A Politician with a backbone?
Fantastic Bert - will do. Don't worry, the letter to the Transport Safety Minister is only the first step - I'll pester his office to get a quick reply - because sometimes it can take months. I can pretty well guess the initial tack he's going to take and I'll post it here. Then I'll invite members ...

A Politician with a backbone?
Hi Bert A politician with a backbone? From my knowledge they became extinct in New Zealand after Michael Joseph Savage if history tells me rightly. If you want to make a difference, you have to be prepared to stand up for yourself these days. So I'd invite you to put your name to my letter to the Tr...

speed limits (was George Bush)
Hi Kate Thanks for making some very good points and thanks for sharing them. What you've said about making it harder to get and keep licences is an especially good - and agree strongly about the tougher driving tests. And you're right about the tourists cutting the corners - it's the same over this ...

Sorry Kate But you're wrong about this. The Police told me face to face that the motorcylist was speeding. You have to be able to drive according to the conditions and be able to stop in half the visible distance - regardless of the posted speed limit - or you're termed to be speeding. All my extend...

Back then it featured and explained how two V6 engines were welded together and their cra...

Great stuff Biff. With posted and privately sent e-mails, that brings the tally to six people, after just a single day, willing to place their name on the letter to the Minister of Transport Safety. For those that might have missed it - and now with the correct address - I'll post it again just this...

Hi Darryl Fair enough mate. Look I'll tell you what - you make a good point about misled facts for the sake revenue gathering - take taxes on small business for example - and that's why I'm still working - still at least half an hours work to go and look at the time. Gazza, you'd make a very good ad...

Biff The bottom line is this - I've been referring to one simple law - just one. Keep within the speed limit on public roads for reasons of safety - so why all the political detail?

Agreed, speeding doesn't necessarily mean that you will have an accident,
but it does increase the chances.
