Just the usual self satisfying bullshit excuses.

Bullshit excuses from whom?

Polititians?
The chief of Popo?

Surely not the honorable member of NZD you quoted??

Nah - no chance this year - it's election year and motorcyclists are still voters. That shit may come later - but really if tried good luck as it should be applied to all under 30's (stats back up speeding) overweight businessmen driving Commydoors and every truck driver on the road.

Oh and buses - I have a anti bus driver thing going on presently so add those arses to the mix.

Fucking tell me about it, one tried to kill me earlier today and fucking nearly pulled it off. Changed lanes right on top of me. Didn't indicate and didn't look. Unbelievable.

Trucks have already had the 4km tolerance for about the last 5-6 years... it just depends on the attitude of the local constabulary or the stats sheet (they have to pull x amount of vehicle types a/b/c etc per year) as to how much/often its done.

There's a bumper sticker to be had there lol

Never mind this speed tolerance, trucks will have electronic logbooks soon and once the system is in place cars and bikes will be forced to have it...

A truck 'black box' and the speed limit thing isn't working then, heaps of speeding trucks!

Guess my boss must be a decent bastard.

I get to write as many tickets as I want, for the stuff I think is important.

No quota for me. I just get to write tickets for shitty driving, and there's no shortage.

**AllanB** · 27th May 2014, 23:12

No quota - hush you - this is KB, there must be a quota without one all those KBers who post up moaning about getting tickets must be genuinely doing something wrong!

I know, it's an election year - best keep the secret safe

**rustic101** · 27th May 2014, 23:21

Don't forget lads and ladettes this coming weekend is the Queens Birthday (happy bd Liz).

So make sure you observe the posted limit as there will be no "threshold" for any class of vehicle.

All part of the top five, no warnings given!!!

Stay safe and shinny side up Team.

10 char

**The Reibz** · 2nd June 2014, 21:02

considering the fact I never obey the speed limit anyway, this won't affect me. Or 90% of the other riders I ride with. 140 is the new 80

**unstuck** · 3rd June 2014, 06:45

The 4kmh tolerance sure did it's job this weekend in keeping the road toll down.

If you could have a crack at the red light runners down here that would be just lovely
