    Seems like feeding frenzy.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    That's (very roughly) three tickets every two days ... so much for the fine upholders of our speeding laws ... don't they know "speed kills" ... and next time one of them nuts off at me about dangerous speeds I might just ask him when was the last time s/he got a speeding ticket in a company car

    And revenue collecting on their own !!!!!

    When attending a priority job, cops often exceed the posted speed limit past speed cameras. They then have to advise comms straight afterward that the speed camera might have gone off so comms can put a note in the job.

    Those waived tickets means a three cops are caught for speeding every two days ...

    It's possible that some of those waived tickets were for speeding in the ine of duty - such as chasing cars, responding to a crime or other justified ones .. but with 1200 tickets issued in five years, that's a lot of our cops breaking the law ... very bad look when they are pinging us all the time ...

    3 cops every two days, out of 10,000 plus cops.... Looks quite low, really. 1200 in 5 years....

    Wonder what the motorbike riders figures look like..........

    Doesn't matter, motorcyclists are not upholders of the law. It's like my doctor telling me to give up smoking while he smokes himself. Funny, I've not seen a doctor that smokes in years. I guess they know that smoking kills...

    Most people know that smoking kills, educated or not. However, most educated people understand that speed by itself doesn't kill. It's like stating 'Apples Kill'. Sure, if I pour 100,000 of them over you...

    Much more important than the fines... that was the newest picture of a cop car they could find?
