What does it mean when?

[Moise]

a police car lights up for a couple of seconds, then turns them off.

Today was your lucky day.

[caseye]

Today was your lucky day.

Wot Madness said, without question.

[swbarnett]

I'm sure cops are just like the rest of us - "Oh shit, I didn't mean to hit that!"

Either that or, as others have said, it was your lucky day.

[Akzle]

flew past a uc at ~160, same thing. Disco came on. Was all liek "yeah, dead to rights". Lights went off. Was all liek "sweetbix"

[Moi]

Fuse 12A blew...

Just take it as an omen... the modern version of the entrails of a dead chook...

He suddenly realised he was too late for the two for the price of one donut special at Countdown.

I mean, gotta say, you flash your lights to a driver that there is a speed camera and you get potted!
He was giving you a warning and that in itself should also be illegal...Nice cop
Let him catch you I say, brake the law pay the fine....
I get sick of people flashing lights at me...
So what, let me be caught if I am guilty of an offence.....

Maybe he slipped and found out that the 104 kph threshold wasn't in force just yet! a tad presumptuous...

It's the international LEOs signal: "Slow down Rossi"

[AllanB]

He was driving a HOLDEN - thus the lights failure so he gave up...........


Generally it is the police giving you a warning - speeding or similar but he/she is not going to chase you.

Ive had it a couple times, and my eperience is that it means
'slow down cunt, cos i cant be fucked writing a ticket right now.

god bless 'em!

I was leaned over exiting a corner maybe a little in excess of 109 km/h. Backed off as soon as I saw him - I suspect he knew I was speeding, but couldn't get a lock. There was a gaggle (?) of sportsbikes about 1 km in front of him, so maybe he was keeping tabs on them. Who knows?

I hate the tourist season though - cop cars appear on roads where they haven't been since last summer, and you spend half your time passing cars whose drivers appear blissfully unaware that someone might want to ride faster than the posted speeds on corners. Then there are the boaties with turbo diesel utes who manage to use all of their side of the road plus half of yours.

Ah, but it will soon be time my annual pilgrimage to the Far North. The roads may not be as good as Coromandel but there's way less traffic.

Sorry, rant over for now ...

The waipoua forest road is in excellent condition at the moment, done it a few times lately and twin bridges road is in good nick if you are heading north on it. Plus the old russell road is always good for a giggle, again, because of logging trucks it is better northwards.

[Moise]

Thanks for that. I haven't done the Waipoua road for a couple of years. Should be fun on the R1.
