A Nice Cop :-)

I was stopped tonight for speeding on the Southern Motorway near the Mt Wellington turnoff at around 10.30pm. Wasnt excessive, only 113km.

The cop I spoke to was very nice and polite and let me off with a warning on a few things. I think it was his partner that wanted stopped me and wasnt him, cos his partner was the driver. This guy gives all cops a good name and I respect him for that. I will immediately implement a few things on his advice. I know he is reading this, cos he is a biker as well.

Just wanted to say thanks and good on ya mate.

They stopped you for 113kmh?? Must be a quiet night for them.
very lucky they didn't throw you in jail and throw away the key

Good to hear. I've had a few let offs like that over the years. It's certainly appreciated.

Maybe his partner driving the car has rectal problems and couldnt see the difference between 113 and 130. But the cop I spoke to was one of us and a good guy. He let me off on a few things with a warming. A good man.

They are not all bad.

I had a 2liter van and a 1.8 liter sportscar at one stage, both manuels. And at times comming from the van to the sportscar you just kind of go with the sound of the engine and end up doing 75 in a 50k zone. On a day like that i was stopped doing 69 and got a warning. But an other time i was stopped and fined for "failing to stop for an orange light.

I would have understood a fine for the 69 ...but going trough yellow...

well, you ARE required to stop for a yellow light, as well as a red. Yes, you are.

I know... and i didn't complain. But there are degrees of strightnes IMHO. I could have stopped but all loose objects in the car would have ended up in the front. It was a border call and i guess you have to take my word for it. I was across before it turned red.

I think she (the police officer stopping me) had a dam bad day and needed a hood to take it out on. And once she stopped me her mind was made up.

Not many people in auckland can say that.............. now thats 1, 2, 3, 4 cars after its gone red. Fkn idiots.

Nice break on the warning Fart, next time though you might not be so lucky buddy, you better slow down ya lunatic

113kph is a bit excessive though, the bloody GSXR feels like its gonna to fall over at that speed.

Steve, you have a right to your opinions but that's simply not true. There are undoubtedly less arseoles in the police than the rest of the community. They have a difficult job to to and difficult guidelines to work under particularly with traffic management.

And yes, I've been done for speeding and once had to do a fairly spectacular runner. And it was my fault every time
