    My V1 picked him quite late, with the reduced signal they put out these days.

    Also watch Hw 57 ,Lasers switching off and on Nth of Levin.V1 gets them from up to 2kms
    Maybe we should start a thread?

    There was a police checkpoint FB page, but I'm not sure if it's still going. I found out about it when the police put out a statement saying how irresponsible it was. I think the page likes went through the roof after that!

    The switching off and on is called 'instant on' I am told, but yeah bit late posting days after huh ?
    Personally using the V1 is mainly for identifying 'hazards' when overtaking lol.
    Getting up it can see you doing 140 in seconds. Which is go to jail don't collect $200 territory.

    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Yeah, that's the main reason I run one in the car. I don't use it on the bike as I just cruise on infested roads, and have most of my fun in places where you never see the police.

    I do the same,in my Falcooon I'm just about asleep or not far off, its big and RED,easy to spot. So I run the V1 in that. Cruise control until I come across petrified motorists doing 85-90kmph.
    The bike, I seem to be alive and alert.I cruise to where I can ride in a way like.(and have always done).
    It's the game we play huh ?

    Turangi to Auckland, Sunday afternoon 1700 to 2100 on main highways... yep, unusually quiet considering it was end of school holidays. One cop hunting on the open road, one speed van just north of Meremere in his usual spot behind that outcropping of hillside

    Sometimes stuck behind a cop car on the morning commute from Akaroa to Christchurch. I would like it if they focused more on those red light runners.

    I always find this amusing, that if ONE individual person doesn't see cops on the road during THEIR specific journey then there's nil enforcement happening....

    Jesus Christ you oughta hear the CB radio when cops transiting between Tokoroa-Tirau areas. Their out pillaging truckers for cash cause there's no way their on the road fort other legitmate reasons like going to interview witnesses, attend domestics or burglaries, reinvestigate last nights crash scenes etc.... *said with sarcasm*

    Police are patrolling secondary and side routes more these days so are often maybe just ahead of you turning around to do a lap of the block etc.
    One thing for sure is you'll never actually spot the one that's going to give you a tiket til its too late

    A good radar detector sure helps though.

    I did that as the OIC of the Intersection Safety Team from 2008 to 2012. The extra funding from NZTA finished in 2012.

    So i left.

    Four seems a bit excessive!

    Ive done a couple of trips to the Waikato in the last week, and have seen a couple of patrol cars, plus a bike. Still no vans though.
