Cops to apply blanket 5km tolerance to motorcyclists. Permanently?

[Tazz]

Down here in La La Land we live in reality and trade in facts.

Fact. Nobody has ever told me how many tickets to write. Still, it's only been 26 years, it might be coming.

Which boss are you speaking of? Do you know who my boss is? Or has your policy of talking through a hole in your arse held sway?

I always thought there would be a system in place where you should be pulling over so many people and handing out X amount of tickets an hour in X location because statistically there should be X amount of drivers breaking the law over that period of time? It would be a way to measure that you are not just taking a snooze behind a tree as well as measuring your performance in a way like.
Shirley they just don't give you a set of keys, point in a direction and tell you not to be too late back for tea?

You too?

My tally this year: Two tickets handed out.

One for using cell-phone, one for 68 in a 50.

So stats say 50% of my tickets are for speed.

[BoristheBiter]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the 10% leeway was to compensate for the inaccuracy of most speedo's - partly due to tire size/wear.

Yep you're wrong.
There is no 10%, it is 10km over the posted limit.
This is at the discretion of the cop that has just pulled you over.
So if even if you are doing 1kph over you still can get a ticket, just depends on what the cops feels like at that said time.

It is up to the driver to understand what speed they are doing.

Like it or lump it unfortunately.

& if you're doing 5km/h below the limit you can still get a ticket for speeding, such is the corruption prevalent in this illegally operated system.

Better media spin would be 50% are for cellphone use and the rest of your tickets were for all other observed infractions combined.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

And this would be justified if your speed was excessive or dangerous.

I would disagree; "dangerous driving" would be justified if it was excessive [for conditions] or dangerous (which are really one in the same) but "speeding" would not be.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm breaking out the world smallest violin right now.

If I had such a policy we would be colleagues...

fortunately I got principles instead....

that's why the ticket is for exceeding the speed limit not speeding.

Sweet, chuck it up on YouTube I'll take a look right after the Police ceases to be a criminal gang

You should probably learn yourself some slang since you insist on staying in this country, & if you're gonna get that anal about it last I checked it was "exceeding the posted speed limit". Either way it's completely irrelevant & maybee you'd like to advise us on the price of fish next; chocolate if you can.

[Akzle]

"exceeding the posted speed limit".

ahh, but a notice posted stands as fact at law until refuted....

You can also be ticketed for an "excessive display of speed" without breaking the speed limit.

And excessive acceleration without breaking traction.
