4 km/hr tolerance level in place on the Kaimais over winter

[Old Steve]

There is a not widely publicised 4 km/hr tolerance level in place on the Kaimais over winter.

Watch out!!!

Countless lives will be saved. Just like they were at Labour Weekend.

Oh, wait...

[sil3nt]

Watch out for?

Thanks for the heads up.

May as well just put fucking GPS speed-triggered immobilizers on our cars/bikes so the constables can just mosey on over and ticket us, then we can keep going.
4km/h, really?

Indeed...most seem to be aware down here. Despite what some may think, the Police aren't 'targeting' motorcyclists in this operation. They're spreading the love equally

Oh...heads up, it isn't just the Kaimais

Last weekend's ride I saw 4 patrol cars and a camera van on the Kaimais.

I wonder how many people were breathalysed after leaving the oko pub?

Labour weekend did not happen so it will not be mentioned again

I think the Police "tolerance" level on a lot of things will drop ... in all areas ...

Yes, the gradual clamping down on anyone who isn't an entirely mindless and obedient lemming continues under the false pretence of safety. That leaves me no choice but to become more of an outlaw. It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

The real problem is that so many drivers are incompetent to drive at the speed limit let alone over it. The Police see so much more than we do of the results of incompetence that they resort to draconian measures in desperation.

They are out there daily and see the same as we do, but unlike us they actually have to deal with it personally. We can toot and swear and carry on smug in our competence and mentally asserting our superiority. They get to pull these idiots over and listen to their incompetence straight from their own mouths!

If so many drivers and bikers weren't killing and maiming themselves maybe the attitude would be different, but how does Mr. Policeman know you are one of the competent drivers/riders who can safely exceed the speed limit?

Still cost the same if ya get pinged at 120...

What a load of crap. In the town I live in, population 60k, you can do 55 in a 45 and 70 in a 55 (mph) and the popo don't bat an eyelid. The roads and conditions are much the same as in NZ. On the interstate, in some states the limit is 80 and if you are in the fast lane doing less than 85 you get run off the road. Other states have an interstate limit of 70 and 85 is perfectally OK as long as you are not driving like a dick.
