    C***T! Watch out for cops around Wellesley & Princes St @ Auck Uni

    bloody f**ken c**t

    came to uni today, travel past queen st and went up wellesley st, was about the left turn into princes st when a cop parked on the side stopped me.

    said I didnt stop for 3 bloody seconds at the yellow line. there were no cars at the time and the yellow line was so faded you can't see shat. Fined me 150 for this BS.

    Got to watch out ... I had to take this for the team....

    ride safe

    Since when do you have to stop for three seconds?

    IIRC you just have to come to a full and stationary stop - with motorbikes, apparently you're meant to put your foot down to show this.

    I didn't know there was a time limit either. Will have to make a mental note of that.

    Both feet need to touch the ground apparantly. I know someone who failed their restricted because of this ruling.

    use the give way rules if you and another vehicle are coming towards each other and you are both at Stop signs
    not go until it is safe for you and all other traffic.
    Single or double yellow lines are marked on sealed roads to help you stop where you can best see other traffic.

    I've heard that it should be 3 seconds but I can't find anywhere that says it.

    yea it has to be 3 seconds cuz I asked the cop...and complete stop

    I have been through this place almost every week for the last 4 years.... kind of got used to it and never realised it has yellow lines and stop signs. habits eh...

    Also the way the cop parked on the side I think she is stationed there just to catch all the ppl who didnt follow these rules. Well it's gonna be a fat year for them...

    You will find that from time to time what the cops say ≠ what the law says.

    You should look into it.

    That's what I was taught when I went through my car licensing process in 2000. My flatmate was also fined $150.00 for not stopping for three seconds at a stop sign. The officer acknowledged that my mate did stop, but that he did not stay stationary for the requisite 3 seconds.

    Now I am pedantic about stopping for 3 seconds, can't afford the alternative.

    you can fail your restricted if the tester reckons its a must, the guy in palmy doesnt think its a must, actually no low saying you have to put either foot down, though its prolly a good idea

    I don't know of many riders who actually do put both feet on the ground. Even at traffic lights....... stupid rule

    Did you stop at all? That intersection is notorious for people just flying through, its not new news that they're targetting those who fail to stop...

    Stop your bitching and contest the ticket, that is assuming you came to a complete stop. You only have to write in for it to be considered. If they Area Commander, or whoever reviews it, thinks that the Officer that gave you the ticket was being unreasonable then they will have it over-turned.

    As Squiggles said, that intersection is well known for being an accident-prone spot, and I'm pretty sure they've been asked to watch it. The fucked up thing is that the straight through is a give way, but the left hand turn to merge is a stop - it really should be the other way around. I've been narrowly missed twice by people running the giveway, but haven't as yet had trouble with the people turning left from the stop sign.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Typical. Rather than education in a nice and informative way (and perhaps innovative which seems to escape the rozzers), they place some donut toting bully boy on a corner and await the first person to forget that tucked away in the road code they read 40 years ago is a point about 3 seconds wait. Luckily, the policeman's code of ethics doesnt inlude using common sense so we can't pull them up on that. I often wonder why I have taken an "us and them" viewpoint, and its examples like this that fuel such a notion. Shame really. It'd be so much better if they just got their head extracted from their arse.

    Bad luck mate.

    I believe its more of an issue with pedestrians, people dont look left just glance right and go... straight into the person crossing the road =\
