Ticket for going too slow

My wife invented the word neenar.

Any unauthorised use will be referred to the highest court in the land.

Her.

So lookout.

Jeremy Clarkson has the right idea.

You should have a minimum speed as well as a maximum one on motorways, and have spikes on the steering wheel and a bomb under the seat that goes off if you hit someone. So only people who can drive, and drive at a reasonable speed would be brave enough to drive on the motorways!

Also, post snipers in certain spots to take out people driving slowly or tailgating!

[Mad-V2]

It's quite simple really people. When there is a safe place to pull over, You just flash your headlights at said slow driver and point franticly at their rear tyre. They pull over, you flip them the bird so they know they are dick heads and you carry on your merry way. Works like a charm EVERY time.
That way ya don't get coppas doing their crazy U turns and warp speeds to catch up to said slow driver, endangering everyone else on the road and copping abuse from the guy who thinks he's a safe driver. EVERYBODY WINS

[Tard]

Slow drivers, impressed by the "faster you go bigger the mess" bullshit, over the top speed camera deployment and the rest of this stupid war have come to believe that they can go as slow as they like. Furthermore, they believe that they are doing a good thing by making others slow down! They need to learn that this is illegal and they have to stop impeding other people.

Ain't this the truth
The no. of times ya finally manage to get next to/past one of these fools to observe them completely oblivious to the following:
1) Anything from 2-20 vehicles stuck behind
2) Nothing other than the vehicle immediately in front
3) Look down at their speedo every 1.5 secs to 'make sure' they're not speeding

...AND !!! 90% of the time they're driving in the right-hand lane of the motorway as a mobile block! If they want to play donut-dunker they should change ****ing jobs!

And don't forget the second vehucle in the line - often a gutless SUV towing a boat or similar, too gutless to pass the slow vehicle on front of them - and creating a scene where the third-in-line guy has now got the boat, SUV AND the front vehicle toget past.

Often if the second vehicle hung back a rerasonable amount it would give everybody else a chance to 'leap-frog' them into 2nd place - and then pass the front vehicle...ah well, NZ drivers...not idea - and don't know what a mirror is or why cars have indicators....

Then there's the five campervans ... travelling a metre apart ... at 70 kms/hr ...

Hi Y'All

Here's why so few people get tickets for going too slow.

I was going north in my neenar at about 4.30 today. Neenar? It's blue and yellow, with red/blue lights on the roof. Nuff said.

I radared a car travelling south on SH1 out of Waikuku at 70 km/h. He was coming out of the Waikuku 80 kmh area. Behind him were 11 vehicles, the drivers of 3 of them waved frantically for me to do something about the dude holding them all up.

I whipped around behind the last of the 11, then used the blues n twos to force each of the 11 aside while I went after the car still travelling at 70 kmh, now in a 100 zone.

After creating mayhem to get to him, he eventually stopped, and I got a big mouthful about how I had driven dangerously to catch and stop him, and that I should go catch some burglars or rapists. Yes, pretty much all the shite that I get most days.

After he drove off, $150 poorer, I pondered why I bother, given the criticism I get for doing it, added to the criticism I get for not doing it.

So, should we do it or not?

Harumph.

Every time you do that, I'll buy you a beer. Don't stop doing it. Take the abuse and then tell the wanker that you just earned a free beer.

Make sure you let me know when you do that so we can get the tally going.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to rastuscat again.

Keep it up man, these people are just as dangerous and cause massive frustration on the roads

Edit - Would they get demerit points for this?

Whats the big hurry?
eg you have a 90km trip to do which from go to whoa normally takes an hour.

You get held up for 15 min behind a 75km/hr slow person, then back to your 90k avg
Total trip time 62 minutes

Is the world going to stop because you arrive 2 minutes later?

Even if they held you up for the whole trip you have only had an extra 12 min to enjoy the scenery

Going to the Brass Monkey
if I cruise (Auck-Wgtn) at 90-110k I only have to stop once for gas.
120k + I have to stop twice and it actually takes longer to get to Wgtn

So being fast doesnt necessarily mean you are quick

If every commercial vehicle in the country added 2 minutes to their journey times it would hurt the economy.

But it's not actually about the speed, it's about the lack of consideration. If you don't have consideration for other road users then you should be off the road.

It's like big fat fuckers who stand in the middle of an escalator. If you actually walked up it then maybe you wouldn't be so fat, but because you choose to be a tubby fucker how about moving your fat arse to one side so I can continue my quest to not look like you and let me past. I know you'll be puffed from the exertion but you can be assured I wouldn't hold you up in the queue at the foodcourt so have some similar consideration.

well theres ya 1st prob you shouldn't be looking at the scenery, distractions are the biggest killer on the road! if you want to look do it stationary or as a passenger!

2nd how long does it take you to fill up??? are you filling a truck on standard flow fuel or something??? or do you goto self service stations & wait for an attendant???

I no longer ride a bike because its all I have , now when I go for a ride I try to enjoy it. And because I am no longer in a big rush to get anywhere, that includes checking out the scenery.
I used to ride like a bat out of hell and never saw anything.

Filling the tank might only take 5 minutes but by the time you pull into the garage, fill up, stand in a queue, scratch your ass, drink your drink, had a piss, wait for your mate who has decided to get a burger, check the weather, it can be 1/2 an hr or more before you are actually back on the highway

[scumdog]

well theres ya 1st prob...., distractions are the biggest killer on the road!

Hmmm, I thought you reckoned it was U-turning cops???
