This can't be possible

The police know so much better than us, shurely?

108kph?! He's crazy!!!

**Daffyd** · 8th January 2016, 18:42

A lapse in concentration? He was stupid enough to take his eyes off the speedo to see where he was going...

Seems unlikely.. that a Commisar's company car wouldn't have cruise control..

Likely he was clocked at 148 km/h.. & got a 'staff discount' of 40 odd..

"Assistant Commissioner (Traffic) Doug Fryer said it was concerning how many people thought it was OK to speed, after 7651 drivers were caught breaking the limit during a holiday road blitz."

Shouldn't he be more concerned that if 7651 drivers thought he was wrong then he probably is?

He should be rogered with some rusty fence pailing. But not for committing the crime, but for being such a sanctimonious prick.

Whoever gave him the ticket will be on points duty for the rest of his career.

"Maintaining focus on the roads at all times is critical"

Constantly monitoring your speedo is not "Maintaining focus on the roads at all times"

What a fucking hypocrite.

He may well have been responding to an emergency

We'll never know.

Hypocrite. Victoria, the centre of the local road safety universe and now their top cop gets done for speeding, from a fixed camera no less. Should get double demerits for being blind.

Time and place etc etc etc.

Right you fucking morons spouting about concentrating on the road rather than the speedo, listen up.

The LIMIT is a fixed number at any given point, you are expected to have sufficient control of your vehicle so as not to exceed it. A quick glance from time to time is all that is required to do so. If you constantly find during that glance that your speed has crept over said limit, it is expected that you lower your target speed to compensate.

On a trip lasting 1 to 2 hours (longer than most car trips), lowering your target speed 5kph to 95kph equates to a 3 to 6 minute increase in drive time. In New Zealand however, it's impossibly to drive for an hour at 100kph. So the average drops and that 5kph under 100kph equates to even less than 3 minutes.

Dumb fucks, shouldn't be on the fucking road if this is too complex anyway.

You or I may be able to achieve this but the general driving public simply doesn't have the training necessary. Even if I believed the sanctimonious crap spouted about some magic number I'd far rather the average driver was above it and concentrating on the road than below it and not.
