| 887236 | 2010-05-23 00:20:00 | Wish they would come and sit down the bottom of our hill on market rd behind the caltex, they would catch 90% of the cars that come around that corner. Most are so far over the line that both sets of wheels are over. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 887237 | 2010-05-23 05:19:00 | Wonder if the tree climbing is OSH and ACC sanctioned. How will they write up the accident report when they fall out of the tree?? You sound like an old woman government bureaucrat because any real man knows how to climb a tree and stay in it. They've had all the tree climbing experience since they were kids. Only a drunk or retard could fall out of a tree. :sleep |

We were more worried about getting a blast of saltpetre from a shotgun as I remember it. :xmouth: |

This sounds more like Keystone Cops rather than NZ Police but I guess they are desperate for revenue.. This will be like the old MOT and their anti speed campaign using spotter planes measuring the time between two marks on the road. The shear cost of running these aircraft killed it.. you sure spotter planes were used for that? the 2 second rule is not the law is it? |

| 887240 | 2010-05-23 09:44:00 | I assure you they were used for that ( aircraft ) lance4k at one time. The 2 second rule has more to do with following distance rather than speed and is not law. Very much like advisory speeds on signs that advise go around this corner at 25 Kph rather than the the speed limit of 100 Kph which may be on the same stretch of road. But you knew this anyway didn't you. The Road code is not the law but is an attempt to educate. |

| 887241 | 2010-05-23 09:55:00 | 2 second rule is not law but there is a minimum required distance which is a fraction under 2 seconds. most tailgater's are around 1/10th to 2/10th's of a second. if i remember rightly reaction time for a race driver was 6/10th's of a second. normal driver is up to 1 second. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 887242 | 2010-05-23 10:10:00 | I educate tailgaters in my service truck by just slamming on the brakes and letting them run into the crane frame. The best bit is when they ring up to complain to my boss and I am the boss. |

| 887243 | 2010-05-23 10:22:00 | Ahhh, that takes me back. I took a similar approach with letterboxes and bull bars once. |

| 887244 | 2010-05-23 11:08:00 | Usual reaction time for most I was told is .75 seconds. Get a ruler and test it for yourself. You do this by holding you hand ready then get another person to drop same. Or try an online test. This among others. getyourwebsitehere.com |
