Silly 5-0, $400 to $100 and lucky girl

**avgas** · 9th March 2010, 08:06

Ok WTF people.
I go away for 1 day. And still no titties.
Ladies - I will give 1 green rep to the first person who puts there titties up.
Its not a girl fight without titties.

That's so true re numbers being way more important than months. I cancelled my car's registration after owning my bike for 3 weeks and travel on my bike every single day; have done more kms than most people I know who have owned bikes 2 years+

Is there still that loophole where you take a sneaky trip to Raro, get your full Raro licence for $15 after 10 minutes, then transfer it to a full NZ licence when you get home? Not that I would ever do that, but understand why some people who have ridden motor-x bikes since they were kids would take advantage.

Who is this Deano character? They sound awesome.

Anyway, turns out the penalty's been decreased to $100. There's prob been heaps of threads about this, but I didn't know and that cop didn't know (thankfully, or he would have hit me with all 3 offences I imagine - lucky).

Well thats good news about getting it reduced . Just remember it is unwise to attract the attention of mr plod by speeding when you are potentialy breaking the law in other ways too. Slow down a little.

So true , agreed . It's going to be carnage when they change the stupid left turn rule so take care everyone .

Are you a fat pasty white 50 year old male trolling the internet pretending to be a female with attitude?

proseuche, I can see why you would want to drive normal speed on motorways etc and not wear the L Plate, I did quite a few k's on my learners and very few with an L Plate on. But personally I did not draw attention to myself by going over the normal speed limit (so didn't actually get any tickets) and I sure as hell wouldn't complain here if I got a ticket for breaking the law. Perhaps the solution to avoiding most fines is to go get your restricted?

(when I went for my learners I had had my full car licence for 6 years plus had 6 years of motorcycle experience on dirt bikes, something the licence system doesn't compensate for, though I am happy I had a lot of road time on a small road bike before going to a big one as the weight takes a lot of getting used to)

jarasti - damn it, am I that transparent?

macguyver - I do have my restricted now and should have had it at the time. That's exactly why the whole situation was so irritating and why I started this whole rant.

I had booked in my restricted test for the day before I got the ticket (exactly 6 months after I got my learners). I was anticipating having my restricted, so made an appointment for work to travel to Tokoroa the next day (ticket day). Turned up to AA to take the test. But LTNZ's new internet booking system had mucked up the date, meaning they wouldn't test me because I wasn't on their booking sheet. Had to rebook (for free - it was their mistake) for the next week, leaving me on my learners for a big f*ck off ride, and I had to go down to Tokoru and back in 1 day. I wasn't doing 121 to keep up with traffic, I was doing 121 because I had a bloody sore ass and was excited about getting home. I'd probably still be doing the trip if I stuck to the 70.

Anyway, if you're going to insult me, go for it I'm a big girl, but get your facts straight first. I wasn't complaining about being ticketed. I was speeding on my learners without an L plate and I got a couple of tickets, big deal. I was complaining about the silly cop not knowing it was a $100 ticket and not a $400 ticket, and attempting to bring that to the attention of other learner bikers who might find themselves in a similar situation so that they don't get shafted like I nearly did.

If you find suggestions in this thread insulting then I am not quite sure how you will survive the internet.

Maybe at the least stick to 100kmh rather than 120 or 121 as since 121 is breaking the law for everyone, you know you will get the attention of the fuzz. And speeding at that rate is probably only saving you 5 mins for every hour, assuming average open road driving where you can't do 120 or even 100 constantly.

As long as you are clear on that, I guess that is acceptable.

as long as I have your acceptance, I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Tokoroa and back in a day is a big fuck off ride? Shit, learn something new every day.

I've since heard of 3 separate instances excluding this one where cops not knowing about the decrease have issued i.n's for $400, and payment has gone through smoothly with no voluntary cancellation or refund. They also haven't increased my demerits (I only got 25 when should have got 35).

So, that's all smack talk.

p.s. i bet you're ugly

I bet you have got the 35 demerits you would have earned on this ticket...... if it has been paid yet......

and I have two things for you mermaid: 1. it's "being" not "been" - how can you expect people to take any notice of what you have to say if you don't have basic spelling and grammar? and (2) haHAhahahahAHHAhahaaaaaaaaa what a naive comment. you think they trawl through the system looking for their errors? or have the foresight, time or resourc
es to put any sort of checking system in place to identify each time some
one overpays? Their own website still states it's a $400 fine with 25 demerits. you must have been joking, because that comment was absolutely classic.

Basic spelling and grammar....???? Spelling seems fine.... Try captials after full stops for your own grammar....
