My first ever warning

[Hitcher]

Usually when I am apprehended by The Fuzz(TM) my arse is toast. I have successfully proven this theory in parts foreign as well, most notably in the Great State of Oregon.

Last night I was out in the Wairarapa on the FJR. Another splendid evening over there for riding. On my way back from Martinborough I drove into the first long straight and immediately noticed a simply marvellous disco lights display atop a Holden Commodore wagon heading ominously towards me.

Sigh.

I indicated my stopping intention and did so immediately.

The officer approached. A young female model with a big grin on her face.

"Do you know how fast you were going?" she enquired.

"About 118?"

"124. Want to have look?"

"No thanks, I trust your gear."

"I'm going to let you off with a warning. It's a lovely night for a ride and there's nobody else around. I ride myself and it's really easy to get a good drive on out of that corner. Take it easy and enjoy your ride home."

"Have a nice evening!"

Thank you kindly Constable. Your consideration is greatly appreciated!

[batboy]

my goodness, was this encounter with the police ocompanied by a great airel formation of a flock of pigs in the afternoon sky?

I really hope this happens to me next i get stopped :clap:

This is the part where you consider 'resisting arrest' :whistle:

Last night I was out in the Wairarapa on the FJR.

Really?

[Blossom]

For there to be a 'rule' there must be an 'exception'.... I suspect that was it...:lol:
Good on ya. buy a lotto ticket cause you just got real lucky. :yes:

[martybabe]

Result H, a good evenings ride and a decent lady officer. I'd mark that down as a pleasant night out.

124 eh, must get on the Katphone, anarchy and mischief breaking out down Wairarapa way!

Well done you and her.:)

[mister.koz]

Nice :) did you take it easy on the ride from there?

ps. was she hot? :D

[Hitcher]

Really?

It needed a run.

[Fatt Max]

Nice one my old son.....:banana:

[alanzs]

Dam, you should have asked her out. Considering you were lucky enough to get off of getting a ticket, you should a asked her out or at least bought a lotto ticket! :)

[vifferman]

Answer me this:
If in fact the amicable young police officerette had given you a ticket, some points, and a bill for a compulsory donation to the Policepersons' Donut Orphans' Fund, would this have made a greater impression on you?
Which would have made you more likely to "see the error of your ways", more likely to "take care on the roads", more likely to be 'good'?
Apart from contributing to the imaginary ticket quota :rolleyes:, and the aforementioned fund, does the imposition of punitive measures really make a difference to our attitude (apart from imbuing an attitude of resentment and disrespect to our (l)awful enforcers?

[vifferman]

No offense, but that's dumb: Hitcher is happily empartnered already, and there's no such thing as luck. Even if there were, surely it would be logical to assume that having used up his dollop of good luck, his likelihood of winning a lottery is now lessened, rather than increased.

[JimO]

i have been stopped and warned lots of times over the years, last time i went through a compulsory stop right in front of a cop (in my defence there was a give way there last time i used the intersection)

[NighthawkNZ]

"About 118?"

never say about...


"Do you know what speed you were doing..."

"Yes I do..."

[davebullet]

Well this concludes a few things:
1. We know now the result of the best looking male on KB
2. The FJR has a speedo that reads slower than reality (unlike most others)
3. Honesty is the best policy - not giving the police officer excuses, crap and denial (which they get most of the time) must make their job easier.
4. 124 is a safe speed in the right hands
5. Being aware of what you were doing gives the cop confidence in your ability
6. I will never be so lucky.

[portokiwi]

:2thumbsup She was hot and she let you off:2thumbsup
Some guys have all the luck.

Tickets, and lots of them have the most impact. Of course there are people who just don't care. but warnings are evenless likely to influence them.

Some countries have Yeti's, some have Bigfoot.....
Some people believe in toothfairies some in Santa...

You can have the lot.....
I want desperately to believe in this mythical Wairarapa goddess .......

That will be my excuse when speeding around the lower North Island anyway......

None taken! I just figured, hell, if you're lucky enough to get off of a ticket, who knows what could happen!

[SPman]

4. 124 is a safe speed in the right hands
.

well...at least he avoided a rant about "not wanting to pick you up off the road at the next corner" ,for speeding at 113 on the straight.......mutter...mutter...mutter.....

[Swoop]

Yin and Yang, and all of that.
The "Ginger" and now the "Lovely".

A phone number would be nice.

[Hitcher]

A phone number would be nice.

Buy yourself a prepaid. Problem sorted.

Poor form!
I was expecting "dial 111".

:2thumbsup She was hot and she let you off:2thumbsup

If he's popsting from her place, :yes:THEN he has all the luck!:yes:

[Robbo]

Nice One Hitcher, but i'm sure that your approach to this situation with the correct attitude was the thing that won the day. :2thumbsup

[breakaway]

"Do you know how fast you were going?" she enquired.

"About 118?"

Just a quick question for you officers here - If the officer in the scenario above had no 'evidence' (i.e. readout on speed gun), could this be taken as an admission of guilt leading to a fine?

From reading internet boards :calm: I have always taken that the key is to deny everything until they hit you with some evidence.

[Hitcher]

From reading internet boards I have always taken that the key is to deny everything until they hit you with some evidence.

Honesty is the best policy. I reckon you get a sense of how the conversation is likely to go early on. Generally I know if I'm pulled over that I'm fucked. Last night I knew I would have been over the limit, and I was genuinely surprised by the amount. Cops have got space-age kit in their cars that is more likely to be right than wrong, particularly when you are the only object moving faster than a ferociously grazing Friesian in the whole county. If I thought that there was reasonable cause for doubt, like a hairdresser in an MX5 furiously accelerating in the general direction of my date, or a benevolent planetary alignment reducing my drag coefficient, I would have mentioned that as a topic for consideration.

[Gremlin]

Why is it that the unavailable older guys meet the cute cops AND get let off.

I'm single, love girlies in uniform, and I get the guy cops, that would love to nail my arse to a wall, but will be satisfied with a ticket.

:weep:

yes... jealous and bitter all in one twisted package

[nico]

This is the part where you consider 'resisting arrest' :whistle:

Girls in police uniform... :love:

me likes as long as it aint a ginger ninja:laugh:

[Conquiztador]

Shoud'nt this thread be in "Jokes" ?

[Patrick]

"Do you know what speed you were doing..."

"Yes I do..."

Hitchers honesty is a far better option. may not win every time.... but being vague just leads directly to a ticket....

If the speed even "showed" on the radar, that can be enough. It doesn't "have" to be locked on to show, but it is better to, to avoid argument.

But even better would be a lovely uniformed girlie nailing your @rse to a wall....??? Depends how kinky you are.

I reckon Hitcher did some major eyelash batting and cleavage flashing and she ran away before getting the rest of her ticket spiel out. :dodge:

[Owl]

Honesty is the best policy.

+1 Hitcher!

Honesty once got me less than a warning and just some advice like "It may be a good idea to take your bike home and look at doing a course to reduce the time on your restricted licence"!

Offences commited:Oops:
1. Speeding
2. 750cc on restricted licence
3. Carrying a pillion
4. Riding at about 1.30am

The bike was an 88 FZR-750 with no cc marking's. I knew one of the male officer's had done a QVR??? while I spoke to the female officer and he carefully looked around my bike before asking the two obvious questions. "What size is this bike"? followed by "And what licence do you have"?
Moral of the story; The truth will sometimes set you free!:laugh:

[tri boy]

[/b]

Really?

Thats what I thought. Is the Shiver honey moon over so quick?
Does Hitcher's neck muscles need manipulation from wind blast?
Is motorcycle "two timing" in this mans blood?
Will the Shiver seek revenge on the Yamaha?
Tune in tomorrow, as the sands flow serenely through the hour glass, that is Hitcher's Ride Time.:cool:

[McJim]

"Did you stab that guy?"
"Er....mibbe?"
:buggerd:
I have never felt the need to lie to a Police officer but that's coz my only contact with the constabulary involves the questions:
"Do you fancy a cuppa?"
"Tea or coffee?"
"How do you take your coffee?"
Usually when I'm passing through Balclutha.

Cops just don't bother stopping me - perhaps they suspect I am beyond redemption :rofl:

[scumdog]

Got a sort of 'warning' from a coppa yesterday.

Boss says calling people 'drongo', 'drop-kick' and 'slack-jawed mouthbreathing idjit'
on my radio report isn't nice and maybe another term could be used. (or it might go international???):innocent:

Now deciding between 'lackwit' 'vacuum-headed cretin and 'brain-deficit leech on society' as my new descriptive terms.....:lol:

'Tis my policy in life for all things. One particular time (there are a few :( ) I was taking an RX8 for a test drive, I was going rather fast and ended up going round the lights on the corner of Selwyn street onto Broughham Street on a few too many wheels, pulled up on the side of the road and got out of the car talking to my son over the roof to offer him a drive and talk about what a neat car it was to drive.

After a few sentences, we heard a siren and looked down from whence we had come and there was a police car travelling very fast with sirens blaring! I said to my son, 'gawd - I wouldn't want to be the one he was chasing!'

My son responded with something like 'lol, as long as it wasn't you!' when just after the cop car passed us, there was a screech of brakes and he pulled into the side of the road.

Without thinking, I hopped off up the road to help him out of the car (!) and ask what the problem was. 'Please GOD don't tell me it was YOU driving that thing' he asked me.

To which of course I responded with enthusiasm, 'It sure was! These things are AWEsome, have you had a real look at them? Just test driving the thing and it kinda got away on me, sorry. Come and have a look!'

He shook his head, we walked up to the car and talked about a bit about different cars and I asked him what the damage was.

I was astounded when he said that he would let me off with a warning. Then he added that if I was going to travel at those speeds I had best do it on the motorway.... and 'if I catch you I will ticket you!' And off he went.

(PS My son was astounded and said it was the 'tit factor' that got me off, not the owning up bit. Jury is still out on that one!)

How about Goron?

[NighthawkNZ]

Hitchers honesty is a far better option. may not win every time.... but being vague just leads directly to a ticket...

I always know what speed I am doing at any particular time.

When I get asked do you know what speed I was doing I simply answer "yes I do..." I don't tell him what speed... If the cop gives me an incorrect speed then I will contest it, (especially in central)... Its not up to me to tell the cop what speed I was doing which could be a straight admittance of speeding... up to the cop to tell me what speed he thinks I was doing.

if he gets it right then its fair catch of the cob... I usually have no reason to lie anyway...

Yes, a wee tip I passed on to H some time ago. Glad to see it's paying dividends.

Mrs O1 once managed to avoid a ticket, having been caught red handed at 140k in my GT30, just north of National Park. Towing a trailer. With a MK1 Escort on it.

It's a hard road to find the perfect woman. Sigh.

...and already made the donation to someone else:lol:

[NighthawkNZ]

Lay off the "P".... way too paranoid. They already know how fast you were going. Its a trick question to see if you know what you are actually doing.....

err I know that's why you never say it... and let them say the speed you are doing... and you only answer "I know exactly what speed I was doing"

There is one cop in Alexandra (the bad egg of the batch) who has been over heard in the local... (And is well known to do this in the district) that he does not set his radar and will pull you over and asks what speed you were doing... when the answer 115 he will ticket you for 115, not whats on his radar this way the tickets are all different. If you say 95 kph he will say he has got you on radar doing 120...

A while back three people were traveling back (at slightly different times) all three go a speeding ticket for doing 122... on the same patch of road and all three swear they were doing 100 at the time (one usually travels at 95k every where)

now saying this I ok if I get caught doing 120... but if I only doing 100 (even though I feel safer at that speed) anything slower I feel like I about to be rammed in the rear but that's just me... then nobody should have to pay for ticket saying they were doing 120 when they weren't we all agree there...

Now most... most cops are honest and good and doing a great job, its the one or two spread out through various districts that shouldn't be there, and are just liers, power hungry control freaks

[more_fasterer]

Its a trick question to see if you know what you are actually doing.....

As is the "Any reason for your speed?"

Apparently "I was driving to the conditions" is the wrong answer...

[Cr1MiNaL]

meh I wuda slapped her , held her down on the bonnet of her car and made passionate love to her.... then have her arrest me and take me back to her place. you got let off with a warning and your happy?

[Patrick]

As is the "Any reason for your speed?"

Apparently "I was driving to the conditions" is the wrong answer...

More to do with genuine medical emergencies, "Me Mrs is dropping the baby in the back seat..." type of thing....

But if I had a dollar for every time I heard, "I'm busting for the loo".....:zzzz:

[CB ARGH]

Pity she wasn't the cop that pulled me over for doing 100 on a learners license. :crybaby:
