Speed tolerance reduced for December and January

[Angel_of_Metal]

It's illegal, it's all wrapped up in red tape, land ownership, etc etc

it's real odd the first time you pass a cop and they don't do anything about it.

What's weirder is that they'll all admit to it's existence and their lack of jurisdiction on it, I guess no one has ever bothered to ask them?

Huh. Looks like I'm coming down to Chch for a visit then!

There's 2 south of Auckland, though I haven't seen them or tested them myself.

Nope, no trickery either.

You're not from chch so I can't tell you, but I'm told there's a few of these spots in NZ.

umm interesting. I got the information I wanted, thanks. Whilst this is what I suspected but I can't think of why the wouldn't have jurisdiction unless it is private land, including Maori land I guess.

Ruapuna in Chch, Hampton Downs and Pukekohe in Akld.

I knew you'd ruin the fun.

You or one of the other cunts.

Cunts? Is that you Reibz?

[cheshirecat]

Yeah, that'll work. A whole pile of uniformed cops out filling potholes on the state highways.

Your management people could do it instead of inventing more paperwork for you.

Boss has been in Europe for 6 months... says the NZ cops are some of the strictest he's experienced.

Yup. In most civilized countries cops won't bother ya unless you're driving dangerously e.g. changing lanes suddenly etc.

You'd think the only road issues in NZ are speeders and drunk-drivers. Pretty sure there are more common issues, like shitty drivers looking at their speedo all the time.

In fact, Professor Mike Regan of the University of New South Wales and a 20 year veteran of studies into Transportation Human Factors, believes inattention is the biggest contributing factor in crashes but speed is often wrongly coded as the causal factor.

Okay, so inattention is the greatest causal factor.

So, when those inattentive people crash, is it better for them to be going faster or slower?

The cause matters, but beyond that, the outcome is heavily influenced by the energy imparted at impact.

Just a fact. Sorry for being so dull.

If everyone drove at 95 for a month and no tickets were issued they would make the limit 80 again like it used to be.
The reward for a reduction in speed related tax is a higher tax rate or a lower allowance before being taxed.

[Akzle]

well. That was 5 pages of same ole same ole, and shit.
1-dont complain about 'the rules', citizen.
2-fuck the rules.
3-i petted my goat today. I like my goat.

doesnt fuking matter, actually. 80% of fatalaties happen below the speed limit. (im statistically safer speeding)

your turn.

I must say tho; with public confidence & respect in cops at an all time low, what better way to boost public perception than to further piss people off.
