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)

Wont worry me,I always travel at 98kph on the highway, open road, blind corners, crash scenes, rural schools, roadworks, wandering stock, heavy traffic, intersections, cow crossings. Completely legal
At 98k's, I can pass all those cautionary speed advisory signs without having to slow down to read them.

The flaw in this practice ...How many others just travel at 109 km/h (or 104 when required) all the time due to the known tolerance?

ANY tolerance given (expected) is totally at the DESCRETION of the officer that "finds" you exceeding the posted speed limit. This can happen if you are even just ONE km/hr over the limit.
Each Officer has a different perspective/opinion on what is dangerous/acceptable ... at the time. My advice ... is to look at it like a lottery ... are you feeling lucky ... ???

UNDER the limit is not always "legal" ... if an Officer deems it dangerous ... a ticket is issued ...Wont worry me,

Then it's ... "tell it to the judge" ...

I personally think that cops should look the other way if someone is speeding on a long, straight road in good conditions with a well maintained vehicle if the rider/driver is quite experienced at operating that type of vehicle as long as the road is pretty much deserted. After all, if I'm doing 200kmh on a deserted countryside road, who else am I going to harm? I could fuck myself up, but then again, I could get drunk and go downhill mountain biking (which is completely legal) and fuck myself up just as bad. Or I could go paragliding or hang gliding, that could kill me as well.

How does the cop assess whether the rider/driver is experienced?

No speedo is that accurate for a start... most radars can be out a couple of kph out as well even if it has been properly calibrated... and no human can keep a constant speed through hills and corners, including bumps and humps in the road, all vehicles speed up and slow down on these, and it is up to the driver to re-adjust , hence there has to be a tolorance... the trick for all is finding something that is acceptable to all
The average speedo is reading higher than what you actual speed is anyway, ie- speedo reading 100kph you will find you are most likely only doing 95kph...
Another thing for all those people that have changed their tyres profile and gearing and even some that changed wheels on there bike can all effect the speedo read out on many bikes.....

Interresting thought re LAM's bikes. Since there will now be selected 650cc motorcycles avaliable for the learners, how will that affect the ACC levies as far as cc rating is concerned. Wouldn't it make sense that if the government finally recognised that cc rating has nothing to do with safety , and finally restricted learners to power (so they can't buy RGV, NSR etc and kill them selves) you would think that the whole ACC levy bs based on cc rating will be either altered or scrapped all together. Otherwise they are contradicting them selves by saying, yes it is safe for you to buy a particular learner approved 650cc motorcycle to learn on, but at the same time charge you highest ACC rate because you are more likely to hurt your self more on that larger capacity bike.

It's pretty easy to tell if someone can drive or ride properly.

Then you will get a $30 ticket, as I did on the last reduced tolerance for 105 (speed camera)
5 kmph and above will be ticketed
