    The article in The Harold this morning said he was a local cop. In that case, you'd think he'd know the road. Maybe the sight of 100 spectators distracted him, or encouraged him to try to be a hero.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    ABS only helps if you are intelligent enough to take advantage of it and steer away from the hazard.If you panic and freeze you end up in trouble (a creek,for instance)

    sounds like the cunt that tried to bait me on the motorway through town by going up to 160 in an 80 zone. I followed just to see how fast he was going...

    serves him right.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    yeh coz that would explain why he slowed down just after.... plus there was traffic around, if he was in a hurry he shoulda had his lights on.

    Still doesnt get him off cruising at 120kmh for 10km before that.

    Did you realise that he could get your rego and ping you for speeding while following him?

    Easy enough to get a bike to pass a car...some people just can't help themselves,they'll even pass a cop just because they can.It takes a few years for testosterone to be replaced by savy animal cunning...

    Beg to differ! I covered the Rally of NZ for years and believe me, the shots I have of the top European drivers are incredible. I've also got shots of trucks that slid off the track and ended up in the kitty litter only a few feet in front of where I HAD been standing - moral of the story is, be aware and be ready to move bloody quickly if it all turns pear shaped!

    I don't blame the driver in this instance, nor in any instances where a spectator puts themself in a position of danger. He's just bloody lucky he wasn't killed.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
