ANPR vans

[avgas]

This is why you should buy an old bike. I gather they have a lot of difficulty reading old black plates.

Or one with 0's O's and 8's
1 or I's even the odd H.
Or its bent.
Or it has that new silver fern pattern on it.
Or the surround is slightly on both ends of the plate.

(fucking pips)

....ah I mean I know nothing

Also who says you need a van? There is a certain Smart car with it......... In fact it can be motorbike mounted

....shit! Ignore that I KNOW NOTHING!!!!!

[FJRider]

God I'm concerned you might actually believe the shit you are spouting there. The speed scam is NOT inforced for safety, merely money.

So ... if everybody obeyed the speed limits .. and NO money was paid in fines ... they would lower the limits more so people would break them again. OR ... would they RAISE the limits .... ???

Don't blame the cops ... they just enforce the legislation. NOT make it ....

Majority think drink drive law is a good thing & obey it.
If it ever became 0 limit, thats when it'd be comparable to the speed scam. As it stands it is fine

A majority of the drunk driver don't like it ... so it must be wrong. Just like a majority of speeders think it's OK to exceed the speed limits ...

Also - if you respray your plate with ordinary white paint with no reflective quality it makes a massive difference....

Because the 'judgement' of so many wax-heads on our roads is abysmal, our road toll shows that.

I've seen a drunk wood-louse with better judgement than a lot of road-users in NZ.

Just sayin...

Down the end of my road there is a lefthand bend with a T intersection 20m further on. Most right turning cars cut the corner at the intersection. As I am aware of this I take the bend slowly approaching the intersection. Yesterday I rounded the bend and saw a Highway Patrol car blatantly cutting the corner. When he saw me he changed his line and got most of his car back onto his side of the road. No drama, I gave him the evil eye and he smiled and waved acknowledging his error.

It shows even a highly trained profesional driver can have moments of laziness and inattention.

My point is there are no good drivers or bad drivers, just humans who all occasionly have a dumb moments.

They would lower the limits... look around it's already happening.
I don't remember blaming the cops here, but then some does lay with them. They ignore many more serious crimes (theft, child abuse, rape) so why do they inforce this scam so heavily??? endangering lives while doing so.

A majority of the drunk driver don't like it ... so it must be wrong.

Even if true that'd be a majority of a minority, still a minority... I hope for your sake your sig relates to this & you're just trollin' now

What a crock-o-shit (as usual)

I'll let you know the first time I (or for that matter, the guys I work with) ignore any of the crimes you mentioned...

coming from The Police gangs finest troll, that don't mean alot... But here some ignored child abuse cases to start.

Something that might be worth noting tho, is my experience is with the corrupt North Island, South Island still appears to have some justice left in it.

.

Hmmmm..."The Police in 2008 also conducted a review which found widespread failings including poor case management and workload management, poor supervision, and a lack of accountability and responsibility."

Not what I would instantly catagorise as 'ignoring'

But maybe four years in '08 it was??

They've lowered the speed limits in a few places around here in Paradise ... but only seems to be in places where lots of people seem to crash. Into other vehicles ... or ... run off the road, and do great harm to themselves ... (or to others ... including bikers ... lately). And (the new PC crime) damage the environment.

Never underestimate the enthusiasm of some of those that are paid to enforce the rules. Don't break the rules ... you take a risk and they will too ....

And how far over the speed limits (anywhere) do you need to travel ... before you start endangering lives ... ??? I'm obviously out of touch on this ...

Even if true that'd be a majority of a minority, still a minority... I hope for your sake your sig relates to this & you're just trollin' now

Is there a difference (in principle) between everyone speeding thinking its ok, and everyone that drinks and drives thinking it's ok ... ??? Or is it just a numbers thing .. ?? the more that think is ok ... makes it more ok'er ... ??

[huff3r]

How many of the fatalities and injuries occuring on our roads occured at below the speed limit? Fuck all.

So the speed limits should be followed then, and the cops are right that speed kills? That seems to be what you are implying...

More people die on the (straight) roads of the Canterbury Plains ... than the Lindis pass. Same speed limits in both areas too ... Why/How would/could that be .. ???

[Berries]

Depression?

I'd top myself if I lived in Canterbury.

[rastuscat]

.................so why do they inforce this scam so heavily???

Coz there's a Police division called the Road Policing Branch. They do road policing. Fancy that.

There's also a Police Photography Section. They do photography. And a Youth Aid Section. They work with youth offenders.

Funny ol' thing, the names they use for various branches. Spooky really.

Speed limit is far too high for the straight roads no doubt.

But seriously... it's boredom, leading to inattention, coupled with being a southie.

I'm implying that speeds are reduced in high accident areas whether speed is the cause of accidents or not.

The country's most dangerous road has had it's speed whittled down to 60k over several years and several fatal accidents in spite of the fact that all of them have occured significantly over the existing limit. If people are killing themselves at 140k in an 80k area what the fuck's the point of reducing it to 60k?
