    Tickets for 4km/h over the speed limit this Queens Birthday weekend

    This should be interesting.

    "Police will be out in force over the holiday period and will prosecute every driver caught more than 4km/h over the speed limit to help deter unsafe driving which puts lives at risk."

    People not concentrating on the road in front?

    Because they were too busy looking at their speedo to make sure they didn't get a ticket for drifting slightly above the speed limit?

    Because they know there will be a cop parked at the bottom of the slightly downhill bits of road where people routinely drift a bit over the limit?

    That is absolutely pathetic.
    They should be concentrating on busting people not driving/riding to the conditions, not some abitrary fucking speed limit.

    If you go fast enough then their radar guns can't get an accurate reading on your speed.

    Maybe they're just saving up money to buy the Queen a nice present.

    I have to ride from Wellington to Hawkes Bay this weekend. Ironically, now that I'll have to constantly check my speedo, I'll have less attention on the road itself.

    If you're running the stock gearing, then it'll be high, so you're fine. If you're not running the stock gearing, then that's a problem of your own making and you should fit a healer to calibrate it.

    had a mate loose his licence for that back in 1990, licence gone for 12mths due to speed estimated in excess of 180km/h. That and the fact the cops blocked the road at the of the motorway by the Peg pub to catch him
