Police traffic enforcement inconsistency?

[thepom]

last year on public holiday my valentine went off eleven times between dunners and queenstown...safety my fucking arse....it was all about money and still is.....people are slowing down so revenue is down so they drop the speed tolerance to five kmph....kaching !.... slightly bitter as was clocked by plod and camera crew doing 138 just after newyear......smarty copper said another two kph and I would have been walking ....smarty arse me says well I was,nt and I,m not ! ......then ate beans for two month,s to pay the fine......sick of beans I was ha ha

Yes, because that will certainly make him see the stop sign next time. Can't think why New Zealanders do it all the time what with our rigorous driver training.

I would question his general ability to concentrate on the job at hand of keeping the car on the road given his track record.
Maybe coming from a country with good public transport can limit a tourists experience behind the wheel.

Probably one of the worst stretches of road to speed on, between Milton and Qtown. Some crafty buggers patrolling that stretch.

Well he failed to lock me up the last few times I was down that way.

It's a fucking nice piece of road though, local filf pursuit capabilities notwithstanding.

Actually that is a good loop up to Beaumont and back down to Clydevale.

which is a shame since there are some great stretches of road that are just begging to be ridden in a spirited fashion!.
At least very few of them bother you along the crown range though

Now why did I always turn right just before Lawrence? That Rongahere rd looks at least as good.

Funny rounded quartz stones in the road mix?

Turn off at millers flat sometime, and have a fang up to Roxburgh on the other side of the river. Thats a nice wee stretch.

Actually a pretty good surface down that side, is a great bit of road though. Shame DOC have let all the rest areas down there go, there were some good spots for a break along there years ago.

Did you ever see any donut shops between te anau and milford, the poor buggers would starve to death out there.
Life's not fair, get over it...

There are no quota's.....
Cops are only there to protect us from ourselves....
if you get a ticket you have to
Take it like a man,
Tell everybody how nice the copper was to deal with
be proud of the fact you dont whinge about it.....

One thought about the Milford Road. Unless you work on it or in Milford Sound then you are a tourist, wherever you come from.
