The police do make a good point. It is a very busy road with people going 100km/h up the hill. If they slid out and went onto the other side of the road they would be scrapping them off the road with shovels. They managed to get one good run in and it looked like they were going to send them off with a warning. At the end of the day the police officer has probably had to go to many parents and has had to tell them there child had died in a road accident and if he had not have told them to stop then the media would have said why did they let them continue. His hands were tied. Many people have had accidents on this hill, its not the safest and it looked like it was a busy time of day.

Matt D that is open to interpretation, the document you refer to is here: www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/rules/docs/road-user-consolidation.pdf and it simply states they must stay left on a roadway. The police were stating they were not allowed on the road at all, which is simply a lie.

@mattd6931

Richard Vowles There's no interpretation to it. The law states states "A pedestrian or driver of a mobility device or a wheeled recreational device using the roadway must remain as near as practicable to the edge of the roadway." At times in this video they are almost crossing the double yellow lines in the middle of the road (and riding two abreast). At others, they are riding down the middle of the lane. That is not keeping as near as practicable to the edge. Also, if that road is classified as a motorway or expressway, then what the officer said was correct, as all pedestrian, animal and cycle traffic is prohibited on them anyway.

The cops can't stop you riding on the road because under the NZ transportation act skateboards and that includes longboards are classed as wheeled recreational vehicles which means they can be used on the roads just like a bicycle which is also classed as a wheeled recreational vehicle

Longboarders can slow down really fast. It's called Sliding.

Motor vehicles and bicycles have braking systems, actual braking systems as required by law for all road vehicles. I don't believe 'sliding' qualifies as a braking system, which means skateboarding and longboarding on the road are probably illegal on that point alone no matter how fast they can stop, nor how the boarder argues.

@bocskaicsaba4925

10 жыл бұрын

cswvna This is an interesting approach. I mean if you can stop faster than a car you should be legal. Problem is that it's not the board that mainly defines braking distance but the owner... Maybe a sort of certification could solve the legal part: you can stop fast and safe = you have a permit to use the road. You can't? Stay on the sidewalk. But this leads to another problem: sidewalk size and quality.

@cswvna

***** I think you miss the point of a fully controllable braking system. Motor vehicles and bicycles can apply, release, and feather their brakes to control their speed, and unless the driver or rider messes up they do not compromise their line to do it. When a longboarder goes into a braking slide they must first swing to one side or the other, commit themselves to the slide, and once they do they have NO CHOICE but to ride it to a standstill. They have no control over the rate of braking, and little control over their line while doing so. And every time they do they need to keep their bodies low to the ground which compromises their visual presence, making it much harder for motorists to see and avoid them. Also, in the moments after a longboarder stops they are a sitting duck for the traffic around them, forcing others to evade, which invalidates the 'safe' part of your 'stop fast and safe' argument. These reasons are why no-one in charge of making or enforcing the road laws will ever make longboarding legal on the roads, no matter what arguments and self-justification longboarders give.

In the U.S a police officer has to by law state their name and badge number if someone asks. I didn't think that'd be different anywhere else.

" Bad boys watcha want, watcha want, watcha gonna do? When sheriff John Brown come for you? "

I feel like the cop was just being a jerk from the start, he walks up and calls them idiots.

Legally the Police officer is incorrect. The NZTA website says "Skateboards and scooters are legally defined as wheeled recreational devices. Bicycles with wheels less than 355mm are also included. While usually powered by foot or gravity they can be fitted with motors up to 300 watts. If you do fit a motor, your 'device' then becomes a motor vehicle, which means you must register and license it. It also means that you'll need a driver licence to use it. Using your wheeled recreational device While you may need a driver licence to operate a motorised wheeled recreational device, they are not required to have a warrant of fitness or registration. But there are requirements for where and how you can use them: On the road, you must keep as close as possible to the edge of the roadway. On the footpath: you must ride carefully and be considerate of others on the footpath you must not ride at speeds that put other footpath users at risk you must give way to pedestrians and drivers of mobility vehicles."

Legally you are allowed to record police when they confront you, so I love it when he tried to grab your camera and I also liked how he didn't provide his name which he is required to do by law if you were to ask which you did.

This gets better and better every time i watch it

I hate this type of thing soo much. I live in a town that is filled with drugs, vandalism, peoples houses occasionally getting burnt down, brake in's, and yet i get yelled at for holding a longboard. And yes i have been yelled at for literally only holding a longboard. And for sliding my fingers across a fence at the baseball field in the park near my house. Police could be putting their efforts towards much more serious causes yet still waste time to yell at innocent people...

I was once stopped by a cop that had received a complaint about me skating. He apologized and asked politely to move somewhere else to keep the resident happy. So I did, if only all cops were this nice then we wouldn't have so much hate for them. Since it's New Zealand law that skateboards are legal on the road then they had no right to threaten arrest but they have the right to ask you to move and similarly you have the right to stay but it's always better to move if asked imo.

we have follow cars to stop that from happening, also the double yellow lines stop cars from overtaking , so that will not happen. We also tend to go the speed limit which will reduce the chances of this happening. Also we as safety conscious riders will not use an ipod on an open road or when skating with others because we know we need to be aware of our surroundings and others on the road. I personally respect cops and so do my peers as we understand they are only doing their job.

Some cops are understanding, some aren't. You just have to hope the bad ones don't catch you.

Skateboarding Laws In General Skateboarding laws are regulated by state and local ordinances, typically within a jurisdictions health & safety code or state traffic laws.They vary from state to state and town to town.Moreover, the laws affecting skateboarders are often grouped together with laws affecting bicyclist, roller bladders, and other pedestrians, although some laws may target skateboarders specifically, such as local ordinances that prohibit skateboarding in bike lanes or on sidewalks. Skateboarding laws generally restrict or prohibit skateboarding as a recreational activity -- specifically the time, manner, age of person skateboarding, and location in which skateboarding may take place.One town may allow skateboarding during certain times of day (for example "from a half-hour after dawn to a half-hour before dusk"), while another town may limit skateboarding to certain areas (for example "on sidewalks in residential areas only"). In addition, some towns may only allow persons of a certain age (for example "over 12 years of age") to skateboard in public, while other towns may ban skateboarding altogether (for example, making it "off-limits on commercial property"). Finally, most states and jurisdictions require helmets and other safety gear to be worn at all times, in addition to a posted notice of such requirements in certain areas, such as in "skate parks" and other public places. - See more at: traffic.findlaw.com/traffic-tickets/skateboarding-laws.html#sthash.LpSZVRMz.dpuf
