NZ readers we need your help... |
This one is only relevant to the Kiwi readers but it is probably useful for you to know that the government is currently taking submissions on a few new traffic rules. A few of these are immediately relevant to the local scooter contingent... one is not a bad idea at all... the other... well it takes the foolishness of restricting "mopeds" aka 50cc scooters to 50kph to an even more ridiculous extreme... Â ÂFirst... the one that is a relatively intelligent idea: Proposal 20 Use of motorcycle and moped lights
The next one... not so brilliant: Proposal 10 Set a maximum speed for mopeds
In theory this is just a way to police the existing restrictions imposed upon "moped" riders. However a smarter move would have been to allow these machines, which are still increasing in popularity (globally) to make their full power so they can safely flow with traffic rather than being slow moving speed humps. Please follow the link below and fill in the required form so we don't end up with a ridiculous 50kph top speed restriction being policed here in New Zealand. Full documentation and submission details look HERE

That amendment proposal could be called the Speed Hump Rule.

So if we made a rule that sacked anyone from LTNZ not using their brains, it could be called the, "pothole" rule? I wonder if they are going to tip learner drivers out of unrestricted cars? Probably as likely as strapping a convicted "boy racer" into a chair bolted to the front bumper of a really frustrated Auckland courier van running late to finish their round on a Friday. Or bolted to a 14ft car squeezed head first into a 13ft garage....at speed,,,,many,many times. I think the cager "BOY Racer" who bent my scoot was late home to mummy for "bitty" . I spent some time explaining to him how I doubted his parents were married while wrapping it in a colourful over use of yellow-card language and exclamation marks. If I hadn't had so many people helping I would have RED carded!! ref:BBC Little Britain report abuse
