Busted! 40km/h legislation strikes again [Archive]

Yep, I got done. (Burnt Face Man anyone?)

93 in a 50, 28 days, $510 bux0rs. ouch.

I was SOO fucking dumb, I didn't realise there was a cop RIGHT BEHIND ME at the lights, which I had been waiting at for a couple of minutes.

Nice clear road up ahead, vroom, heard the sirens as I pulled into my destination up the street. Hmm.

Worse still, I passed the cop in question (at a perfectly legal speed) just 100m before, on the side of the road. He must have though "hmm, biker, let's get 'im!"

Teh sucks.

93 in a 50 is pretty fuckin stupid to be honest and if you were not aware enough of your surroundings to see a cop behind you then riding at that speed in a built up area is pretty inexcusable.

Keep the hooning for the open roads or motorways, built up and residential areas have speed limits for a reason and abusing them like that just makes people scorn bikers even more. Especially in the nice little villages and towns on our favourite roads.

Im (kinda) sorry if I come out sounding like a biarch, however 93 in a 50 zone is dangerous. Plain and simple. At least you can admit that you were dumb, but for not noticing the cop? I dont think so, you were dumb because you were doing 93 in a 50 k zone. Do the words personal responsibity mean anything to you?
Your last statement really contradictes the rest of your post too, btw. Sorry for "preaching" but really 93 in a 50 k zone what the hell were you thinking?!

Still 93km/hr in a 50 on a bike is a lot less dangerous than a truck doing 70 in a 50, or a Mother in a 2 tonne SUV txting and putting on makeup.
Not many people get maimed or killed by having bikes hit them....compared to 4 wheeled vehicles.
But yes it was a pretty silly thing to do.
I generally keep my speeding to the open road, easier to justify when the roads empty for miles and the suns out. :)

I agree. 43 over the limit in a 100 zone, fair enough. But in a 50 zone, that's nots really on.

He must have though "hmm, biker, let's get 'im!"
Well you did make it easy for him didn't you.

I actually think he would have thought - Hey, theres a guy doing 93 in a 50. lets stop him before he kills himself or somebody else!

edit: i'm not being hypocritcal. i open it up all the time. but when travelling through the city and residential areas i ride AND drive like a 5 year old is going to leep out from behind a parked car, or a dumb ass cager is going to pull infront of me from a driveway.

What chance do you have when someone pulls out of there driveway at that speed. What chance do you have if someone suddenly stops in fornt of you for any reason.

93 in a 50K area - well if you accelerate from lights you sometimes can creep up that high let's face it, but still, it is illegal and potentially unsafe so you need to face up to the consequences.

This time 93 in a 50 zone was patently not dangerous. Or else the cop would have done him for dangerous.
Which makes you wonder why his licence was taken.
I was about to say 93 k's is 1.5 seconds and a throttle twitch away, then I saw your ride. Oops.

your normally up with the play Luigi...since 16 jan this year you get the privilege of public transport for 28 days for exceeding the POSTED limit by more than 40kmh....doesnt apply to TEMPORARY limits, they remain at 50+kmh
now thats one clever move by the Politicians

actually I wondered if you entered Parliament by stealth and came up with that wonderful piece of legislation??

I know all that. I'm pointing out the stupidity of a speed not being sufficient to warrant a charge of dangerous, Yet having one of you lot pluck their licence for it.

Riding it back to his house, I could kinda understand why he got the ticket. It's a pretty violent bike, I found myself going 100 indicated (so only like 80) and thought "oh shit, slow down". My RG is far more sedate, I assume because a new piston is overdue

most people bitching about the people criticising 90 in a 50 are misreading the argument
it's not the fact that he was speeding, it's the fact that if he'd gone to a 100k zone where he could have quite legally gone 90 or even 100k/h (if the rg goes that fast...)

NOT every 50 k zone is a suburban street thronged with hordes of kiddies chasing balls onto the street............many are more open and less populated than 100 k zones in the McKenzie country. A typical "blanket" reaction favoured by , oh so many people, because an authority has deemed it so!

Lotsa industrial areas in Dorkland, even these days pretty well deserted at weekends. Wide streets, no side traffic (cos all the factory gates are locked.)100kph ? Say 300, quite safely (insofar as ANY speed is safe ).

But pulling 93kph with the plod right behind- that's not safe . (I assume it wasn't a mufti)

its a 50 zone! thats the speed limit. i cant believe this. there is no gray area. 70 is the very upper limit of how fast you should be going in a 50. up to 70 you are still breaking the law - just not being a complete cock.

at 93 you are breaking the law, you are being a cock annnd you deserved what you got.

Hondas obviously suck.

And on another note I was 1kmh away from a nice walk on my first ticket, but not as 'silly' circumstances. I realise how easy it is to speed creep when you ain't fully concentrating. Just ride it out and learn a lesson that there is a time and place for everything.

At the same time, I have done some stupid things in my life and I doubt I have finished yet. I hope you are able to take something positive out of the whole experience.

Lucky no one was hurt and it's only 28 days without your bike and 164 shifts at Macas.

Damn right! His bike revs so hard, it's almost impossible not be in too low a gear. I was cuising to his place at 9,000rpm+ most of the way. And he has lower profile tyres so it tips in so quick

Shit, you must of had at least 20 secs in which to get to 93kph to realise that it was a silly idea?

Give the RG more credit than that. It's quicker than a CBR (except when going over 120k)

EDIT: Oh, you got rid of the CBR. How come?

Yea I know, it was a PT.

The CBR was slowing me down, I want an R6 or F4i, but Im still saving.

Fair enough. Why not think about a motard as a possible next bike? Haven't got the top speed of a 600 but you won't be needing that kinda speed on the road

True, but Im not a motard person

Not the brightest idea as you have admitted...but agree with the point that it is way safer than a car doing over the limit but lower speeds. Just check it using physics! Ek=1/2mvsquared.
Bad luck dude, keep them eyes open for the five oh aye?
