    Actualy there should be some exceptions, eg stolen cars.

    In essence, I agree.
    I did 3 runners when I was younger. 1 in a car was successful, another other on my first bike, a Yamaha SR250 failed. And finally a successful escape on my 2nd bike, a GS650 Katana but ultimate failure when my hiding place was shared by a helpful citizen.
    I've found that pulling over and accepting the consequences without being an arse to the copper results in a far less uncomfortable near future

    Nope, I'm a father, husband and enjoy my bikes. I'd like to continue to do so.

    Nice Nietzsche quote. Doesn't have anything to do with what I said, but points for getting it in there.

    I didn't mention facts, my meaning was that you don't know what you're talking about.

    No, no, I think he's got the official economic approach to traffic enforcement exactly correct.

    It's about as appropriate as a stripper at a wiggles concert, but he's right on the money.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Bloody heaps of strippers take their kids to Wiggles concerts don't they? My understanding was that heaps of strippers are solo mums. At least, that's what my shirt says.
