Got a damn speeding ticket

[Dave Lobster]

was he in a light brown hyundai? that officer works SH16 hard...like a frikken terrier whipping and down that road after bikes

My 28 days of walking everywhere are down to 8 today, because of him.

[Hinny]

A Grey Nissan

Not a bad bloke, apart from the ticket

Officer ACD868

868
The new number of the beast.

So he ain't n00b then.

[Hinny]

He's been winding up drongos here for too long.

Soooo...nothing YOU did contributed to this state of affairs huh?

Ah well, it IS the 21st century - where it's always 'somebody elses' fault.

Yes, that's him.

Not at all.. I've never denied speeding.

I will be going to court to see what evidence he has that I was speeding though. I'm pretty good at court

[scumdog]

Yes, that's him.

So in effect you handed him your licence?

Why say he was responsible for your predicament?

Oh, and good luck in Court, keep us posted how it went.

[Dave Lobster]

Why say he was responsible for your predicament?

Because a good bloke wouldn't have even pulled us over to start with. We weren't hooning round corners dragging knees, or popping wheelies, overtaking cars ten or twelve at a time, riding at the limit of the road/motorcycle..

Having met quite a lot of policemen that ARE good blokes in the course of my job, it seems all the ones I meet when I'm not at work are grade A cocks that think their mission to nick people 'speeding' is the be all and end all of police work.

But...but.. you WERE speeding eh?

The impression I get is that speeding should be allowed as long as you not not hooning, knee-draggin, popping wheelies etc.

Somebody is then going to argue you should be allowed to hoon, knee-drag, pop wheelies etc as long as you don't speed.

The law's the law - even if you don't think it's fair.

And yes, MY thoughts are that certain bits of the law IS (are?) an ass.

[Dave Lobster]

Why can't overzealous officers like the ginga one be sent to Dallington? At least their keen eye for the law could be put to use doing something useful - like catching Mellory Manning's killer..

If everbody drove sensibly, didn't break the law or crash they probably could do 'something useful'....

[YellowDog]

At a pedestrian 116kph, enjoying a nice day north of Kaukapakapa.

Despite the officer's disbelief that a scooter could go that fast, he wouldn't buy my argument that his lazer unit was doubling its reading.

...that's one less bottle of Malt in the next duty free bag...

They go heaps faster than that (the derestricted one I tried did) and if you were doing 141Kph, there goes your licence

Indeed - mine does that speed with the chamber on, although you go deaf in your right ear

No, they're too far gone for that, they'd just move up to become tax inspectors or parking wardens.

Ah well, SOMEBODY has to get the good jobs!
