Drop-kicks on Cambell Live

[scumdog]

Did anybody else have a sense of wtf when watching the boy-racers being interviewed on Campbell Live tonight.

Statement of the programme was "they're reckless, they're dangerous, they get right up behind us and make us take corners at a faster speed than we want to... "

Talk about slack-jawed mouth-breathing lack-witted improvident oxygen thieves :spudwhat:

Who are "They" SD?

[N4CR]

Yeah I sorta went 'well wtf'.
Some of them seemed like loosers, but the whole 'young people speeding' theme didn't work out when one of them was 30+ did it....


But it is intimidating when they go behind you up your arse in a cage so they can ping people coming the other way. I do think some cops can be a little to over enthusiastic in chases but who wouldn't really.

One weird thing today - was behind a cop (no radar) who was behind a cage and a truck in a 70k zone - we came to a roundabout, truck and car turn left and myself and the polli go straight, into the 100k zone. He guns it off (quick) and goes along doing 115+ with no lights or anything.... I get to 110 (following him) and don't go any faster. He then slowed down after about 30 seconds of this. Was that baiting?

Nah, sometimes you get a call that's urgent then they stand you down.

And yeah, some of the 'boys' looked a bit fossilised eh!

The 'they' being discussed were the cops being talked about by the boy-racer dudes. (just in case you weren't trolling!)

Never saw it, so wasn't trolling.

Ahhh true true - explains it.

Fossilied... jesus, must have been about 4 braincells between the lot of them eh!

There is no obligation to speed when a cop is up your arse - just slow down

a few years ago the speed limit used to be 80ks, holden comadores V8's were new to the cops,(think) i was leaving CHCH on my way to dunedin, said V8 with cop lights on pull out infront of me and sits on 80...90..110..130!!!... 140..... yep i was right behind him... he had no lights on, so i just followed... it was a nice sunny day and he was out for a hoon.....about 20ks down the road he suddenly slows..no break lights .. just buttoned off.
so i button off also... sure enough on go the lights...WANKER i thought... but he then turned them off and waved to me!!!! indicated right and .... sure enough parked on the side road in the midlle of nowhere was another cop... he pulled over and went to have a chat... well i tooted and waved THANKYOU.. and continued on my way ... at 120ks!!!...

...was "they're reckless, they're dangerous, they get right up behind us and make us take corners at a faster speed than we want to..."

hehe, nice little lead-in to my take on it... that could even be us you are talking about.

quite interesting when looking at the morons, thinking how they had such a huge bad rep (which they deserve) while comparatively we have little. The fast guys around here travel at speeds those hoons could only gape at, and would look far more impressive too

Then I really thought about it, and realised why. Yes, we do travel very quickly (well, those that have fast bikes and want to) BUT, we do not irritate communities (except for zorsts that set off alarms ), we don't unnecessarily speed much in residential areas, and we play in the country mostly, where there are far less people about.

We are basically responsible hoons I reckon... (yes, there might be the odd majority that travel at speeds that could kill ). Sometimes I'm glad that very little is known about us "on the outside"

I guess you weren't around in the 70s eh?

I saw a convoy of four marked police cars and one mufti driving up East Coast Road from Northcross to Silverdale way, I turned off soon after it becomes a 100kph zone but after leaving the intersection at Northcross the cop convoy was going sufficiently fast enough for a large gap to form between them and the cars I was behind doing 55kph. They must have been doing 65 - 75 kph I would guess. Oh btw, no sirens or disco lights.

I'm sure most cops are decent guys and not pricks, pity that it's only the pricks that seem to pull me over and give me shit.
