*555

A thread to post your virtual *555 calls

To the noob in the rental car that past me in the opposite direction on the roadworks at about 100k, :angry2:
I hope you enjoyed the wee present I left under your door handle while you we having your latte...you have no idea the trouble I had to go to to find a dog turd of just the right consistency, but I hope you agree it was with the trouble.

Haha, off to a good start. Serves the fucker well. Maybe he will even mistake it for a Moro bar.....:sick:

[G4L4XY]

Did you get showered in stones?

I once followed a truck too close over roadworks and I got ownedby the stones that flicked up behind him, that shit hurts, got me right on the knuckle! :(

[Maha]

So....you had time to turn around, hunt for a piece of dog shit, while keeping a firm eye on the car that past you, travelling at an estimated 100 kph in the other direction, so you know where it went?...:facepalm:

Want a hug sweetheart?

Want a hug sweetheart?

Sure, as long as it doesn't involve me dropping my trousers...;)

[jafar]

I :love: *555, straight through to the police comms centre, no pissing around with the 111 operator. Probably the best thing they have come up with since the invention of the traffic ticket;)

Idiot drivers can be potted on the spot, bloody magic . All you need is the idiots rego & a brief description of the car & what they have done to piss you off & they are on it. :innocent:

Nothing makes you laugh as much as seeing the idiot 10k up the road talking to the disco light brigade:woohoo:

[scumdog]

*555 got us a pissed driver on SH1 today.

At 8:10am.

Because they always make a random thread to test the waters, to try and fit in/get started with the community without knowing its a really tough crowd. Poor guys.

Hang in there Skiwi, there are some real brave key boardists out there lol

They are not piles, they are judda bars for Honda riders.

Nice to see that while on my way home for lunch there were already 4 drivers practising the new give way laws..... and forcing their way in front of me while they should have still given way. WAIT TILL FUCKING SUNDAY YER DAMN ARSED MORONS!!!!!!!!! :angry2:

The advantage we have in central ... there are plenty of dogs, few coffee shops ... and not many towns/roads. And a trail bike should easily catch a car in road works.

Nothing makes you laugh as much as seeing the idiot 10k up the road talking to the disco light brigade:woohoo:If they don't catch the *555ed straight away though, the cops can do little. I know this because after three calls about SOMEBODY doing wheel stands on the motor way, on a bike the same as mine, with matching registration number, I received no ticket after a brief interview with the local constabulary.

I'm told, the trick is to keep the wheel up for such a long time, that the story the cops hear is pretty unbelievable. Then when they ask about it, laugh and looked shocked they'd taken it seriously enough to get you down there.

But if the Com's center takes the details of the caller ... and they are willing to appear in court ... :facepalm:

Would be a very stupid person that admitte to such idiotic behaviour in the first place though, I'm sure someone with such low regard for public safety would plead innocent and have a fairly easy case to defend.

[scumdog]

Hmm, I COULD show you a list of people who have appeared in Court in those circumstances - and to their dismay they found it a case that they couldn't successfully defend...;)

I'm not quite as dumb as I sound or look, there is no defence to be had, nor would I, (if I had ever broken the law) try to defend doing wheelies in court. I might try the argument regarding sentencing, that it is safer to brake the law on purpose, than by accident in such circumstances as wheelies.

[Kickaha]

I'm not quite as dumb as I sound or look

I'm not sure I would agree with that statement

[FJRider]

Aside from the fact that no admission on the part of the person(s) stopped to issue a ticket is required. I don't think they even need to tell you they have a witness that will testify in couirt against you. The camera phone downloads (especially the one's with a video) are pretty easy easy nowdays. And are pretty conclusive as evidence.

And only those with a low regard for public safety would try to defend it anyway ...

If true then you were lucky, mabey the cops got pulled to something more serious , or they wern't sure their witness would show up in court. :pinch:

As for keeping it up for soooooooooooooooooooooo long that the cops don't believe you . Use that excuse in a porn video, the cops won't wear it.:facepalm:

[caspernz]

The whole *555 setup only works when there's nothing else pressing to attend to in my opinion. I drive for a living, and out of all the times I've called *555 (apart from 111 for the real drunk buggers) it's been a relatively lukewarm response and only one capture of a noddy tintop pilot...

Had a bloke in an R32-variant skyline, oncoming, in my lane overtaking around a blind corner at great speed (in Beachaven, no less, north shore). Stopped straight away and *555'd with haste and continue on to my dad's house (Pants full of shit, obviously), bloke was pulled over not 2-3k's up the road, was some good shit.

The other 4 times have been much what you described.

[Usarka]

nor would I....... try to defend doing wheelies in court.

No point - the judge would see you.

Not fair, *555 only got me a bored cop on the phone telling me stop wasting his time.

[PrincessBandit]

Goodness me - hairy bottoms at this hour of the morning! I must go scrub my eyes out while I have my shower!

I have been known to use *555 on a few occasions and think it's great.

As for the OP and the ensuing :girlfight: "good story bro" (I won't go looking for the many images that accompany that well-used tag line here); the meaning to written responses can be tricky to negotiate but here's the measuring rod: If someone has really been pissed off by you they will call you all names under the sun plus a few more, and probably include comments about your mother. Oh, and if that doesn't get your fingers typing faster than your accelerated pbm then they'll call your bike a POS. If that hasn't happened then I wouldn't be too concerned that they're out for your blood. :msn-wink:

[Skiwi]

I have been known to use *555 on a few occasions and think it's great.

A cop mate of mine ( I know, I know, but what can you do, he's a good bastard otherwise) said half the reason for the success of the *555 system is that it lets the reporter of the incident vent rather than getting wound up and doing something even more stupid than the original dropkick.

I do about 50k a year in a tintop and know I would be tempted to execute a few pit maneuvers if it wasn't there :2guns:

To argue with a judge regards sentencing ... can only go bad.
I think you misunderstand me. To plead a case, is to argue your point. I would argue the point at sentencing, that I was aware of the conditions, I am quite capable of controlling a bike one one wheel, and that I was being a lot safer than someone who accidentally (the most common excuse given to the cops) hoisted the front.

Depends on the charge. Careless driving? Probably not bother and just pony up the fine. Dangerous driving? Will argue that one every time.

I don't know you ... so I cannot argue on your abilities. Judges see the highlighted bit on the charge sheet ... the rest is history ...

Unless you are a professional stunt rider ... a defended court case, on either charge ... is most likely ... not going to end to your advantage.

I'm just making a half arsed argument to get some bitching going.

If you can win on KB then you'll probably be a shoe in for an actual court case.

KB and Court Case are two subjects that will never marry...seperately however, each deserves a certain amount of scepticism.
Throw away the Tutu and rise against the conformity....:Punk:

In short..I agree with you.
