Old Road - This Sunday - PLEASE READ.!
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2008 1:28 pm
From MCCoNSW
On Sunday, Channel 7 will be filming up the Old Road
The purpose is to record problems with road surface, such as the
irresponsible tar jointing compound.
RTA have failed to respond to complaints by administrative channels.
Be aware that any images of riders doing stupid stuff may go to air and
damage our case.
Be aware that from a little after 10 am to midday, the camera crew will be
out on the road.
Primarily between Berowra and the river.
I am meeting the camera crew at 10 am at Berowra.
We will need a few bikes to ride down at around 10:30 for "colour and
movement" and give them some good TV images of responsible riders on the
road, who are having to ride around the tar snakes. It would be good to have
a group ride up the hill from the Brooklyn intersection as well. Meet me at
10 at the Mobil at Berowra and one person can co-ordinate with mobile phone.
Any riders who have fallen as a direct result of tar jointing compound or
other road surface issues, I'd like to talk to you before 10 am on Sunday.
I will be accompanied by a lawyer specialised in this area. Bring photos of
the incident if you have them.
Be at the Berowra MOBIL at 9:30 on Sunday, or ring me, 0417 661 827, but not
while I'm riding there.......
Hopefully, you have photos.
Of course these falls are not reported to the Police, as it simply results
in a Neg Driving charge.
This is one part of what we are addressing.
