Bureaucratic Idiocy further exposed!

Kia Ora,

Another Saturday night, but a warm one for this time of year & so with the change in weather came the idiots. But it also exposed further where Bureastucrats fail in their thinking.

But it was the idiots that took my attention first.

For the last two warm nights there has been the noise of a grossly underpowered scooter(or so I thought) giving its all up what appeared to be the railway tracks from the sound.

On hearing yet another boy racer in the area(a lot of police as well for once but they never seemed to be there at the same time) I walked out to see someone on a motorbike sounding not unlike the wound up sewing machine model you could keep hearing coming around the corner like they were doing 200kmh(but only doing 50Kmh). It reminded me of what a mate once said about riding a bike spaced out on magic mushrooms & another on marijuana about how they thought they were going real fast, but in fact going very slow.

In fact the person on marijuana infamously came off his bike at 1km an hour thinking he was taking it at a 100kmh, so lent it over as if taking the corner at that speed.

I just hope he was not the bike later reported to police riding erratically in some suburbs towards the centre of Christchurch, to be found dead after a crash into traffic lights in another area.

It might seem to be stretching it to connect the two but more often than not they are.

What I forgot to mention in the previous blog was the most obvious issue that the bureaucratic plans for gritting the roads missed.

They only had the grit put on the corners. Yes that is where the accidents more often than not will happen but not where they start.

Leading into the corners is a couple of nice straights & not just the boyracers use it as a drag strip before having to break heavily as they approach the corners. Most of these drivers can not actually handle ice on the straight in the first place.

So not only did the bureaucrats waste money having grit put down 'after' a week of frosts the day before a forecast overcast day, they missed out half the places that it was really needed. They also promoted crime as vehicles tried to complete doughnuts/burnouts shortly after grit was laid, not to mention poor driving.
