Thanks mr traffic cop

[Pixie]

I got stopped for 119 the cop asked if I had just passed the truck,I didn't recall any truck(boring straight at ruakaka)Then I realised he was giving me an excuse!He let me off with a warning.
Maybe his quota was full.

Good stuff
Good to see this still happens occasionally,I was beginning to have my doubts...

Um actually the bikers opening line to the cop was on Hindsite a classic.
"ohh jeysus mate god honest truth -I thought you were a fuckwit"
Hmm perhaps not the best thing to a bloke with your licence in his hand.

Maybe not, but it was probably that spontaneous outburst that proved to the cop that y-ahh-the biker was telling the truth.

Great cop, sounds like he appreciates the natural reaction to someone behaving like that arsehole cager.

I've been tailgated in that fashion once - terrified the shit outta me. Unfortunately I was not on a bike capable of the "lose licence" category of speed. Having almost a ton of cage up ya freckle does a lot of medicinal good - can cure constipation or diarrhoea as necessary.

If the cop's lurking here: good on ya mate.

Great story, Frosty

[FROSTY:Me]

Ya know what thinking about it maybee my attititude has changed or maybee the cops on highway patrol are more mature than the old days when HP was a duty ya had to do before becoming a "real" cop
Either way any tickets i've had in the past few years (very few thank gosh)
have all been fair cop.
I don't even think Ive had a rego/wof check done.

12. Dont assume female officers will be charmed by the bulge in your Technics

It would impress the hell out of me....shame I'm not a cop!

[madboy]

Every now and then it's good to strike a good one - restores your faith in the system. The last one who gave me a ticket was pretty cool about it... but the last one who said he was posting me a ticket (who never did) was a complete plonker about it. I choose to forget him.

[FROSTY:Me]

If I diddn't know better I'da sworn he actually ENJOYED the chase. Ohh thats right they aint allowed to enjoy emselves :spudwhat:

If the cop is lurking here I think we had better hope he don't see frosty's sig, or he might have second thoughts about not giving him a ticket. I have to agree thou, good on ya mate. Frosty you were lucky. I have met some real beeps of cops but then ive also met some real good guys and gals for that matter. Once again way to go dude

[babyB]

your a lucky lad good 1 xj. things are changin

NEVER SAY TO A COP
1. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a
warning, too!
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in
3. Aren' t you the guy from the Village People?
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 200 k's to keep up with me. Good
job!
5. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer
6. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer
7. I pay your salary!
8. 9. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does
10. When the Officer says "Gee ..Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with,"Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"

Still pretty tame compared with Frosty's line, babyB.

How's this for an exchange:

Dramatis Personae:
Me, the narrator/protagonist, on foot at dusk
Rookie cop, antagonist, passenger in car
Older cop, nursemaid for rookie, driver of car.

Clearly marked police car pulls up at curb.

Rookie (snapping): You! Come here!
Me (approaching car): Yes officer, how may I help you?
Rookie (still snapping): What's your name?
(I politely give my name)
Rookie (still snapping): Where do you live?
(I politely give address)
Rookie (still snapping): Where have you been?
(I politely tell him and note the older cop is glaring at the rookie, looking sterner and sterner. Rookie is oblivious as his back is to the older cop.)
Rookie (still snapping): Where're you going?
Me (still polite despite the fact that the rookie is an arrogant prick): Home.
Rookie (still snapping):Ever been in trouble with us before?
Me (furious but still polite): No.
Rookie (scornfully): Fuckin' goody-good are ya?
(Older cop's eyes bulge but he maintains silence)
Me (thoroughly had a gut-full by now): Nah, you bastards just haven't been smart enough to catch me yet.
(Rookie's eyes bulge, mouth flaps aimlessly)
(Older cop's jaw drops, changes to grin then gets serious - all in under a second)
Older cop (pointedly): I think we have detained this gentleman long enough. (To me) Good evening, sir. (Engages gears and pulls away)


I suspect the Rookie had his ears thoroughly infested with fleas once they were out of my earshot.

Good 'uns and bad 'uns.

I don't mind the police most the time - generally haven't had much problem with them and they've generally been pretty good.

Still pretty tame compared with Frosty's line, babyB.

Bahahahaha

[BNZ]

Hahaha, yeah ive had some good run-ins. Even got this guy to put on some real american-cop aviators for us! I think he stole my glasses though

[Coldkiwi]

the other way of dealing with moron cagers who want to mate with ya bikes rear end is to find some traffic and lane split away. I had a pillock right up my backside in some honda on Friday arvo heading out of the South eastern arterial after I pulled out of the Carbine Rd lights. For no reason at all, he parks himself right on my tail as we approach two lanes of stopped traffic at 70kmhr so I thought the best thing was to just slow enough to line up the gap between cars and carry on!
(oh yes and there was something about a hand gesture too, but I couldn't possibly comment! )
