Bugger - nabbed doin' 91 in an 80 zone...

[Rogue Rider]

Well, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, and inevitably it happened today on my way home from work.:blink:

I refuse to use the Toll Tunnel so I took the usual route via Orewa and Wendaholm. I passed a few cages on the passing lane up the hill going slowish, rounded the bend and up over the brow of the Johnston Hill.:scooter::scooter::scooter:

Just as I came over the Hill :wari::wari::wari:, yep, there he was, in all his glory, Mr Popo :sick: pointing towards me in Fowler Access Road.

I was allegedly doing 91 km per hour in the 80 km per hour section of road. 20 demerits and $80 thank you very much......
I now have 20 demerits lol.:shutup::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::by e:

I was a bit disappointed in myself, one should never speed, as ultimately the law always catches up sooner or later.:shifty::shifty:

Do you have any idea how dangerous speeding is? People (babies mainly) could have been killed.

I know, how horrible of me, I should have been lynched, racked and raped as well......

Dude, your a legend, that's the slowest speeding I've heard of, now go sit on the naughty step...

[bluebird]

damn! mind you saw the uber-speed trap on the Puhoi side of the tunnel last weekend, two cars, four plods.

[Rogue Rider]

I know, I know, lame as, with no escape...... Crap weather too, it was pouring down. I made the plod follow me for a while until I could find some semi shelter too.......

Slow down Rossi.

(Coulda paid the Toll for 40 days for that)

Yes indeed, that would be 20 trips to work and back, that would be 20 days worth, which would be 4 weeks worth. Food for thought, though even adding it up that way, paying $20 a week to use that tiny piece of road, it's all a bit absurd really isn't it.


What a rip off............. :Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk:

91's a bit harsh to get pulled up for :no:

There's no number plate on the front of your bike. Couldn't another similar looking bike have overtaken you at such a speed and dissapearedd into the sunset whilst you were still only doing 79kph ?

If the weather wasn't as bad as it was, I most likely would have been going a bit quicker....... I didn't feel to high tail it, thought best to take it on the chin....... The officer had no hesitation in issuing the ticket. I did offer that he could let me off, he didn't seem amused, but had a wee smile on his dial........ As he would, they take great joy in their jobs lol....

Buy a radar detector!

[Rogue Rider]

Buy a radar detector!

True that, had one, Beltronics lazer jammer and radar on my last bike... 3k worth. Whats the recommendation these days, something a bit cheaper?

[Taz]

Don't speed.

[SMOKEU]

Don't speed.

What a buzz kill!

[javawocky]

Was pretty disappointed in my 100 in a 80 zone just north of Walsford.

Yeah, speeding is wrong and all but being done in an area which could easily handle a 104.9K zone is just silly - specially when no one else was about on a brisk Sunday morning.

But 91 in a 80 zone is just SAD. Cop should get a letter of warning for being so pathetic.

and they wonder why we call them revenue collectors, by the way they are not supposed to be situated within 300 metres of a brow of ahill

[mashman]

125 (we agreed on) in a 100, points, fine, fair cop... they have jobs too (yes some could do the job better, and you didn't have to be speeding)... aye, take it on the chin I reckon, even if it is just part of a stupid quota.
