taken off them and then e bikes EA scooters.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
It wouldn't have been taken off them if they weren't behaving.
There's not many that are not behaving on them. You
see so many that are just riding them perilously.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
There are, but there are still ones that are doing
like I've.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Got a little friend of my daughters who's riding her
bike to work every day her Are you bike to work?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
How old is she? Yeah? She's fourteen, okay, and she's
riding it to work. It's a great ease on her
family and her family.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Make sure she's got the helmets and all that kind
of stuff and doing the speed limit.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, she's going to go for another two Yeah, no
more than ten k's on footpaths, beaches and shared pathways,
so you're able to go on that right on roads
with signed speed limits of sixty So on sixty k
zones you're allowed on the roads, but you can only
do twenty five k. And when you say on the road,
you obviously like a bike. You're on the side of
(01:59):
the road in the middle, on one wheel, hanging a
mono down the street. Helmets normally apply same rules. No
drugs and alcohol, no phones, and no extra passengers, so
no double dinking.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I agree with all.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Of them, except for the under sixteen. I think that
with those rules, the under sixteens would be safer.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Those are the rules though, for like agriculturally, for motorbikes,
quad bikes and stuff. Unless you've got a pee wee
little bike, they're the rules anyway for motorbikes and that really, Yeah,
it's sixteen most of the time you get.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
On And when did you adhere to that?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
When he was twenty one?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I'm just saying I never knew that was a rule,
and neither did any of the farms I ever grew
up on.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, they're the stickers that come standard on motorbikes, really, so.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
What may I might have been peeled off in my youth?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Maybe for under sixteen. It's what they could do here
if we want to change that up, maybe if you're
under sixteen, you could actually do the footpath rule. Do
you think it be the ten k on the foot path?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Do you think the rules is?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
They're saying that you can't do it under sixteen because
you can't find an under sixteen year old for doing
those things.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Just because they don't have licenses or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Is this saying that you know you practically have to
be old enough for yeur l plates.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I think they're setting it up perfectly to be able
to find everyone.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well, but they're finding the parents punishing the parents. I'm
okay with all of it, except for the under sixteen.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, what's the age you've got to be an age?
What age?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Would you maybe? Twelve? Thirteen?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Okay, twelve or thirteen?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Let's say thirteen because kids can start working around thirteen
with parents permission and they're quite mature.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes, there is absolutely the idiots.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
That we see that are honing. But you put those
laws in and you can catch them. You haven't been
able to catch them before because there was no laws.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So that was the whole point of that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So I feel like all the rest is good.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
No, open up the phones, and let's discuss exactly that
is sixteen not fair on.
