I caught up with a cop in a 70 zone once, cop was doing 50. Cop pulls over to let me past and what do you know I got pulled over a few minutes later. "I saw you hooning a bit back there". = WOF and rego check as well :slap:

Some positive quotes from MPs (some are a bit old now)

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/st...ectid=10342373
"People driving at 111km/h may be no more risky that at 110km/h and we don't think that the quota ticketing - that you must issue a ticket to that person - should carry on," (National MP)

and don't forget Transport Safety Minister Harry Duynhoven's comments:
"Governor-General Dame Silvia Cartwright's official driver was ticketed on the Kapiti Coast last weekend after he was caught speeding at around 130km/h while overtaking in a passing lane.... Mr Duynhoven said he was not trying to excuse or defend the driver but said: "Let's not be too prissy about this... It is something that happens every day..."

United future MP "Put the speed limit up to 115kmh between 10pm and 6am"
Auckland-based United Future MP Paul Adams lashed out at the emphasis on speed reduction as a major part of trying to reduce the national road toll.

We need more politicians like this in govt.
