Auckland car drivers, a lone breed?

Very frustrating but these guys are trying to drive with the same attitude they would in a car...if they were trained correctly they'd cruise along and not sweat the lights. The Police should focus on this behaviour more than cruising for easy prey in the 100 zones.
Oh thats right, its not about revenue its about changing the public's attitude to speeding so as to reduce the road toll.

Joe public is sick of being pulled over for exactly that, yes! Fucking pedantic speed enforcement when far worse traffic offences go un punished...I'm not biting any more about speed laws as ther far too bigger greay area where opinions and facts get too complicated for this thread.

The public sees the targeting of regular people exceeding the legal limit by so few km/h as being easy money and the focus of road policing.

EG: big, long, wide, flat straights...cop behind two cars travelling at about 96 cause the one in front is too scared to get too near 104 or whatever cause the cop will book him...drives with his eyes on th speedo unless cruise control is used. Guy behind is tailgating and too scared to pass cause he will be booked.
Tailgating is an offence that, if booked carries 15 demerits and a fine. Yet no booking.
I see this every bloody day up and down SH2 and 27. Its very well patrolled due to many crashes and many,many dumb drivers making poor choices but rarely was the speed the factor, just the poor choice of when/where to overtake.
Its the tailgating that fuels road rage and excerbates poor behaviour on the roads as much or more than anything else.

Why can your comrades not see that?

Glad im not living on your planet.

Admittedly at the arse end but same planet. Same fucked up country too. Just a different Island.

The world I live in aint fucked up, just a lot of the people in it. I consider myself joe public and I dont get all bent out of shape about so called revenue gathering, if your gonna get a ticket for 3 kmh over the limit then your probably going to be one of those fuckwits you see on tv ranting and raving about the injustice of it all, suck it up faggots, jeezuz there are some whiney little fuckers on here. find something worthwhile to put your energy into for gods sake.

Easy solution,
Put the max open road speed limit back to where it was , 50mph, (or 80kph) give a 10k over the limit speed allowance, problem solved, nothing changes.

Yes, and it is fucking awesome.

Way better than been stuck on a planet with a bunch of whiney little babys, crying over maybe getting a ticket for doing 3 ks over the limit

If a cop is gonna give you a ticket for 3ks over, either he is having a really bad day, or your a complete tosser who is full of piss and vinegar. Shame they dont give out tickets for being a fuckwit, they would make a killing on here.

That's why I always go at least 20 over as if i'm going to get ticket I'll make worth my while.
