Cheesecutters

Transit NZ likes to install cheap wire barriers on State Highways. Unfortunately, these wire barriers tend to dismember motorcyclists who happen to fall off and land of slide into the things.

A young guy was recently cut in half by one of these things.

Now, people can argue that motorcycles are dangerous in themselves, and these people would have a point. However, given that motorcyclists are not at fault for the majority of their accidents involving injuries, it's an issue that should concern everybody.

Anyway, there is a petition set up at www.cheesecutter.co.nz, so if you are keen on maybe making a difference, please sign the in-line petition.
