    Welcome to NZ. Our prisons are full so we have stopped sending the crims there.
    So statistically speaking, many ordinary people in NZ are technically crims.

    This was a boi racer law so it only applies to them. Don't you know anything?

    If you feel the need to accelerate from 0-50 in 2 - 3 seconds you are going to stick out like dogs balls, why because not many other vehicles on the road can do that rate of acceleration. The Rozza are only human if you paint a target on your ass they are going to stick a donut on it.

    But it never said it was a quote, only "originally posted by" giving credit to it's originator. I just sent it through editing.

    Damn, no wonder I've never had a performance cash bonus for meeting my quota.

    But then, I've only been doing it for 24 years, what do I know?

    Harumph.
    http://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicle/warr...wof/noise.html

    "By law the noise coming from your exhaust system must be similar to or less than the noise it made when your vehicle was manufactured. Two exceptions are where:

    the noise the exhaust emits is still well below legal noise limits
    An Objective Noise Test proves the noise doesn’t exceed the legal noise limits."

    If you 3T a vehicle, and in your opinion the exhaust is "too loud", you can give an infringement notice to the driver/rider and issue the vehicle with a green sticker. You are not required to have any equipment to test the exhaust noise with, so it's simply a matter of your opinion.

    What is excessively noisy to one person may be acceptable to another. If I get stopped with my aftermarket exhaust, how can I prove it's not too loud? I could get the exhaust certified, but then how could I prove that I haven't modified the exhaust to make it noisier after it has been certified? I bet that many, if not most aftermarket bike exhausts are actually over the legal limit. I once had a car tested at an exhaust shop with their noise tester in accordance with NZTA regulations, and that came out at 96dB.

    I got a mate of mine to drive past me while I was standing on the side of the road and the car was certainly a lot quieter than any Yoshimura pipe I've heard fitted to a bike. I got stopped in that car several times and only received an infringement notice for a noisy exhaust once, the rest of the time the exhaust wasn't even mentioned. I guess that in the opinion of those officers, the exhaust clearly wasn't excessively loud.

    I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, and even though I don't know you personally I'm sure that you have a good sense of judgement and aren't out there to ticket people just for the hell of it.

    Actually, I'd say you're closer to the mark with the first paragraph than the second.

    On the Hutt motorway(ish) here in Wellington there are a bunch of sets of traffic lights on a 4 lane 100km/h road. I've filtered to front of the queue next to marked and unmarked cop cars plenty of times and I never spend more than 3 seconds getting to 50.

    Theres always the cagers that take offense to your filtering and try and take off faster than you, i often take off fast to get out in front of them and would defiantly get to 50 in less than 3 secs which i think is safer than fucking around with some idiot being a dick head around you

    Again, in my experience, only if you look like a boy racer.

    I've been internalizing a really complicated situation in my head - will a cop book me for excessive acceleration if I use <50% throttle and reach 100kph before any other vehicle has even crossed the intersection leaving traffic lights on an open road. SH2 Hutt valley.
    Here for the ride.

    So "racing" - does that imply there must be another vehicle you are racing against?

    I got warned for a quick launch and decided to slow to 70kph to let the officer past. I couldn't pull over where I was (no shoulder) so mr. officer let me off and carried on.

    and for others watching,, the standard bikes top speed is 205kph... which puts into perspective the performance against other bikes on the tracks in the BRNO circuit and following the sprot bike round the french GP track.
