Speed limit sign perception poll

[J.A.W.]

Def' a +ve ride-safe policy to try & always be moving faster than the cages.. IMO..

My ancient/longstanding corner advisory speed was..
A, for touring ease, mentally convert from Km/h to mph..

&,

B, for "getting along little doggy" ( a bit, but not getting stupid or causing compulsory cell phone calls to the cops) double it..

& , if you are low on demerits, do the maths per likelihood of a successful evasion of an unpleasant interview with the pigglies..
- with a decent bike, that's always an option, as y'know..

This might classify as "flying under the radar" whilst in plain sight.
As for doing a runner, that might require the added discipline of never running the tank down to the low fuel light huh?

Naturally.. that must be taken as read - as one of the needful prerequisites, calculation-wise..

A bit like the blu-tac/white-board rego plate ah, misrepresentation, knowing bike-only off-track routes,
& if going for a fang, not being alone, if possible - so as to increase avoidance of unscheduled stops..

Most Highway patrol in NZ (or anywhere) like to see traffic flowing smoothly. Even if the traffic is flowing faster than the speed limit requires.


Going faster than the flow of traffic WILL attract the attention of plod ... faster than anything else. It will easily be noticed ... even with the Hawk turned off ...

Sure, that's why I reckoned a subtle, if meaningfully forceful-intent approach, was probably best..

Types of bike riders less likely to be victims are those whom cagers notice, & fear, a bit.. IMO..

Those cagers also notice your rego and with their (always handy) cell phone ... alert plod to your "activities" .. (if plod was not the one you passed)

Yeah, are you one of those 20-20 vision dobbers/plods, or just a wannabe?

(& that's why I included the bogus rego plate routine..)

Addit: & we do know how to spot the plainclothed hi-way patrol bastards, right?

I prefer to ride at higher speeds where the traffic isn't ... safer all round really ... but aussies are probably too thick to realise that ..

Buzzkill sez what? L.O.L...
