Run red lights, go over pedestrian crossings, cycle on the footpath (one guy on his mobile), pull straight out into traffic, wobble all over the road, don't wear helmets... No wonder so many get knocked off their bikes. Being a smug git isn't going to help when your flesh hits a metal car you twats! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted April 11, 2015 If you think $40 is a slap on the wrist for something that caused neither harm nor inconvenience then you have more dollars than sense. Since when did $200 fines for driving on bus lanes make sense? It doesnt cause harm nor inconvenience (most of the time) How about $100 for not having having up to date registration? or any other council or police infringements. They are always stupidly overpriced hence my point being $40 aint too bad. Especially if you got towed it would be $150-200, a taxi or friend to take u to the yard, a couple hours of your time etc If you dont pay on a pay and display area the starting fine is $40. If you paid but overstayed by less than 30 mins then its starts at $12 and goes up. So anyway id say $40 isnt all that bad. But contrary to my point, does the coucil even have jurisdiction at that location? Isnt it infront of a private building? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 12, 2015 In my case I done the math, it's cheaper take parking tickets a couple a month, cheaper to pay the fine than put $2 in the meter every time I park for 15 20 mins. Take from that what you will. Tho I avoid handicap 95% of the time, and pick and choose the yellow lines ones, some yellow lines are just silly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted April 12, 2015 Cyclist of the week award goes to the clown that was cycling the wrong way up the road yesterday, extra points were awarded for: 1) the road in question being SH1 and pretty busy 2) having no helmet on 3) wearing a hi-viz t-shirt. I know many think wearing hi-viz makes you invincible, but from many injuries I have seen this is not true in real life! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benpaul12 62 Report post Posted April 13, 2015 Cyclists only annoy me early in the morning when they think they're in the Tour de France with 50 cyclists using the whole road. Otherwise I give them plenty of room and respect them. Motorcyclists on the motorway on the other hand annoy me with their lane splitting at high speed!

PLEASE don't think we're all the same! Another cyclist here (and a law abiding one). Honestly going through this thread reading some of the attitudes towards cyclists on the road scares the sh*t out of me. I've been hit by cars more than once, and have lost a friend in a bike accidents caused by motorists. As douchey as some cyclists can be, realize that any altercation that might happen on the road, the cyclist is going to be the one that comes out worse off. Just like motorists, there are good cyclists and bad cyclists. For the most part, a bad cyclist is just risking their own neck. Maybe go out and ride a bike to see what it feels like to be on the receiving end of a bitter motorist clipping past you at 100kmph and screaming out the window with 15cm of clearance. Most cyclists are drivers, but most drivers aren't cyclists. 'Flesh hitting a metal car' is still somebody's brother, father, sister or mother.
