Jean
aka ChiliDog and
Jane aka NeoLuddite
started at Nth Turra' with
BankTeller, but Jean had a 'serious attitude disorder', a
crestfallen shadow of his former tenacity and brilliance. At Jean's behest, we agreed to
re-group at
PitS.
Alas, when we assembled outside
PitS
there were a lot of Mungo Wackos on motor bikes making lots of noise, and
driving way too fast, so much so that
BankTeller phoned
Hornsby Police station at 9:43am. He told the Constable that there was
some Wacko dangerous motor bike driving around
PitS.
And asked was Hornsby Police aware of that. He told the constable that he
had twice written to the NSW Police Minister and the NSW Police Commissioner
about two death within three months, both on weekends, of motor bike riders over
the 3.85km road section between Brooklyn Rd and
PitS.
The Constable politely retorted that the Police have been conducting police
patrols. BankTeller
said that police patrols were ineffective and 'labour-intense-costly'.
BankTeller asked
the Constable why the Police do not employ
cost-effective technology and install discrete mobile radar cameras in the bush
and post out the fines in the same manner that other States in Oz and
offshore do, in order to discourage speeding in a cost-effective 'technology-manner' and save
lives. He iterated that there had been two motor bike fatalities over the 3.85km windy
stretch between Brooklyn Rd and
PitS
in the last 12 months. There will be more fatalities because of the hubris
evident in mass hysteria of motor bikers with metal caps making sparks fly on
the bends and their Compadres filming at those corners to post on
YouTube.
Hopefully a road cyclist wont be amongst further fatalities on this Mad Cap
3.85km of madness.
Jean and Jane opted not to 'run the gauntlet'. I suggested to Jean
that he ought to book an appointment with his analyst. Jane retorted,,
"Wouldn't it be better if Jean saw your analyst". I told Jane that my
analyst won't take on a 'hopeless case'.
