Jesus, instant hearing damage is supposed to be 120dB and that horn is supposedly twice as loud as that!
It isn't twice as loud... It's lots worse than that.Jesus, instant hearing damage is supposed to be 120dB and that horn is supposedly twice as loud as that!

that is atrocious...and really indicative of the approach of a lot of coppers these days. at some point we seem to have become an overly policed population ....just normal people going about their business not harming anyone, are suddenly engaging with the criminal justice system with alarming frequency....all in the name of fines fines and more fines ....all for our safetyI was seriously not really giving a fuck about these new laws, I usually carry ID anyway and am unlikely to have encounters with pigs in areas where they would be booking riders...but...
Yesterday in the heat a friend suffered from heat stroke so moved off the road to a path. She saw some coppers ahead and went in to ask for help, in so doing she didn't notice the shared path had ended and didn't walk her bike across a light. Ended up with $200 fines for those two offences plus not having a bell fitted. All while trying to ask for help from public fucking servants. She ended up in the hospital all day after these two fuccbois fined instead of helped.

I think my new "bell" is going to be this: NSFW and not all together a good song, but it gets the point across at 10sec.

Don't the coppers have a responsibility to look after the publics welfare first, fine people second. If she ended up in hospital after this I'd say the cops weren't doing their job properly. She should follow this up. What they've done is the equivalent of fining you for loitering just after you've had the shit kicked out of you. That shit wouldn't hold up if a court was presented with the full facts.I was seriously not really giving a fuck about these new laws, I usually carry ID anyway and am unlikely to have encounters with pigs in areas where they would be booking riders...but...

fuck man ....dont bring logic into the equation!? the law dont work like that...!What's the point of a fucking bell, when 3/4 of pedestrians have earphones in and can't hear it anyway??
Don't under estimate their level of stupid. I feel your pain.Yeah, she's going to contest the fines. Apparently they said sorry we're just doing our job. Couldn't even use a modicum of sense to see the situation for what it was. I'd go full out and want money for then having ambulance fees (cuz oh yeah, by the time she got to work it was so bad they had to call for an ambulance). I had incorrectly assumed the cops here wouldn't go full retard. I was wrong, don't be like me. :tsk:
Righto poodle, you re the man to ask. How much effort will these fucktards go to catch you on a bike if you bolt?Don't under estimate their level of stupid. I feel your pain.
Well is just spent $3 on a bell for when I ride with the baby on the family bike.Riding through a red light will attract a penalty of $425, as will not stopping at a children/pedestrian crossings and riding dangerously.
Riding without a helmet or holding onto a moving vehicle will carry a $319 fine.
The fine for all other cycling offences - such as not having a bell or similar warning device - will rise to $106.

Seriously, if I'm going to be fined for not having a bell, I am not stopping for nobody till they have run me down.
And what is the fine for not having a bell, anyone know for nsw?
I look forward to the first reports of MTB riders being done for no lights or bell on fire trails in the bush. They're public roads after all.. I much prefer dealing with the snakes on the local trails as they at least are predictable and logical in their actions.
Let them chase you back to the border. Flip the bird once you have crossed for me.I look forward to the first reports of MTB riders being done for no lights or bell on fire trails in the bush. They're public roads after all.
What a mess. I ride out into NSW on the roadie quite often... No bloody bell on the roadie!!
