Everyone's Favourite...speeding tickets.

[RDJ]

Caught 'truly' speeding? Pay up and keep quiet.

'Falsely' accused i.e. genuinely not speeding? well - defend if you wish, but be prepared to have more aggravation than you need and still maybe lose.

And Alarumba - Careful dude, they are everyday wankers like you and me, they go to work, do what their told for their 8 hours, go home and ride bikes etc.

Yep totally agree, get over yourself.

As to the ticket, just pay up, if you go to court the only thing you will end up doing is paying an extra $130 court costs ontop of the ticket you already have. Easiest way to not get tickets that i have heard is not to speed, yeah i know it sounds stupid but try it and see.

hey, here's one to chew on...

my bike is one of three in the country bought out by Suzuki NZ a couple of years back for some show and i bought it from a dealer a few weeks back...

i got snapped by the fuzz down taupiri way doing 116kmh and i had the right to write (repitition, as my english teacher would say) in and argue it...so, i did.

my bike is in mph, and i had the dealer put a 'white line' at 60 (around 98kmh) but i argued the fact that the guy actually put it on 65, he was taller than me, so angle of sight also contributed, and the angle of the speedo did exacerbated the problem...i then admitted that i exceeded the limit, as every kiwi rider and biker does, by what i figured to be 5-odd kms, being a quiet road so early in the morning. i did not dispute the fact i was doing 116, i plainly said i wasn't aware i was doing 116. makes sense???

so why was my lengthy explanation including maths and physics turned down when a friend on four wheels got a 124kmh ticket wiped because he was overtaking???

if there are any cops on this site, i would love to hear a reason...it surely is not because my explanation was above the mentality of those in the infringment bureau, and i am sure you are spending more time on unsolved rape cases in sth auckland, and then of course, it does take time to clear porn off your desktops...

should i take this to court? love to hear views on this...

You've admitted speeding. The courts are not terribly interested in why.

My personal tactic, is to pull up the very second I see a cop make the mental decision to stop me, the INSTANT he hits his lights, the second he pulls out of his hidey hole, the moment he cracks his door. I pull up, hard, and safe, jump off, or out, sun glasses/helmet off, look him in the eye, and either take my lumps, or state my case. I have about a 70% sucess for nearly the full range of variables. I've even had patrol officers thank me for braking and stopping safely straight away, from 137kms, to talk to them. (Matamata, got off!!!) Also know that when you are wrong, and dangerous, your own mama would smack yor arse. Don't whine afterwards, book it up to experience, if you never fu*ked up like you didn't want, you'd be the rider you wanna be...... Right????

Got pulled on the way to puke on sunday. Was doing 125kph on the motorway.

Cop told me to have a good day and keep the speed down a bit.
Thankyou sir.. and I was off.

There seems to be a bit of this happening lately. A change of approach perhaps? Did he know you were an Ambo person? Most of the MOT guys never booked them and it paid off for me when I left the job and an ambo turned copper caught me and let me off.

How about taking responsibility for your actions. Its your bike and you ride it. If your instruments are not right or cant been veiwed properly - its up to you to get it fixed. If you choose to speed (and most of us do sometimes )and get caught, just pay the fine. Thats life.

THE SYSTEM IS CORUPT

[chickenfunkstar]

Don't think it would be worth your while,
Speeding is a strict liability offence, so even if your speeding was genuinly an accident and there was no negligence on your part, you'd still be guilty.

c'est la vie I guess.

[SuperDave]

so be it. just sick of paying extra when we bikers pay enuff (remember the acc levy??!!)...

But speeding fines are only compulsory if you choose for them to be

[Sensei]

The best ones are the one you don't have to pay for . Cop going back the other way as you ride on past aline of cars & on into the sun set

The higher they make the 'speeding tax', the higher the price they will have to pay to apprehend the 'tax lawbreakers'.
My nephew tried to run the chopper outa gas, coz he was on his restricted, with 2!! cases pending (16 ). Loss of car, loss of license for 2 years, whats he gonna hang round for. C*nt had 4 others in the car, chased for 2 1/2 hours, ran 3 road blocks, beat the spike mat, stopped because he missed a corner drove of a bank, into a carpark, blew a tire.
Not supporting that little F**kwit, but, when I was younger, an same shit was goin down, they weren't trying to financially cripple me, but dad would've, an that was ok, coz I'd much rather (not) pay some fine, than be beaten with a stick.
Same at school.
Failed social experiment!!!
