Down here it is mainly 'passin on yellow lines' and 'weaving all over the road' 'cut me off while overtaking into oncomming traffic' kind of stuff, speeding stuff they just say 'he was flying'.

Not all get tickets but the fact they have been spoken to gives them a rattle-up.

Had one such call from a truckie said he got to the end of the passing lane leading into a blind bend THEN the 4x4 (sorry Motu) with trailer pulled out and passed his truck'n'trailer load of wheat.

Driver of 4X4 said to me "well he put his foot down just when I started to pass him" WTF 40 tons of wheat AND already off the passing lane and he says that???
There was another witness who knew neither party so I tended to believe the truckie.

But did you book the sucker?

I left the penalty up to the judge!

Not like me to take this view point but we did a trip from Napier to Hamilton and home again in the car on Sunday and I can only praise the way the traffic behaved. We did not see any driving incident that could have been dangerous. It was wet most of the way and honestly it was a great safe trip. Only saw one cop on the road. Picking on cars on a long straight North of Taupo and one red van with the dark windows along the plains south east of Taupo. Click click.

Did you use the escort in the car? Was a busy weekend for central cops as it was ohakune mardi gras. Radar picked up 4 cops between Waioru and Ohakune on fri evening.

Of course. Could not drive with out it now. Just gives me a piece of mind and it is good to see what they actually drive.

It's one of those conumbrums(sp).

Everybody is behaving so why have the cops out there?

or

The cops have been out there so everybody is behaving themselves.

Yep that is a fair comment..

Only those into tax avoidance.

Might be a shorter thread if you ask who doesn't. Who wants to donate extra taxes to the gubbermint?

I'm even considering it on my 250...

I would think more do than not. Would be hard to keep your licence with out one. My 96 Gixxer is getting older now but as I told Mr Plod last time I got a ticket " what? am I suppose to stay in first gear?"
Answer " I know what you mean but that's life"
When a bike will do 125 in first and it is a six speed box I think you are going to go a tad fast from time to time. I wish I had purchased mine a few years earlier.
