BMWOR Insomnia cure perhaps, Gremlin? We should market the sucker and makes us lots and loss of monies. Our Precious….And re those barriers (he typed tentatively knowing this'll probably reignite a debate), give me a Jersey Barrier any time (the concrete inverted Y shaped ones). But, if no Jersey barrier, I'd far rather slide into a rope barrier than a fixed one. With my job of watching traffic, I've watched a motorcyclist die on impact with a Z-barrier support post; he may've fared better with a flexible barrier with frangible plastic posts. Of course, the rider not having a couple of after-work drinks then riding home would've prevented this happening at all. Interestingly, a lot of Aussie barriers are being modified to be more motorcycle friendly by filling in any void below the barrier so someone sliding into them is presented with a solid surface to slide along, and not something with lots of arm/head/leg-grabbing posts. And, better a barrier than none at all - the Coast Road between Paekakariki and Pukerua Bay bears new scars almost nightly where it stopped a potential head-on. At least there aren't piles of elephant poo to avoid or monkeys dashing across the road here! THAT certainly gets your attention pretty damn quickly.
