I think you mean you could out type.... you keyboard warrior, you....

No they could definitely out type me, I meant what I said.
Given the opportunity I'd be willing to prove it too, but unlike "speed" which is a complete & utter scam, "drink driving" is an actual danger to everyone so I'm not willing to just go out & do it. It would have to be setup with full legal agreement to drink driving immunity for the event & preferably a cop from each grade Bronze, Silver & Gold.

Bronze can't chase - office dwellers who don't get out often. Silvers can, until a goldie comes along.
Some are fairly average. Some are good. Some are outstanding and could outdrive you after a bottle of vodka. Some even have racing/rallying experience...

They have to run special classes to teach police recruits to read and write ... do you really think that their "risk assessment and judgement" is several orders higher than the average boy racer ?

I think the boy racer analogy isn't the best. Boy racer's aren't exactly the sharpest of tools... They sit at the bottom of the pile for brains and commonsense. Even Mrs. Asian driving her kids to school in the SUV is an order or two above these idiots...

Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

How many have to do that?

And are they NZ born recruits?
Most interested because I've never heard of it.
(Maybe it would be best to leave them furrin recruits to sink or swim re reading and writing? - a shit load of NZers are having to do just that so why should Police recruits be treated any different?)

Remember to tell them that when you need them after a burglary or when you get robbed or whatever. Their job is a tough one and you were not privvy to the facts of the pursuit. Yes they are human and they make mistakes just like you.
Weapons of Mass Acceleration
I recall how a huge percentage of the public couldn't actually write a statement properly but could merely print. On average they had grammar and spelling skills that left much to be desired. GIven that police recruits are drawn from NZ society, it would be no surprise that their language and written skills would fall below par.

Keyboard muppet more like.
God's Evil Twin
some might be able to (but remember racing/rally is much more "controlled" than road, I have some racing experience too), majority I say not. They are like the average public, A vehicle is there to get them from A to B thats it, no respect for it, no like for it, no interest in it, just a tool they use & see as a "necessity" in modern life...

I disagree, if you or I had done that the Police would be saying exactly that about us.
Life is a lesson-if I bother to listen

I reckon everybody could mate.... but how are we going to convince all them coppers to down a bottle each before we race 'em!?
Alternatively.... could you outdrive them if they were after a donut??
I love women, but I couldn't eat a whole one....
although if I were to try I know where I'd start!!

Not many would like to hear it but what Shrub says is true of many motorists and motorcylists who are normally law abiding citizens with wife and kids and a good job. They've been shafted by the "law" maybe more than once and if they stand to lose their license or vehicle they will do a runner and do so regularly.
The bigger the stick is waved the more likely this is going to happen. When they dropped the loss of licence speed down to 40 over the limit you should have seen the threads on here on people that were not going to stop if they had a choice.
Sorry... that's human nature. Most people work too hard to lose something they took time and money to get... simple really.
Oh, this isn't a troll by the way but I'm sure they will be along soon.
If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.
