    Ticketed $150 for following too close on the harbour bridge

    speed assessed as 70-74kmh and not within 28 metres of the vehicle in front.
    are they having a laugh?

    So that was you...? Was wondering why a car was pulled over when everyone was going so slow, figured it couldn't be for speeding!

    I would be impressed if they picked off more genuinely dangerous tailgaiters.

    Problem with Auckland traffic though, as soon as you leave a safe 2 second distance, some knob-muncher fills it with his fat arse.

    We are dammed if we do follow close and dammed if we dont.2 seconds

    Maybe you wouldn't have been so close to the car in front if some tosser wasn't pushing up your arse forcing you closer to the car in front.

    Yesterday I had a cop car follow me from SH16 and up SH1 over the Harbour Bridge. He was sitting right behind me throught the 70kph and 80kph limits. I have 75 points on my licence and caould really do without this childish shit. Fortunately he turned off at Stafford Park.

    I am amazed that the Police are so over resourced that they can fill the roads with cop cars to harrass road users in this way. It's like an Eastern block Police state.

    Did you get any demerits?

    You should have Citizen's Arrested him for inciting hatred against The Police

    There are a lot of good cops out there who may suffer as a result of such idiotic behaviour.

    Wow - that's wicked alright. I bet you felt awesome...you know, like you really put the guy in his place.

    I bet you couldn't wait to share that on here so other people can see how awesome you are as well.

    Learn basic maintenance as motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking in

    That really sucks! And seriously on a Saturday on the Harbour Bridge when it is that busy....
    Perhaps it's all part of an ill disguised campaign to ticket motorcyclists and then use the issue of those tickets in statistics to justify to the public how dangerous we are?
