Idiots not wearing helmets

With our hospitals already overcrowded, it really annoys me to see so many
Bicycle riders not wearing helmets.
Why should we have to pay for these idiots if they come off with head
injuries, and more important take up beds for really sick people.
I live in Brisbane, and I see so many of these idiots, and the Police don't
seem to give a toss about it.
When will the Police get serious and slap on the spot fines to these idiots,
and surly the news will spread, and maybe these idiots will start to obey
the law, and free up hospital beds.

Cops are realists. Its built into the job. Regardless of what you in
your opinion (doubless very informed and vastly experienced) the cops
will do whats easy and pays off.

Nicking motorists for well anything will stop more head injuries than
every cyclist in the world wearing a helmet everywhere they go,
including bed and shower. As Tim proved banning 4wds from Hawthorn
would also inpact significantly on head injuries. (Hitting them for
parking in bike lanes, failing to indicate, failing to show due care and
attention, using the mobile while turning right with one hand on the
wheel lighting a cigarette while turning left with one hand on the wheel
just to describe what I saw on the commute home, would also impact far more)

You remind me of the guy on the bike path yesterday who yelled out..
bloody pushbikes... get on the road where you belong. I thought about
asking if he actually knew he was on a bike path but decided my grasp on
reality and his were so different communication was impossible. Its
like talking to an alien species

One that lives under bridges methinks.

When will the Police get serious and

start shooting unlicened motorist.
These people are serial offenders and will not follow court orders
So they should be shot on the spot. this will make our roads safer for
everyone and save expensive hospital beds.

Before that. start with using mobiles while turning. An instant death
penalty offence.

Sadly often not for the driver.

To the woman in the gold 350 SLC mercedes who turned across a roady..
forced him to break and swerve.. finally stopped across his path. with
one hand on the wheel and still talking into your phone. God will get
you.. TO the roady damm fine bit of riding mate

Somebody please send for a goat. We need something to get rid of all
these trolls, and I'm pretty sure goats have the best track record on
this particular need of ours.

Yep, legend has it that goats are very good but I can never remember
which way to face while sacrificing the thing. I'm also a bit hazy on a
few other points, the preferred sex of the thing for a start - is a
female goat preferable to a male goat or is it the other way around ?

Surely it depends on whether you are having trouble with a female or
male SCSI[1] connector, isn't it?

nah, thats chickens ... cane knife, plastic drop sheet, etc...
