1156985	2010-11-27 19:22:00	After being passed by a couple of motorcycle groups with around 100 bikers in each pack yesterday heading between Taumaraunui to a "meet" in National Park. I can now see why they are getting stung by ACC levies proclaiming them as being unsafe! Overtaking on Double Yellow lines into blind corners not just one or two but dozens of them. Yet for those few idiots evryone of us suffers that hypocracy of them complaining how unfair the ACC levey is and no doubt saying that it was safe overtaking.....each one that passed me I cringed that nothing would be coming the other way. Visions of that motorcycle carnage in the south island last year spring to mind. Its bad enough idiots in cars but Motorcyclists who are the biggest complainers of ACC levels not excatly done their case good.	coldfront (15814)

Will agree with you on that, problem was from the perspective of the general public who were passed by this group seeing so many motorcyclists and not just one or two so blatently ignore the risks involved . I found it annoying that because of this mindless minority the sensible motorcyclist of which are many more than in that group have to pay for such stupidity . Kind of the pack mentality that no one will F#@% with us! Only they forgot about the what IF implication of hitting another innocent road user . Few weeks ago was a pack of cyclists hit by a car on the wrong side of the road this weekend could/may still see a group of motorcyclists splattered over some highway in the central North Island . Shame I did not have the dash cam on at the time, that would have been some damning footage . This week I have seen a few cars doing it but in just a 5 minute interval lost count of the number of bikes who yes more manuverable but even more vulnerable . How much intelligence is there to obey a simple road rule like not crossing a Double Yellow line?	coldfront (15814)
