NSW Police operation to entrap and incite motorists 15-16 Sept and 22-23 Sept?

[nzspokes]

Hey there 'Jack'. We were travelling at 100kph in a 100k zone on a very straight road. we were slowed to 80kph and sat at that speed for most of a kilometer by a vehicle travelling at what would be considered to be an inconsiderate speed on an open road, driver should of moved to the left of the road... Had he moved to the left we would of carried on our way at 100kph. No the prick wanted us to pass, hence his speed of 80kph. Weather fine, conditions of road excellent,road very straight, traffic very light almost nil, road carried 100kph sign. It was entrapment. This vehicle was seen driving the same road most of the afternoon at the same speed.

And get this right 'Jack' this is not about "looking for someone else to blame" there was no need. The first paragraph of your post tells the story for us all. Read my post slowly now and yee shall find the answers to your other questions.. It is not that hard just 'SLOW your brain down' and read the post slowly. Yes, yes, I know for some that would be hard to do but try !

Maybe if you hadnt pinned it to get past you would not have got a ticket. 20kph faster would have done it.

Interesting concept, communication. It's not communication unless it's received and understood.

Nowhere in your complaint post did you say that the car holding you up by doing 80 was a Police car. That certainly does place a different aspect on the matter.

Still don't agree with you though. Your call to do 112. I think it was a bit harsh, giving you the ticket, but I wasn't there, so I don't know the full facts. Real easy to post complaints on here without telling the whole story.

Ticket arrived in mail couple of months back. Speed 112kph at Netherton. Remember it well,only car on the road in that area on that weekend. Car was pootling along at 80kph we followed (wife pillion) for around a k, it was when we went passed we were done for again, 112kph WOW ! cost $80. Yep entrapment at it's best also.

Just don't get so much of this.

If a ticket arrives in the post, it was a camera ticket, unless the cop stopped you and identified who the driver was. If it was a camera ticket, the issuing officer was parked up.

The car you were following, was it a police car? Did the guy/girl stop you?

Done for again? Again? How many tickets did you get?

Communication, wonderful skill, if it's used properly.

Still, never let the facts stand in the way of a good whinge.

So..lemme get this right: your options were to travel at 80kph for a km or so - or travel at over 100kph to get past this slower vehicle?

And you chose the latter knowing it was a cop car you were passing?

Hmm, dunno if I would have done so - those cops can be right ornery ya know...




Another option would have been to *555 his ass I suppose.

Your forgetting option C
Pass it doing 100. 20kph is enough speed difference to pass a car.
