    Just clarifying.

And then when those same lackadaisical drivers are let loose at higher speed, all those bad habits they are permitted make them a big risk... so all-too late everybody's speed is restricted in a lame attempt to reduce the carnage. Fix the problem at source, don't try to mask the symptoms!
    well i have to agree about bad habits,
    let me recount one observed today. 11.30am on my way to work (clock on the bike for time) Hutt Valley Moronway, Heading towards Wellington.

    I was in the fast lane at 108-110kph just drawing level with the rear of a car in the 'slow lane' about .5km before the Ngauranga gorge turn off. YUP, you guessed it, joe fuckwit on a blue/white GSX 600/750/1000?? decides to 'undertake' me and effectively lane split doing a good 30 kph faster than me, then with no indicator swoops across in front of said car and takes the Ngauranga exit.
    best of all? there was bugger all traffic behind the said 'slow lane' vehicle....

    And your evidence to support this is where?

    fucking hell, the filthy dirty donut munching coppers got me this morning , I was only 14km over the limit and I'm a good driver, far better than most of the peasants on the road, why don't they go and do some real police work and catch some proper criminals blah blah blah

    It was only a couple of weeks until I would have been back to zero demerits to

    Pointless thread, not everyone at this point in time can afford rego, wof, and put food on the table for the family which must come first.

    To be able to afford a flash phone that does everything, you have not had to suffer hardship at this time, you have no idea how some families have to survive.

    I suggest you take your smart phone and shove it where the sun dont shine, even though its "your mates"

    That is why the parasite is sitting on the side of the road checking bikers' tax status.
    Another take on that is that the Popo is sitting there checking bikers' attitude status...........

    No, here's the process.

    The Popo gets the PDA to run a check, either manually, or by using the PDA to scan the barcode on the licence label, or drivers licence. The PDA then returns information. Licence expired, reg expired, oF expired, disqualifified driver, arrest warrants etc. The Popo then decides what to do with that information, then uses the PDA to print a ticket if that is the decision. Arrest, if warrants exist.

    The PDA doesn't actually make a decision, like a speed camera does. It just presents info, then lets the Popo do with it what he/she will.

    Donuts.
