Speed tolerance reduced for December and January

[James Deuce]

Just set the flashing light on the car dash to 104 km/hr and am in the process of a buying motorcycle that can only do 98 km/hr. There's a solution to anything. Technically, alcohol IS a solution.

[caspernz]

It's really easy for the management to make a media statement about how we'll be rigidly enforcing the 4 kmh tolerance.

It's another issue altogether to get the troops to buy into it.

That seems to be the consensus in the areas that I frequent...

The only problem that remains is the odd stickler for the 'by the book' approach. Maybe they'll be the ones selected to drive the funny coloured HP cars

OT - but I like doing the Mascot match-ups.

Knights V Dragons, Cowboys V Redskins, Broncos V Colts etc etc.

In Aus cricket at the moment is possibly the best yet.

I give you the:

Alcohol. Think Again Western Warriors V The Queensland XXXX Gold Bulls.

The piss heads lost.

However, I read somewhere it was 15-20% of US troops didn't fire at the enemy in WW2.

Prolly the ones pealing the spuds and fixing the tanks.

Nope, in the infantry as of early 1945, that was 14%. There were 68% in combat and the remainder in HQ/admin.

That tells ya something then rtc. Mind you, they aren't then carrying out their duty as sworn members of the police force. Break out the wet bus tickets!

Heh, imagine if the armed forces worked that way? Optional shooting of the enemy...

Eh? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it worded that they issue tickets at their own discretion? And they go through training to qualify them to do so?

If you have a problem with that being the case, I think you'll find yourself on a lonely side of the fence

I've been told that only 10% of the bullets fired in the American civil war were actually aimed at anyone.

88.95684% of statistics are made up on the spot =P

Long may discretion reign. But all the reportedly low tolerance cameras lack it.

No doubt the pollies will declare the "trial" a great success (unless there is utter carnage; hopefully not) and once the cameras have been changed, what are the chances of changing them back in February? Pretty slim.

Still, the local camera seemed disinterested in pinging the stream of 60km/h traffic going past it today, unless the flash is invisible these days(?)

That's a bit rubbish. Annoyed to read that for reasons stated over the page

There's lots more cops than cameras of course so they can get more revenue from traffic stops with other offences happening.

It probably won't be long before there's a camera that can sense alcohol, drugs and not wearing seat belts etc.

Yeah nah. They are already putting that tech straight into your car. Won't start if you're over the limit. Eventually if all cars have something like that installed they'll have to retire the booze buses

Won't happen in Auckland

Lucky for you they're letting it grow out then. Always seem to hit a mower heading up and down the coast. Better than not being able to see past an intersection due to overgrowth though

Once upon a time, decades ago

Yeah nah, they're optional, too costly, don't actually stop the engine and easily defeated.

For now...

[awa355]

Actually, my biggest concern, is how do I get my scooter to within 4k of the speed limit?

[Zedder]

For now...

Well, after 30 years of development they still can't get them to work.

Got a source? Would be an interesting read.

Personally I think people not liking change is holding such things back more than that claim, but that is my own opinion. Shit even I don't completely agree with it in principle Would give people a chance to whinge about something else for a while though.

By the look of it things are a bit quiet down your way so you could probably while away the time by doing some research for yourself.

Yup. Bonus of having two screens when doing web stuff is you can distract yourself nicely.

Thought something like that might be the reply though

Well, I better head back to reality

Had enough trolling on KB for today then? Was the child porn too boring for you?

I'm more than happy to provide data for normal people, however, I don't like feeding trolls.
