderates a board here, and quite regularly deletes posts that he doesn't like.

A delightful fellow.

Slopes can't drive - what's wrong with that simple statement of fact?

Is someone suggesting that Slopes, Dinks, Gooks, Chinkers, Slants, Kurry Kaffirs etc are not part of the human race?

Like I've said...those who scream it....are it.

You can say it was a red car but not a black human.
A green motorcycle as opposed to a white gunman.
A yellow helicopter or a mifdle eastern muslim terrorist.

Stupid brainwashed humans and their "me too" rubbish.

If a red car is involved in an accident, does that mean that all red cars are dangerous?

Depends on the make of that car doesn't it? I know the new ford rangers are catching on fire atm. Massive recalls happening. Not all of them are duds but a few are hence the alert bulletins being posted out.

I know all of the ford mustangs have one of Australias lowest safety ratings. All of them. Fkkn fords.


I cannot see the problem in a clear discription though. It's not racist to provide clear information regarding a human being.

So, colour has nothing to do with it.

Thanks for proving my point.

AaaaaaarrrRRGGHH!  The Volvo driven by the old guy in a white hat....

Sticker on the back of my Terr'u'tree says:-  "Caution - Cranky Old Git At The Wheel!"

Might get a white hat to wear in the car to REALLY frighten 'em!

Passing a truck in a huge rain downpour one day, and rear window totally washed out even with wiper going, and some young fool flashed and horned me for giving the truck a long space before I cut back to the left AT 110 kph in the pouring rain, mind you .... I then did the same to him and sat on his right hand rear as if ready to cop-dump him... he sh!t himself....

Don't mess with old guys.... what you think you can do they've been doing for fifty years...

That is their decision they need to live by it, I live on a single lane double lined road no where to pass legally and the speed limit is 50. If they hit someone on the other side of the road its unlikely to impact me.

Why not just follow the speed limit its a residential area. I never speed in a 50 zone.
We have at least 1 accident per month mostly minor.
There was a big one where a speeding truck took out someones toy Nissan GTR.... moved it about 5 metres and made it about a metre smaller. Based on the damage this guy did to 3 vehicles he was doing well over 80 !




I'm talking about defensive driving -
that's the advice that I'm passing on.


Pull over and let the idiots pass.


Advice ignored

I prefer not to enable bad driving techniques and rather enjoy there faces going bright red. I am more than happy for them to pull over and have a discussion about their moronic driving methods.

Even using you wimpy theory they will have to cross double lines being dangerous anyway. You seemed to have not read my post closely enough.



I read your post and I don't agree with it.
You don't know who you're going to meet up with on the road -
it could be an ice addict with a machete.
I think most tailgaters are on ice.
Let them go - let them kill someone else.



No your just being paranoid.
If a meth head wants to get out his car I am an ex rugby forward I would probably enjoy the workout if they want to get out and discuss such issues Smiley
So which meth infested area do you live in ?



Meth heads are everywhere -
it takes 6 cops to hold one down.

People like me with mad driving skills and a safe modern car should be allowed to drive faster than a gook who's just received their license and grips the wheel like death and aren't even relaxed enough to do a simple head check before changing lanes.


Is this typical of the kind of comment found on this site? I've been watching for a few weeks and i see comments like this go unchallenged.

I don;t understand, Do you all think this is OK?


It is a seemingly insincere big-noting of himself, with casual racism thrown in for good measure in contrasting driving styles of various drivers in this country. Nothing to get one all bent out of shape.... unless he crashes. Then he would get "bent out of shape".
