North Shore Biker Cops [Archive]

My friend told me that this morning that on his way over the Harbour Bridge, he saw a motorbike cop on the side of the motorway ticketing a bike not once, but three times.

He said that after the last cop, the cop had some radar gun (whatever the heck its called) and was tracking the speed of bikes that were lane splitting.

Anyone know what these motorcyclists could have done wrong? Is there a speed limit to lane splitting?

EDIT: All 3 occurred before he went over the bridge. Can hardly imagine someone being pulled over on the bridge itself ...

"Doing it wrong"

The cops might have been checking relative speed of the bike to traffic and making a judgement call on whether or not it was safe at given the conditions and traffic flow. It's rather hard to maintain any sort of beneficial speed difference over traffic without going outside of the law with regards to lane splitting - it's nigh on impossible to stay to the right of traffic while remaining in the lane.

(BTW i used to live on shore and work in a city so was subjected to this kind of police abuse quite often...)

Presumably a laser. However I have seen the bikie cops using a much smaller unit that fits into a pannier box.

Its blanket statements like this that makes you look stupid. have you dealt with all the cops? (I dont think so)
all cops are not scum
all cops are not great guys/gals
its the percentage that's arguable

that being said there does seem to be a few who deal with motorway traffic on the northshore/bridge who could do with an attitude adjustment. I have yet to be ticketed by them but have had a verbal (with my helmet on) which they got frustrated and took off without issuing a ticket

We know that everyone on here is able to ride safely at 200km everywhere as it has been said many times before and gettting a speeding ticket will not make the roads safer therefore they are a complete waste of police time as they should be catching real criminals.

The OP specifically said the bikes pulled over were lane splitting. therefore it is very improbably that they were breaking the speed limit (certainly not three of them ).

That doesn't mean the were breaking the speed limit. The speed limit on the motorway is (usually) 100kph. They were lane splitting. A small handful of riders split faster than 100kph . But they are very few. It is beyond reasonable probability that three would have been caught at once

Unless you subscribe to the common police notion that the speed limit is whatever they decide to make it.

I bow to the undoubted crowned lord of illogicality. Someone who can deduce that because a cop is using a radar gun, then anybody who is stopped must necessary have been breaking the speed limit is either (a) a cop; (b) of intellect insufficient to understand the illogic of his position , and therefore pointless to debate with.

The OP specifically says "motorway". The speed limit on the bridge is 80kph. On the Motorway (cue, motorway - get it) it is 100kph. Reference to the South side is irrelevant, the thread is entitled North Shore Biker Cops. The North Shore , surpisingly, is on the (wait for it ) North shore.

It's 80kph for a (little) bit before the bridge, Onewa Road on ramp leads straight in to the 80kph area and that isn't directly on to the bridge so to speak. So, I would say that BTB was correct in what he said about that.

MK four pictures of cars out of how many in the fleet?

I could post quadruple the number of motorbike pictures wrapped around trees, poles, through fences.

The answer is simple (removing all the Bull Shit) - If you speed, you are breaking the law and may suffer the consistences if caught.
If you speed, you increase your risk of hurting or killing yourself or someone else!!!

If you are happy with that then I would never be happy riding anywhere near you.

Additional Comment - In fact every driver in the pictures you posted was either charged criminally and presented before the Courts or faced internal disciplinary action.

He said that after the last cop, the cop had some radar gun (whatever the heck its called) and was tracking the speed of bikes that were lane splitting.

Anyone know what these motorcyclists could have done wrong? Is there a speed limit to lane splitting?

Read the thread name: NORTH SHORE BIKE COPS.

But if he was a motorway cop his district would be from the start of the Southern M/Way near the Bombays, to the northern somewhere past Albany, and also up the North Western to Hobsonville.

You are pretending to have knowledge of things you dont once again.

As my noble friend said , a North Shore cop must by definition be on the North Shore. Not the South shore This is called logic. Rather rare in the force.

The Northern motorway is on the (guess now) North shore ( I'll leave you to figure out where the Southern motorway is. Ask Sarge for help if its too hard)

The bridge and its immediate approaches are not part of the Northern motorway.in fact the 80kph limit marks the boundary of the quandam AHBA.

More pertinently, your bluster has thrown a smokescreen over the fact that you have not answered my original question.

The OP wrote that three.bikes were lanesplitting and were pulled over.

Your response was it serves them right for speeding . It is very improbable indeed that three bikes would all be breaking the speed limit when splitting (80 or 100 doesn't really matter).

I know of only one sort of person whose stock response to everything is an accusation of speeding.

Excuse me...whos the stupid one?

The original post below;
North Shore Biker Cops
My friend told me that this morning that on his way over the Harbour Bridge, he saw a motorbike cop on the side of the motorway ticketing a bike not once, but three times.

He said that after the last cop, the cop had some radar gun (whatever the heck its called) and was tracking the speed of bikes that were lane splitting.

Anyone know what these motorcyclists could have done wrong? Is there a speed limit to lane splitting?

EDIT: All 3 occurred before he went over the bridge. Can hardly imagine someone being pulled over on the bridge itself ...

Says the cop was on the Motorway somewhere near the bridge.

Now go back to wasteing BRONZ subs as you may be good at that.

As my noble friend said , a North Shore cop must by definition be on the North Shore. Not the South shore This is called logic. Rather rare in the force.

The Northern motorway is on the (guess now) North shore ( I'll leave you to figure out where the Southern motorway is. Ask Sarge for help if its too hard)

The bridge and its immediate approaches are not part of the Northern motorway.in fact the 80kph limit marks the boundary of the quandam AHBA.

More pertinently, your bluster has thrown a smokescreen over the fact that you have not answered my original question.

The OP wrote that three.bikes were lanesplitting and were pulled over.

Your response was it serves them right for speeding . It is very improbable indeed that three bikes would all be breaking the speed limit when splitting (80 or 100 doesn't really matter).

I know of only one sort of person whose stock response to everything is an accusation of speeding.

So,once again where do you get speeding from?

Again I will go slower so you can get it this time.

The speed thing was in response to a different post not the OP if you actuly read what i posted you would understand this.

as you seem so hell bent on talking about lane splitting, how do you know why were they pulled over in the first place.

Get your facts striaght before you start shooting your mouth off as i never said " it serves them right for speeding" just shows what a good little labour nazi you are to write down lies about what has been posted.

And if you want to get really into it, no where other than the title does it say what direction he, the bikes being pulled over, the cops were heading, or what side of the motorway they were on.

And this is the point not speed.

I was pull over a couple of weeks ago and the cop pulled me over as I was on dealer plates as I was on a loan bike.
He let me off the ticket for riding an unregistered bike as I guess he just wanted to look at the New Busa I was riding.
Any who.... I asked him the law on lane splitting.

He stated that you are only legally allowed to do so if the traffic in the said lane was stationary.
Therefore if the cars in the lane you are splitting are moving you are braking the law.

He did also say that they do also understand bikers do lane split and as long as the traffic is slow and you are not going a lot faster then them they turn a blind eye. But just remember the law states the cars have to be stationary.

When I travel between cars, The best way to keep in the law is to have your indicator on and keep swapping lanes between cars therefore you are just overtaking.

29th May 2010, 21:43

Not sure whether its lane splitting, but a bike coparoo gave me a ticket once for riding up the middle of the cars.... I proceeded to inform him that technically I wasn't because I was on the outside lane and I wasn't passing on an inside lane..... arguing with a cop not smart I know, especially with arrogant nob tokers who can't even speak civil with manners.
To the cop defenders above, slamming the aggression of the cop slagger, In my experience, I haven't met a nice, well mannered traffic cop since the disbanding of the MOT. Yes there must be nice cops out there, I just haven't met or seen any. None of them wave????
Anyway, a bored cop will always choose an easy target, it's a bit like a limp animal, wolves take advantage of any opportunity...... Too all the well serving, polite and good mannered police officers out there, I look forward to meeting you in the future..... or is it like the TUI bill boards... YEAH RIGHT

The addition to this is if you stay (including your mirror) to the left side of the centre line. I.e technically not splitting but passing in very tight conditions.

Here in Wellington I have found recently most if not all drivers actually move left and let you past. I split five days a week morning and night and have only had one or two issues with muppets not letting you past, or idiots who try and close the gap between the two cars as you pass.. on one such occasion I went to his work and had a friendly chat with him. He waves to me every morning now and gives me a whole lot of room ;)

Correct... stationary or "stalled". It is a common sense thing. If you ride carefully and slowly during the lane split as you pass the basically stalled traffic you will generally be fine, not fined.

until the passing movement is completed, the driver has a clear view of the road and any traffic on the road for at least 100 m in the direction in which the driver is travelling.

I live on the shore and lane split all the time when going to the city. I am not slow and spend as much time on the right of the line as the left. I have split past cop cars (both sides of the line on several occasions and cop bikes at least three times (usually watch my speed more when passing them though). Always on both sides of the line doing a good 20kph more than the adjacent cars but never been bothered by them.:blink:

Given that when splitting I pass every other bike I can see ahead of me (just switch across to the other side of middle lane if they aren't awake or polite enough to pull over), have never been passed by another splitter and have what would generally be termed as a shit attitude to caution and common sense.(see license speeding history:shutup:) I can only conclude that the guys getting ticketed (as seen on the side of the motorway) must be doing something reeeeeally wrong or are giving a bad impression by looking like they are a danger cause they are nervous and twitchy (seen that a lot) :yes:

Well if we are going to get it right it is important that we ignore the "But just remember the law states the cars have to be stationary" bit as that is simply wrong.

If you are passing on the right (staying on the left side of the line) then it doesn't matter if the cars are moving. It is only when passing on the left (riding on the right side of the center line when lane splitting) that the cars in the right lane are supposed to be stopped (or turning right).

IMO a valid excuse for being on the right side of the line is that a car on the left swung across, forcing me to move to the right to maintain safe separation. (might work if you have mostly been in the left lane).

Anyway, why aren't cops enforcing the keep left rule so us lane splitters are provided our rightful and safe path?

Incorrect. Epic FAIL. Keep left is the law. I've lost count of how many times I've posted this. Road User Rule 2004

Keeping left
(1) A driver, when driving, must at all times drive as near as practicable to the left side of the roadway unless this rule otherwise provides.
(2) If a driver's speed, when driving, is such as to impede the normal and reasonable flow of traffic, that driver must, as soon as is reasonably practicable, move the vehicle as far as practicable to the left side of the roadway when this is necessary to allow following traffic to pass
. (3) A driver may drive in the right lane in the direction of travel when driving on a multi-lane road if—
(a) the driver is turning right, or making a U-turn from the centre of the road, and is giving the prescribed signal of that driver's intention to turn right; or
(b) the driver is passing; or
(c) the left lane is unavailable to the driver; or
(d) the driver is required by any provision of this rule to drive in the right lane; or
(e) a variable lane control downward-facing arrow sign indicates that the driver must drive in the right lane; or
(f) the driver is avoiding an obstruction; or
(g) the traffic in all other lanes is congested; or
(h) the traffic in every lane is congested.

And this is the point not speed.

I was pull over a couple of weeks ago and the cop pulled me over as I was on dealer plates as I was on a loan bike.
He let me off the ticket for riding an unregistered bike as I guess he just wanted to look at the New Busa I was riding.
Any who.... I asked him the law on lane splitting.

He stated that you are only legally allowed to do so if the traffic in the said lane was stationary.
Therefore if the cars in the lane you are splitting are moving you are braking the law.

He did also say that they do also understand bikers do lane split and as long as the traffic is slow and you are not going a lot faster then them they turn a blind eye. But just remember the law states the cars have to be stationary.

When I travel between cars, The best way to keep in the law is to have your indicator on and keep swapping lanes between cars therefore you are just overtaking.

Lets be safe out there......
Got a badge number and the officers name?
No? Then I wouldn't bank on that piece of advice.
Unless there is a lane splitting law specifically - I can see nice legal fees trying to defend it in court.
I imagine it will be case of winning the battle but losing the war

Not at all, but iam only pointing out the fact that "law" is created by people so some of it could quite likely be wrong ....as humans do make mistakes all the time!

Like the ones that think the law is stupid because THEY think it is???

Hi guys, I havent read the whole thread, pretty much just the first page, As some of you may or may not know, It is more than likely I have had more tickets than you, a youngn hooning around on a 2 stroke on the north shore tends to get them, anyway.. Currently I commute from Mission Bay to Greenhithe daily, I have now pretty much learnt the self control thing and following the speed limit... for the most part.

Anyway, to be honest, I have a pretty piss poor attitude towards cops, not a big fan regardless of the fact my dad was one (way back when cops were cops and hasnt been one for 20 years.) and I have the odd uncle etc that is one.
Today I got some faith back, there is the odd good one.
Today I hadnt ridden my bike for a whole week because of the rain... so I was a bit excited and giving it some I guess,
Without knowing I passed an unmarked car on the motorway at more than twice the speed limit shortly before getting to work, he pulled me over after I had left the motorway and I thought I was done for, we had a chat for about 15 minutes as my workmates came off the motorway as well as my boss to see me pulled over.
To cut a long story short, He cut me a very big break, he gave me a warning even though he knew where my speed was, and that he could take my licence there and then, send me to court.. 6 months loss of licence and big fines etc..
I was very lucky today, and because Ive been given a second chance, Im not going to mess it up...
The moral of the story is that not all cops are bad, just most of them, I actually want to track down this cop now and shake his hand, end of story
