Classic Catch!

From another forum...

"As most in here will be aware, my current occupation is not a real secret and not the most favoured one amongst most of you. All that aside, today I fulfilled a fantasy that no doubt most of you would secretly or openly harbour.

Situation - Riding to work today and as I approach the one round-about on my journey, I slow and approach with caution.

Caution? - I do this because this (and indeed most) round-abouts rely on the driver / rider to actually engage their brain in first gear and think about that give way rule. They don't have to rely on a set of lights to tell them what to do, so they actually should think about what they are doing.

The approach - As I am heading to the round-about, I check no cars entering or approaching to my right so I am clear. A quick glance to the left and I see a BMW X5 urban assault vehicle, complete with (sorry ladies) a female driver at the helm. I am close enough to see that her brief, and boy do I mean brief, glance towards my approach has not yeilded her actually seeing me. I can only judge this because by now she hasn't begun to slow down.

The entry - Now I am not dumb. I know I haven't been seen and am not planning on becoming a hood ornament. I adjust my speed enough so I could arrive in roughly the same spot on the round-about as she does as she enters the round-about, and obviously slow and apply a fair quantity of horn (the one atached to the bike that is) to garnish her attention.

The result - Yes, there was the initial shock upon her face. However that quickly transferred to my face as she proceeded to give me a middle finger salute as she proceeded on her merry way.

However - Her personlised rego number was very easy to remember the short distance to work.

The investigation - Suffice to say it was quickly discovered that she lived locally

The visit - I knock on the front door some 2 hours later and politely inform her that I was there investigating a traffic incident from earlier that day and ask a few questions about the matter. The kicker was when she said "That motorbike rider has got no proof it happened, you can't do anything about it. Even if I did do it, who cares, no one got hurt."

The outcome - It was at about that point that the dreaded yellow piece of paper was completed and handed over to her as her verbal tirade continued. It wasn't until the very end after many threats of court appearances and "I'll have your job" and the like did I inform her that it was I that was on that motorbike.

[Beemer]

Brilliant, wish it happened more often!

[98tls]

Good for you....whatta bitch...sounds like she wouldnt have cared if she had knocked you off the bike.

[Marknz]

Hang on lads.... that was not me! As stated at the top of the thread, this is from another forum.

[98tls]

[Bend-it]

Really pisses me off when people are in the fault and they still flick the bird... Wish I had a 12ga on me at that time!

[bobsmith]

people actually have to make an effort to "think" at a round about??? uhhh... right.......... someone needs their IQ tested and wiped out from earth to ensure they don't further taint the gene pool....

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Classic. She would have be smartin like hell!! Who cares what gender - they got what they deserved.

[Patrick]

Wonder... since she gave the bird, whether it was replied in kind, with interest perhaps, after her outbust???

[Wasp]

ive seen this before =/ not sure where though....

[SuperDave]

Yeah it's utter bullshit when someone gives you the finger or swears at you when it is themselves that are entirely in the wrong.

I've had a little daydream of being knocked off the bike by a stupid careless driver and then getting up off the tarmac and bashing the person who knocked me off the bike in the face with my carbon knuckled gloves.

Good story even if it wasn't you.

[Calo]

Haha, good job. :rockon:

[nadroj]

Heard of a local plod catching 2 locals relieving themselves in a shop doorway last weekend. He gave them 2 options: a night in the slammer or remove their shirts and clean it up. After protests of the price of their shirts the options were repeated. Shortly afterwards 2 lads were seen walking away carrying their shirts.
My kind of justice!

[crazybigal]

now thats what we pay or tax $$$$$ for!
well done! think ive seen the x5 in question and her driving in jville.

[crazybigal]

Just standard riding is a hazard these days. Riding through town yesterday - one woman pulls out from a park to my left and another from the right hand lane! Just as well I saw it coming coz they smacked into each other. And I thanked my lucky stars...

[Clivoris]

Top hole. If I was to meet this anonymous copper I'd be buying him a drink. Shame he's anonymous.

Don't think so chap, it came from 'stralia.

Absolutely. I can deal with people being rude, but aggressive rudeness irritates the hell out of me.

True, we all bollocks things up from time to time. If you screw up, there's no shame in admitting your mistake, but getting all self righteous and going off is just, um... bad.

[Insanity_rules]

That was justice!

Too right ! I nearly got wasted by a 'crumpet' in a Black BMW a few weeks ago heading up Vivian Street towards the highway. Bitch objected to me taking at least five seconds to change lane so she put her foot down to cut me off and I didn't see her until she nearly sideswiped my left side. It was close so I stalked her along the motorway for a while to put the wind up. In the past I have actually applied boot polish to sides of such MV's however I just glare and stalk now a days.

The Team Leader is heading North tomorrow and as I have said I might head up to Waikanae,shes promising to wast any one on a yellow or gold bike so you have been warned. Shes not sure what brand I ride so colour is her target. Not too sure why she is so pissed off with me.! Can't remember which practical joke may have caused this reaction either.

[Finn]

Okay she got what was coming her way but I ask you this. If we reported careless driving or even a robery, would the cops take action within 2 hours. I don't think so.

An abuse of power I say.

X5's are cool. Road superiority.

Agreed. Mind you it should have some priority just to get these sorts sorted before they actually do wast someone due to their driving and its possible that said cause of inattention or bad driving is drug or booze related so go after them ASAP. But you are right of course that this wouldn't really happen.

[Patrick]

I didnt issue any infingement notices as it was not a technically lawful stop as i did not have flashing lights and siren.

You showed your Police ID. It is lawful. Nice story BTW...

What? Ignoring something blatent right in front of you to attend to a possible crime someplace else? I might cause her to think twice before she cleans you up next trip...

So I'd say it's a sensible use of power myself.

X5's maybe cool in Auckland Finn old chap but honestly, they are definately not cool any place else.... Except maybe in a compactor. Now toyota Starlets mate - thems cool...

[RnB Fan]

Brilliant - brought a smile to my face.

[Clivoris]

Robberies are attended very well by the New Zealand Police. Even in burglaries where the offender has long decamped we will be there within 24 hours or within 15minutes of the agreed time. Offender on scene burglaries are always treated as a priority one event. Thats better than a lot of other countries.

We have improved a lot over the last year with dedicated burglary squads and crime squads being utilised better.

EDIT: careless driving complaints taken across the counter are sent to a dedicated traffic enquires officer who charges them. If people ring up and state they are following someone whose driving is dangerous or careless Police will look for him.

Good yarn man. I think we have a pretty good police force here. I'm damn glad you buggers are out there doing it.:first: :Police: :first:
