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

[neels]

what you need to do if driving form chur chur to timavegas is:

1. reconsider your destination; then
2. if you simply MUST go there, zip up to Amberley, turn left, go along a bit, then go down SH72/72 thru Methven Fairlie way.

its a nice enough ride.

You still end up in Timaru though.

Fair comments, although I should clarify that I never go to timaru, rather through timaru. If it was a choice between timaru or staying home sticking pins in my eyes then the pins would win every time. Unless I'm travelling for work, then I'm in the cage anyway but I'm not in a hurry, because I'm being paid for being at work.

Saw on the news that the AA are advocating spending as little time on the wrong side of the road as possible. With their test, it took 20 seconds to safely pass a slower vehicle (travelling at 90 such as a vehicle towing a trailer) when going 104km/h. That's a long time on the wrong side of the road! And the police response was that if those were the conditions, you should reconsider whether or not you should be looking to pass at all.

Try winding up a truck and trailer to pass some slow wanker , trying to keep in the 4 km tolerance, then to have said wanker put his foot down ...........to the end of the passing bay then slow down to just under 90 again lol

Cant see what all the fuss is about really,you really didnt see this coming?Long weekends in Aus attract double demerits etc which is whats next here no doubt.110s as boring as 100 so i will continue to ride around 120 on the open road and be selective as to where as i always have.The average Kiwi road user is as thick as 2 planks when it comes to where they choose to speed a little and ive no doubt the coppers often chuckle at there stupidity.Candy from a baby.

Long weekends ya just have to turn on the radio and cruise. I add on another 30-40min on a chch-dunedin run mid afternoon. The percentage of useless moron drivers doubles .

That or take the inland route 72 coming out at Winchester and go hard with minimal risk.

Steve F was a true gentleman who cared about road safety. The irony of his passing didn't escape anyone.

Old Fitz eh. I would have loved to have shown him this forum. "Scroats and arseholes the lot of them."

Put it like that and you are bang on. Don't know why I was getting worked up. Especially if the cop around the corner is already dealing with someone, which is going to be more likely if they do go through with this. Maybe it is good news ? Still, if I have a copper behind me I will be sitting at 90 from now on.

Consider for just a second that you're addressing someone able to think through the consequences of the stand they have taken without you talking to them like a 5 year old.

Why should the cop get my abuse?,Who said I would abuse them?, do you think everyone that doesn't follow your code is stupid?

Fuck we get shirty don't we? I never pointed the finger at you, or anyone in particular. And yes I think everyone else is stupid.

Fitz was a true gentleman had more class than PR will ever have. She is interested in one thing and one thing only... When Fitz spoke you listened but with interest as the message was genuine and meaningful, albeit with a smile on his face.

I wonder how many phone books were slipped into his casket I know of at least one well Yellow Pages actually!!!

are you referring to me this time?

Cause you know, I tend to think you are when you take something I have said and directly address it.

But no, Not shirty in the slightest, I did however keep myself mildly amused through a good chunk of the day, so I am moderately satisfied.

Plus I just ate 6 slices of toast, 8 biscuits, an apple and washed it down with 2 coffees.

Now to look at some porn and call it a night.

The Kustom Eagle dash mounted moving radar is accurate to ± 2km/h in stationary mode and ± 3km/h in moving mode

I haven't seen them for a loooooong time.

OK Mr.Katman...iam open minded but as BoristheBiter says iam also ignorat fuck

You too, eh? And he tells ME to get new material?

He's a fucking dumb cunt, by any yardstick.

I think he hates me because i won 3 of his arcade throphies and it ruined his overall score (i did it on purpose because i noticed he likes to be 1st)
He pretends he doesnt care but i think it made him angry, so thats why he calls me names...

Staying up all day and all night to beat some high score just to piss someone off.
How could i be angry with someone that has such a pathetic lonely life as that.
Pity is the word i would use.

I guess now 105kmh is a speeding ticket I wonder if the Police will ticket vehicles impeeding the flow of traffic. Followed a car at 80 km all along Karapiro last weekend, but when the driver got to the passing lane he/she decided 120km was a more appropriate speed.

Happened to me there the week before that too.

Just learned the twats are going to reduce the 'tolerance' for speeding from 10km/h to 4km/h. Do the stupid fuckers never learn? Funnily enough, the road toll fell incessantly for decades until they reduced the 'tolerance' from a half-way reasonable 16km/h to 10. Then it stalled. It stopped going down and even went up slightly. They really are stupid, vindictive, narrow-minded cunts. I used to respect the police, i really did. But look at them: Bullying young girls into gang rapes, covering the truth, sending a taxi for Irene Asher, fit-ups that they'll never let go, refusing breath tests, shooting innocent people, piss-poorly trained and controlled police dogs attacking innocent bystanders and toddlers, beating up people on the street, beating up people in the cells, killing bikers with mental U-turns, loads of people chased to their deaths but they 'called off the chase seconds earlier, and not bothering to investigate child abuse cases so they could put more pigs out on traffic.

4 fucking kays. They'll nick thousands more and the road toll will go UP as drivers swicth off their attention even more. Just like the last reduction - a total failure. Was it Benjamin Franklin who said "The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results'?

We should do something about this.

Shit. I thought you were talking about what cops put up with...... tarts throwing themselves at cops because of the strange uniform fascination thing, covering the truth (all crims lie out their arses), being taxis to drunken folk who can't sort out their own shit (ASHER was different, clearly - but the thousands of others who ring 111 on any given weekend weren't...) fit ups that they never let go (P.C.A?), refusing breath tests (on any given night, piss heads doing this), shooting innocent people (the one and only courier.... how many cops have been shot and killede/wounded...?) dogs attacking people (crims unregistered/untrained pit bull/mongrel bullet fodder - as for the toddler, that is news to me... but hey, it makes a good story, if it is not real......), beating up cops on the street and in the cells, killing bikers with U turns (once? fair enough....), peoiple chased to their deaths (oh yeah, thats right, its the cops fault that the arsewipe who was breaking whatever law, broke more laws in trying to flee and because he/she was such a dickwad, smeared him/herslef over the road while committing such crimes... LOL...) and not investigating child abuse cases because they were out snaking? Detectives, who investigate child abuse cases, don't even know what a ticket book looks like. Nice story, though.......

I'd like you to start with implementing the reccommendations of the IPCA regarding the Pursuit policy and the prioritisation of child abuse cases over traffic enforcement, rather than having them refuted.

I'd also like to see payment of fines actually enforced, so that boy racers who rack up thousands get to pay the consequences as well as middle NZ who is 12 Km/hr over once in a while.

I'd rather you stopped & booked every fucker that's so much as 1 mg over the alcohol limit. I'd really like it if you removed every pile of shit car that has no wof & rego from the highways, since I'm all paid up. I really like the whole centreline idea, that's good - well done. If you really get stuck for something to do you could always go do that stuff that's in those heart-warming youtube vids we've seen a bit of lately.

I think the point is that the popo can't manage to stop the zoomy boys and girls that do +20 km/h so they have decided to target the slow movers in the herd.

That's what I want you to do, but I guess you don't think any of those are sensible.

Regarding the Easter road toll, I'd be interested to know from a crash investigation point of view, just what the degree of accuracy is for estimating the speed of a crashed vehicle using physical evidence. In my naievity I imagine that there are standards and studies for this type of thing, rather than 'educated' guesswork.

Detectives deal with Child Abuse. They don't do traffic in any way, shape or form - never have, never will.

Courts do the fines enforcement. They are pretty good down these parts..... seizing cars, bikes, property all the time....

Everyone over the limit, who is stopped, is done - be it 1mg over or whatever is over - its over....

WOF and Regos - all the time. Removing them from the roads? Pink and green stickeres issued daily, but like anything, just ignored by the recipient. Mobile crushing would be a more permanent fix.

Can't manage to stop the +20?????? Yer what? How can one spin around to stop em, if we can't do more than 2km over the limit for fear of a pursuit crash......?

The reality is, that is what is being done - nothing new here at all..... Moving on.....

Degree of accuracy? Hard to tell an exact accuracy, but Newtons Laws Of Physics give a good indication of speeds based on mathematical calculations - there is screeds of books and topics out there on this.
