It's just sensible situational awareness.

No argument from me. I find it funny how many folks won’t overtake a cruiser doing 10 under the limit on the motorway. Makes me wonder how situationally aware they are. No license? No rego? No WOF?

Epic thread drift team! It's the KB way! Think I will avoid kaikoura for at least another year until the road is properly finished. The new Arthur's pass complex on the East to West track however is almost done and looking good.

And here I was thinking it only counts if you actually get caught...

That's how to get the best service from the police. Live your life in a way that never needs them.

Or provide them a service they need.

Donuts and KY jelly, or batons and kevlar underpants?

So somehow avoid the criminal elements that prey on the law abiding public? How do you propose that? Join a big enough gang that the crims avoid? Maybe the Blue gang?

My record is as long as my fingernail. But I've lost all respect of NZ police farce. I pay their wages. But I used to be a fan. The more I know the less I am. Fucking incompetent. The system is broken.

Case gets passed onto someone else. Sound familiar?

Geez what a bunch of incompetent fuck ups. No wonder the dopeiest of crims can make a living out of it.
But they have resource to catch extra rate payers banging a well worn drum which hasn't lowered the road toll.

Must be no bad driving or crime in HB, they have time to stop and take selfies of their cars.... https://www.facebook.com/EasternDist...91342740921236

I understand the public relations exercise and connecting with community and target audience etc. But.............

Oh, so live your life in a way that never needs them. Okay then, why am I paying for them?

If it's all about the service, then the only two times I've ever asked for help - a child assaulted in public, and a burglary where I tracked down the burglar myself - then the resounding lack of service combined with your advice, seems to imply we should do the jobs the police don't want to. I doubt that was the intent of your happy little quip.
