what ever you want to call it

no more stealth mode

Me-4, Bacon-1

they know who I am

GAME OVER

I have always made a point of pretending not to notice the fuzz unless they are right on my tail, this policy has stood me in good steed for years, not necessarily doing a runner, but not stopping either.

Today I was passing a car on the way to work(late again), when the oncoming car lit up like a Christmas tree, :shit: , so I check my speed ~125, and look around me, wet road, no oncoming traffic, only two cars behind me (one with flashing lights, one with a smug old lady in it) too far from work to run and hide, so I decided to pull over and get a bollocking, seeing as I wasn't likely to lose my licence, although I was a bit worried about the status of said license, among other things

and encountered the most approachable cop I have ever met! "only" done me for speed, 122 checked 35 demerits, ouch, but there seemed to be some sort of confusion as to the "status" of my and warrant, so he let me off rater than wait for confirmation, so I wouldn't be any later for work than I was already, cool eh.

although this has cost me $170/35pts, I really appreciate the fact that the cop was prepared to overlook all the other infringements that were hanging around me like flies, he could have cost me 1000s and confiscated my bike if he wanted.

I though I was screwed when he noted that I had an extensive prior history of traffic offenses, but when I pointed out that I hadn't been caught for 10 years, he just grinned and said he had been after me for months :o

Cheers to the mufti for being fair:rockon: , I am a bit ashamed for getting a ticket, but I am proud of myself for not doing a runner.

I wonder if I could have made it?

2km of straightish highway to hiding place, no traffic to use as blockers, mufti commodore vs CBX400........

I think I did the right thing

[MSTRS]

... mufti commodore vs CBX400........

No question

[_Gina_]

You did do the right thing dude, Karma sorted the rest out eh?

So do I.....
Seriously though, you got off lightly as I am sure you know, sounds like the cop was pretty decent about it and running is usually not a good idea.
Good onya for manning up when the time came.

[xwhatsit]

Hahaha! Hey fellow law infringer! Sounds like you caught some good luck there -- hopefully me too, and my letterbox stays empty for a week or so.

I suppose there were many advantages to that Z200, one of them being 125kph doesn't come up quite so easily :innocent:

[ManDownUnder]

I think I did the right thing

Sounds like the cop did too...

[lb99]

125kph doesn't come up quite so easily :innocent:

if at all lol

[lb99]

yeah, I reckon its fair, in fact all of the cops I have met since I stopped getting in the shit have been proffesional and good to deal with, but when I was a crim they were all pricks!, I wonder why that is?


plus I might need this guys help when I tell the wife :shutup:

[zeRax]

us locals being busted :/ got done for 132 last saturday

[Toaster]

Always better to stop and take it than run and have them catch you and shove it up there so hard you spit pubes.

[JimO]

they are just like us, have a look at your workplace and there are people who you would class as "good" guys and others who would be classed as pricks sounds like you met a good guy. i got pulled over lots in the 70s and 80s on bikes and never got a ticket it all comes down to attitude if you dont puss up 9 times out of 10 they wont either

[lb99]

us locals being busted :/ got done for 132 last saturday

ouch, thats like 40points dude

do you work on battys road?

[scumdog]

Don't let Dover or SixPackBack catch you speaking so favourably about the effing pigs.

Pigs are NOT to be liked, tolerated or spoken of in a positive way - EVER!

[lb99]

... classed as pricks ....

yeah, you should have heard my boss go onandonandonandon about it, sheesh, you would think I raped his daughter or something.

SPEED KILLS

he went on and on about the fine too, till I pointed out that I had been dodging cops for 10 years, and this one is like losing money on a poker machine, then he said "well thats not BREAKING THE LAW is it?" I broke the law, I do it every day to some degree, I got caught, I'll pay the fine, thats the risk I take. anyways I could always go out and clock up 100000s and swap it for fuck all PD on saturdays

[shafty]

Good post, and well done. The cat caught the mouse, lol, but good karma

ermm what do you do when theres not enough spaces on the infringment notice for all of the infringements to be noted?, I think I did ok to get away with what I did

im shure that you arnt a bad bloke underneath that gruff exterior

[scumdog]

What happened to kiwifruits post??

[boomer]

the rozza only cares about the speeding ticket mate, his performance targets don't get a boost for dodgy wofs etc... it's all a game to make you think they're do gooders..... not only are they robbin bastads they're sly cunning shits too :shit:


think about it logically... a failed wof or rego is just as likely to cause an accident as speed is, if not more so?! Whilst speeding you're aware of what your doing and your senses are heightened on the other hand a dodgy bike with no WOF, you have no idea what might 'brake' just when you need it....

scandalous

[zeRax]

ouch, thats like 40points dude

do you work on battys road?

nah, i work up wairau valley just over the bridge in a workshop for a vineyard

Yeah - like the old legend: "The faster you go - the bigger the mess"

"Sir, you were doing a 121kmh, that's why I stopped you"

"Oh, no warrant? no reg? only on a learners licence? AND you were not wearing your seat-belt!

Bad luck, just as they say "the faster you go the bigger the me$$!"

Thats what teh rozzas use as sweetners... dependant on
a) how good a day hes had ( did he get laid this month / has he done all his paperwork / has he had a coffee break / were the donuts fresh ... blah blah )
b) how personable he finds the person hes pulled over
c) has he met his targets

if its all going in your favour you might get off with $ome, if not then rape time.


Like the copper that pulled up on the motor way when i was swapping my tyres out, he should have done me, the inside was down to the metal on both the rears and one of em was hitting the gaurd, hence me stoppin to change it.. but no.. how you doing, all good.. cool.. see ya.

that shit should have cost me $$ in fines, cos i agree, its hazardous.. but cos he don't get brownie points and just more paper work and i was being personable .. no ticket. Not liek the cunty red haired git that failed me for my number plate being on an angle cos i called him a twat. :D

its all arse about face, i dont for a minute believe teh police police with teh public safety in mind as a primary focus.

Wrong there... accident promoting offences are a part of the quotas... a WOF is included in these accident promoting figures. He got lucky like so many do...

BAD COP... NO DONUT...

[boomer]

Wrong there... accident promoting offences are a part of the quotas... a WOF is included in these accident promoting figures.

Does that mean included in this document, outlining offences likely to promote accidents, are such things like...

Deficients of a 'Y' chromosome
Most non europian or pakiha types
The Elderly
Incorrectly angled number plates
..feel free to add to the list ;)
I still reckon.. and you aren't gonna fess upto it, that theres a {political} push/drive/incentives for speeding with less leniency given to the biggest misdemeanor of our generation

Like the cop hiding in the heaps of shingle along the Tangoio beach front and the one sitting in the shade in the dip in the road at Tutira last weekend as the bikes came back from Gisborne.

Get out on the road and do your job. The only problem I have is the slimy hide factor. As you and I have spoken about before. Everyone should have an Escort X50 to make it fair. I remember a time when cops could hide but I am sure they were told to get out of the bushes and Police properly.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I don't have any other problem with da cops. they make the roads useable. And I am sure I will be keen to see them if I got hit by a car but it is the sneaky hide thing that makes me mad.
We bike riders think we have it bad. You want to hear what the God squad do to trucks.................................

thats the attitude. cops are the most highly regarded citizens of nz society. its the dover an sexpacks that are filth wrotten raping pillaging money hungry power tripping vile excuses for benefits to society.

"Cos its 'not fair'?????

Get back to school sports if you want 'fair'.


Otherwise it seems "They-should-be-where-I-can-see-them-because-I-speed-a-lot-and-do-other-stuff-I-shouldn't-but-don't-want-to-get-caught" is your attitude from what I read into your comment.

[spudchucka]

ermm what do you do when theres not enough spaces on the infringment notice for all of the infringements to be noted?, I think I did ok to get away with what I did

They come in pads of 25.

Thankfully I don't have to carry one any more and in the last year I was only good for about 50 something IONs.

Uh, yeah. Seems pretty much right to me. Preferably with a big flag or something, so I can see you from a good distance. If you're going to be stopped for a while it would be good if y' put some signs out , along the road up head. After all , we expect other road hazards tro be signed.

Get it sorted will y'.

And your point is??

With the Escort X 50 I think it is Fair.

Even playing field makes for great sport. Rules stop people having an advantage.

Play on please. You will know when I get my next penalty. I will cry foul :nono:
