speed... GPS vs speedo

[R650R]

Bugger off Dave...
So this part will get them going again...
Part reason for the thread is a public member *555 me right, tried getting me for "dangerous" but its come in the mail and its passing with no view ahead...
CROCK A SHIT they were in a wee car tailgating another, so all they could see was a bumper I however have 2m roof height and could see for... And here we have it cos I brought a dash cam GPS and took a video and measured the road, 800m viability.
We were in a 100k area them 70-80kph max and twice down to 60kph.
So I passed and they complained and I got nicked

Fuckers

I’d contest that, make the deckers show up in court and make them provide evidence....

Trouble is I expect the cop has issued you an ‘improper overtake’ typecticket under careless use which is say $150 fine knowing full well the cost of protesting your innocence is much higher...

[F5 Dave]

ohh we chatted all right, he rightly nutted of at me hence the dangerous threat... but he sent out the later

That sucks dude.

I had a similar accusation via *555 a few years back. I gave a slightly different version to the complainant. I told the cop I was happy to take it to Court. And to ensure the complainant was in court to give their version IN COURT. Regardless of any formal (sworn) statement they might have made. Turns out NO official complaint at a Police station was ever made. When I got to court on the day ... the charge was dropped as no official complaint was actually made.

There are some with *555 on speed dial. They go driving LOOKING for bad driving.


The best thing to do is ... deny everything ... And keep a straight face.

Section 7.17 of Land Transport (Road User) Rules 2004: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regu...html#DLM303635
Basically, you commit an offence if you travel so close to the vehicle in front as to inhibit others from passing.

Don’t get too flash or you risk the legal sharks tripping you up without your own evidence.
All you need to do is contest the accuracy of the allegation.
For starters I’d want to see a written signed statement made on or damn near as close as possible to offence date by the *555er.
If your lucky the cop will have been lazy and just talked over the phone with them.
I would take a simple unedited photo from the site that shows your safe view and distance.
Avoid any emotional derogatory description of the other driver, they are just a fellow motorist who interpreted a scene differently to you.
The court will not want to waste time or punish you for an instance where there isn’t clear evidence of the described offence. It’s not like someone oncoming has dashcam of emergency braking to avoid you etc...

Oh bugger....

Never talk to the police without your lawyer.... it’s like sitting down at the salesman’s desk in the dealership, your not leaving without spending big $$

There’s a good American vid that says 80% of convictions would never happen without accused confessing, that’s why they precondition people via tv shows to the plea bargaining concept....
At least phone books have gotten smaller these days 😂😂😂😂

Last time I looked, and it was a while ago, everybody appearing in court that day for careless use lost their licence. Well, all but one. Me. I had a lawyer.

Quick, gets the Mods. Someone has stolen R650R's log in.

Nope ... just deny everything.

The basic theory of the *555 system is reporting NON urgent driving behavior and incidents. ie: Not requiring immediate Police attention like a collision.

Through the process ... only phone conversations are usually made between Police/accuser and Police/accused. Unless a Patrol car is in the area.

For what you may be regarding as a serious incident that you are reporting ... it is (you are) ADVISED to FORMALLY report it at any Police station in a FORMAL report/complaint. Most of the tossers that love doing the *555 thing are usually too fucking lazy to do this.

When plod contacts the accused ... and asks did you ... etc ??? ... and YOU say yes (in any way shape or form) ... the ticket will be in the mail. And if you deny it ALL ... the plod has two choices. Continue to investigate the incident ... or drop it. Usually after a short lecture on the seriousness on the topic of the issue being complained about. The Police being very busy people ... usually drops it ... with the he said / she said type reports. Unless THEY regard it as potentially serious and requires more investigation. Bear in mind *555 is for NON urgent and NON serious driving incidents. If you report an incident you will be told this.

A formal complaint being made by the complaint on the incident ... bumps the process up a bit. And a visit from plod can be expected by the accused.

The result in favor of those being reported ... depends mostly on the laziness of both the complainant and plod. The more work they have to do to get a result ... the less likely they will.

If you MAKE a complaint ... make it a formal one. They have the BEST chance of being actioned. But be accurate with ALL the details.
