Road toll - Police stupid obsession blaming speed

[Kickaha]

I'll never ride that far.

Why not? Too many donuts?

[scumdog]

Yea but not through lack of trying tho ay; might be the type of vehicles you use, try something Jap maybee

Had a couple - couldn't get a ticket with either. And the XN85 was well able to get into ticket zone...

Long weekend. 4 kmh tolerance.

Just sayin. It'll be interesting to see the outcome.

Public Holiday Weekends - avoid the madness

Judging by my trip home this evening tolerance is alive and kicking oop here in da norf. An almost solid line of paradise bound traffic with a boat being dragged by every third vehicle. I had the impression drivers had given up haste and queued instead. Very civilised. Even my nemesis overtaking lane was sensible.

Fingers crossed good sense is making a comeback regardless of enforcement propaganda. No offense, Rastus.

It's just interesting to see how it all plays out.

......realy?

Betcha it will be like any other busy weekend....

Plod will be out in numbers, extorting numerous punters that go a few clicks above "limits"

Some fuck wits will splatter themselves in the countryside, taking some unfortunates with them.
Accident will be because of bad driving of sorts, but headshed plod will blame it on speed. ( broken record ..not unlike cassina)

If by some miraculous happenstance the road toll is lower then expected, top plod will beat his chest, somehow trying to take credit ....coz of superjerkingly anal zero tolerance crap.


Did I leave out something?

Did I leave out something?

must spread...

[Woodman]

Did I leave out something?

Yes. if the road toll is higher than normal the same police chief who takes credit when it is lower will blame everything but the police.

[Swoop]

Yes. if the road toll is higher than normal the same police chief who takes credit when it is lower will blame everything but the police.

The idiot will simply revert to his indoctrination that "speed is bad, M'kay". Commonly referred to as the "default setting".

ChCh to Invercargill today, you could smell the bacon all the way and was good to see one deserved white van getting just deserts for speeding in a passing lane. Still get the idjots who career around corners with their drivers side over the white line (don't fuxing do that, you will kill someone) and noted as Kiwi's and not overseas drivers as culprits.
A big notable over the k's poured on in last week in Northlands twin coast hiway all (but one between the West and Kawakawa a goat track) were smooth and mint.
Then on return Dunners to Invercargill that slippery wet shine appears they need to sort it
I thankfully missed, wifey following me k's back in the tin top had issues with some large group of Harleys South of Dunedin seemingly a tour group of Jappers out of control, going slow and erratic, then speeding up in passing lanes.

How do you know that increasing insurance premiums and I assume you mean as I do for those with a history of being at fault will not bring down the road toll? If those with a history of being at fault are forced off the road due to higher premiums will we not have safer roads? I think its worth a try as everything else has failed. As for all those who say our licensing system is poor compared to other countries I think that is nonsense otherwise tourist drivers would not cause crashes.

Only trouble being is that if they can't afford insurance they wont get it and then get a crap car and still drive so you wont force them off the road. You will just make other pay for there mistakes.
