Returning from Rotten Rua to Dorkland last night, 10pmish, got to Pateatonga, had had a good 105 cruise controlled trip so far passed maybe 10 cars in either direction until then.
Caught up to a group of 5 vehicles ahead. One directly in front of me was a Police patrol car(Marked)
The 4 in front of the Police car were all newish vehicles, they were traveling at an average speed of 60 K's ( I said average speed, sometimes as low as 35 kph and other times as HIGH as 85ish)
I switched off the cruise control and pulled back from the patrol car so as to allow them room to deal with the fucktards ahead.
Well, seems the Police officer driving that car was quite happy to travel on 100KPH open roads at the speed of the lowest common denominator, the fuckwit in the front car averaging 60 kph.
Even the wife sitting beside me was getting pissed with them all!.
After traveling behind this circus for some ten K's I closed up to within about 60 m's of the Police car and turned on my hazard lights, long enough that I know they'd seen them.
I don't know, just thought they might get the idea that the mounting number of cars who'd caught up with them and the slow cars in front might have triggered some instinct in them to do the appropriate thing and get the dangerously slow, totally incompetent, (breaking for almost every corner, where it was totally unnecessary to do so) incapable drivers in front of them off the road before one of them overexerted their capabilities and crashed.
Butt No, they stayed behind this joke of an open road convoy for yet another 10 odd K's.
Made no attempt to call proceedings to a halt and allow the traffic to return to semi normal road speeds.
Could not believe that this Police officer allowed this to continue for so long.
They turned off finally and the whole four offending vehicles continued to travel at the same pace.
I waited for the passing lane and overtook the lot of em ( on the horn the whole way past all four of em, as were the people following me) never once having to exceed the posted speed limit, you know the "safer speed area" or even having to use the approaching double yellows.
Set the CC and continued on home.
The joke was that the last one I passed a small hatch thing, speeded up to my speed and tailed me for about 1 K, so close that I could not see their headlights in my rear view.
Left them there, did not hit the brakes or anything else, they must have realised they were traveling at nearly the sound barrier ( 100kph) and pulled back to their safer speed of approx 60kph.
It is my personal opinion that the Police officer should have recognised this situation for what it was and done something about it, they didn't, this is what upsets me and many others who like me drive/ride everyday and see these wankers in their new shiny little toys driving at their safe speed.
They! do cause other drivers to do stupid shit and most often they never even see it happening because it happens behind them and they patently don't look in that funny thing on the windscreen.
If people can't or won't travel at a legal and safe speed on open roads they should be removed from them asap.
This is becoming a much bigger problem and the Police themselves have publicly stated that these sort of drivers are dangerous in the extreme and when recognised they'd be pulled over ticketed and if necessary removed from the roads.
WHEN ffs.
