Don't get me started on 40 zones. Why can't we teach kids, like we were, to be careful near roads and how to cross safely. Then the world doesn't have to go on slow motion just in case they run out in the road. We survived without slowing the space time continuum down for our safety....bring back Hector the road safety cat.

Because those same roads now have a lot more cars travelling them. Because now those schools don't have 100 kids attending with undeveloped frontal lobes (the bit that decides what's dangerous and what's safe - especially slower developing in males) there's 2000 of them. Because the image of an unthinking child bouncing off your windscreen isn't an image you can erase - ever. Because it's only going to take an extra 30 seconds to get where your going. Because there's too many mums and dads gone to work long before the kids have gone to school so they can afford to keep a deal or 3 of speed in the dresser and because too many of them haven't got the freeking neurons left intact to teach their kids road safety.

Ever seen a childs brain matter on a car or on a paramedics boot while they're trying to intubate a kiddy with 0 chance of survival after they've been run over by a drug fucked moron doing 60 in a school zone?

It's 30 seconds of slowing down to save little ones lives.

Small price.

I'll ignore the apparent dig at working mums and dads (and FYI - with a veritable cornucopia of recreational pharmaceutical indulgences available, speed is so yesterday), and just agree with the rest of the post.

Police 40 zones with returning jihadists and tell them anyone doing over 40 is a Zionist

Read it again....

there's no "Dig" at all. Being a working dad myself and having been the sole provider and parent for my son from the time he was nearly 3, I can appreciate the need to work and balance family needs. Trust me, I get it. The "Dig" is at the ones that are so busy doing all the less important stuff for all the wrong reasons and missing the important stuff, like putting their kids safety and welfare before all else.

Fair enough. I must be extra touchy today
 
Bikes, cars, utes.
Stupidly noisy exhausts.
Guys, they didn't come out of the factory that way.
They don't make it go much faster, especially in a 40 zone.
Find another way to let the world know you're hung up about the size of your little dick! Because I'm not interested.

Haha, agreed, the other one is those retarded off road tires on four wheel drives that never leave paved roads.

I get that people like to present the image that they are rugged out doorsy types (I'm not sure why, the out doors are pretty shit, why you'd want to spend your leisure time in them is a mystery to me) but they are expensive, wear out quicker, have shit road holding properties and ruin what would be a perfectly fine vehicle with insane amounts of road noise.

Now all that is fine, if you want to ruin your car ride and waste money then more power to you, but stay the **** out of my nice quiet street at 3 in the morning, that bloody tire noise sets off every dog in the area, and most people around here have dogs.

Well as a motorcyclist, I must take you up on loud exhausts.

Loud pipes save lives. Since the majority of motorists are ignorant to bikes ( purely because they dont F%$^&G look ) but when they hear one they tend to look around at spot the bike.

As one who has been nearly knocked of a bike numerous times because cage drivers dont look, I can say that you can visibly see a car driver noticing a loud bike

As for them little shitbox Hyundies etc with milo tin exhausts...yeah..thats just a wank, no need for loud pipes on cars...

Good point Stu. But is it legal?
I lived in the UK a long time and laughed at biker mates who used to dismantle the noisy exhausts every year to put on the factory fitted one for the annual MOT (roadworthy test) because it would fail otherwise.

(can you tell I live near quite a busy junction?)
 
Yes. It is now legal. The EPA used to be NAZi's about it, but have now accepted the fact and no longer chase noisy motorbikes

If u are serious, and u sound to be, that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Hopefully you don't plan on having kids. Getting outdoors and camping is one of the most awesome things one can do, especially in our country. I don't have kids yet, but I'm guessing it's even greater for them.

You are well correct on the mud tyres on a city 4x4 though, they cost big big dollars and are very pointless unless u are hitting mud tracks ALOT. They make driving on the road noisy as hell, and make driving in sand worse than street tyres(Despite what fresh out of school 4x4ers will tell you)

I'll let you off your outdoors comments a little for being a Football fan, but only a little :)
 
+1 on that.
I reckon there is nothing better than being out bush, camping/hiking/drinking beers.....whatever.
The Aussie bush is an amazing place to be, anytime.
Sorry donske, but I reckon you're missing out big time dude !

CF
 
Haha, we'll have to agree to disagree on that, I can't stand being out bush or at the beach, it's dirty, smells bad and is full of insects, not sure the fascination.

I should point out that I have actually spent more than a little time camping, boating and at beaches, my family were nuts for all that shite growing up, never appealed to me.
