I was coming home from Mystery Creek, after setting up for Parachute on thursday, just about at Pokeno and saw an officer coming the other way, buttoned off and proceeded at a more leisurely pace for about 5 mins, and thought.. hmm thought he'd come after me but obviously not... so went to grab a handful and saw the lights coming from a ways back so slowed a bit more and prepared to pull over, which I did as soon as it was obvious it was me (not the myriad of cars that were speeding around me).
He pinged me at 123.. but due to the glorious amounts of engine braking the ZRX has, it was 115 when he got a lock.
We had a bit of a chat, and he let me off with 80$ and some demerits. A bit fortunate because I had just passed a few cars before I had seen him, and was slowing down to sane speeds. Had he been a few seconds later, I would have probably only been doing 110 - which is what I usually sit at on the motorway (especially unfamiliar motorways where I do not know the common hidey holes etc).
Ironically, just before he caught up to me, I was passed by a guy in a 4x4 doing warp speeds... looks like he thought the officer was after him lol.
Anyway.. if you travelling between the tron and auckland, beware. He said that on weekdays there are usually at least 3 cars and 1 or 2 camera traps set up on that piece of road (and that would be how many I saw..)

Crafty buggers, fair cop though. I only got done for no license or rego.
