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

[HenryDorsetCase]

A fit sheila with a nice arse would suit me better though...

road safety would be compromised because you'd be looking at her bum and going. "Ive got that whole bag of walnuts to crack at home"

They can inspect your windscreen washer bottle - and ticket you for it if it's empty over there. (If you choose to drive a car)

And try owning a modified vehicle over there.

Or take over your firearms that are allowed here in NZ.

Or many other things allowed over here

Oh yes, free alright! (Tuis moment)

I wasnt lisping, thats my tongue in my cheek.

By and large I think it's a good thing for bikers .

because :

1. As noted below, that small an excess will require Officer Bumblebee to have his radar on almost constantly. Thus making Hector much more effective.

2. Stan and Mabel, on the open road usually travel at 95kph to 110 kph. Except on passing lanes where they travel at whatever is needed to not be overtaken. Stan and Mabel are very condemnatory about "speeders". Such as bikers, who usually travel at 120-130+ on the open road.

So, for us, it won't really make any difference. Risk of ticket before = risk of ticket now (less actually because of (1)) ; and penalty before = penalty now.

But Stan will continue at 105 - 110 , and get a ticket. For speeding. Which will make him livid. He will blame the cops, and we gain an ally. Mable, meanwhile will paranoidally slow down to about 85kph, to be sure that she doesn't get a ticket. Which makes her much easier to get past . On a bike. Which is good for us. For Stan, stuck behind her , in a car, it is not so good. He will be doubly livid, and blame the cops. More allies.

At present cops can portray people who break the speed limit as baby eating enemies of society. Which works so long as speed limit breakers are a small subset. But once the cops start treating Stan and Mabel in the same way, then Stan and Mabel join us. In unity is strength.

I could sit and dish out Fails to Stop at Stop Sign tickets all day and the only ones to complain would be the ticket recipients.

So, again, apart from he allocated type-quota, why don't you? It would (eventually) make intersections much safer places, and with the Stop sign leaving no room for tolerance, there could be no argument about "But I've just got new tyres and now my speedo is out by more than it was before..."

MUHAHA i like it! When you put it in this perspective!

Wellcome to the dark side "Stan" and "Mabel"

Only hope it works that way, iam worried that Stan and Mabel could be "too far in" on their brain wash cycle...that they will see it as a good thing, either way as you said there is still the Hector benefit and cops will be busy with "Stan"....

Tell ya what, Scummy - you come up here to The Tron and I'll show you one stop sign that NOBODY ever stops at...(except me of course...)

That single Stop is a quarter of what we have in Riviera of the South.(from memory we have four stop signs)

I don't think they are really going to do it, unless they feel shitty and are having a slow day. I think they would still rather "instant on" ping a dickhead, than stay active all the time, giving warning to Hector.

It's all just a load of hot air designed to subjugate the masses. The comish tells lies all the time, after all he's a politician - that's how he got the job.

Its not good or bad for bikers, It just makes the cops look like dicks.

But Stan and Mabel will still believe motorcycling is still an expensive way of sitting in a draft ...

[Katman]

More likely Stan and Mabel will think "It's those bastard bikers that have caused this".
