    4kmh tolerance for Waitangi Weekend until 29 February?

    Just heard from a reliable source that tickets will be issued by officers (and speed cameras) for 5km/h over the limit.

    Not just Waitangi weekend but for all of February.

    Don't drop below 100 seems to be the mentality.

    Alot of road users find it hard to reach 100kph.

    What would be a fair tolerance?
    Or should there be no tolerance at all?

    Yup, the speed limit round here at the mo is either 60 or 160. Annoying either way. Beware the Toyota Yaris rental car.....

    Yup. Statistically speaking, it's more dangerous to drive/ride during times when the speed tolerance has been reduced than at other times!

    NO Tolerance and increase speed limit to 110 (well 120 would be nice but you get my point)

    This moving the goal posts is bull.

    yep this tolerance really teaches you to drive at the correct speed for the conditions. I mean why should I waste brain cells on judging the correct speed when someone will post a sign - right. Operating a vehicle on public roads doesn't require thinking but deciding where I am going to get my coffee and which one I am going to have, now that requires real brain work.

    If this last long weekend is anything to go by, there was no Police at all on the roads on which we travelled on. And thats between Hamilton and Stratford and back. And I didn't exactly see many motorists obeying the 100km limit anyway.
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    How many others just travel at 109 km/h (or 104 when required) all the time due to the known tolerance?
    Thats how I roll (when im not actually speeding)

    Yup that's about me as well. Do I up the ante? yes sometimes, I admit to that. Frequently that would be the result of overtaking one or more cars on a short overtaking lane area. ( back roads aside ) What does make it 'hard' with a lot of bikes is they are nowhere near the speeds they are designed to run at, when doing 100kph. Hence one of the reasons the Zed languishes these days. I am actually hopeful that the LAM's change will see a lot of riders staying with their 'learner bikes' rather than an immediate leap to upgrade. One beneifit of the LAM's bikes I see is that they will be more 'legal speeds' friendly in their power delivery, rather than needing 6,7,8,000 plus rpm to produce 'serious' power.
