A drunk driver MAY have had poor judgement, somebody doing 140kph+ MUST have had SOME awareness of their speed.

"No reason why the driver can not proceed safely" - Yeah right! Imagine: "After we caught him doing 155kph we gave him his ticket and we said he could ride off home but he took off at 200kph and hit the mini-bus with 11 9 year olds in it, we're sorry but we never realise he would speed again after we caught him"

Headlines: "Police let crazed speed-maniac ride off and kill three young children on bible-class trip"

Rock and a hard place, there will be no resolution to this , the arguments will go on till the cows come home. The Law is an Ass, and the only people that obey the Law, ...pay the fines, obey it, discuss it, think about it, are us, law abiding people. The people the Laws are created for (the head cases), continue on, ignore it and for the most part.... laugh at us....Nothing changes. They in effect cause more stringent Laws for the rest of us. They pay no fines, they loose no licenses because they never had one or lost it long ago, the system no longer applies to them, ....just Joe Mugg like us. I ain't got an answer.

You can apply that argument to anyone that's caught speeding!! or indeed anyone doing anything. Surely you're not advocating punishing people before they commit an offence?

"He looks dodgy, let's arrest him, he's bound to be planning something."

To whom it may concern:

I would like to raise a formal complaint regarding the item on one news regarding extreme speeding, which was brought to my attention on 21/01/06. The item dealt with Speeding but in my opinion it contravened no less than seven of the Broadcasting Standards Authority Standards:
1)2c
2)4a
3)5a
4)5b
5)5c
6)5d
7)5e.

I will explain each of these.

1) The standard states: "Programmes should not depict or describe techniques of crime in a manner which invites imitation."

It clearly shows the manner in which a speeding motorcyclist used a tape to cover his license plate in a way that would be easy to imitate.

2)The Standard states: "Programmes which deal with political matters, current affairs, and questions of a controversial nature, must show balance and impartiality."

It did not get any opinions from motorcyclists, nor did the fact that the itme was on speeders deal with any car drivers, thereby implying that motorcyclists were the worst speeders.

3) - 7) For convenience, I will incluse all of standard 5 here.

5a Significant errors of fact should be corrected at the earliest opportunity.

5b Broadcasters should refrain from broadcasting material which is misleading or unnecessarily alarms viewers.

5c Broadcasters must ensure that the editorial independence and integrity of news and current affairs is maintained.

5d Factual reports on the one hand, and opinion, analysis and comment on the other, should be clearly distinguishable.

5e Broadcasters must take all reasonable steps to ensure at all times that the information sources for news, current affairs and documentaries are reliable.

3) A significant error of fact was included in this article, as the fastest recorded speed on a motorcycle is ???? as recorded by ???? on ?????????, riding a heavily modified?????????. There is no motorcycle in the country that is capable of 330kmh. These facts can be explained, but for purposes of this complaint lets suffice to say that claiming that a motorcycle did 330km/h is similiar to claiming that a car has done 500km/h on a public road.

4)Stating that these speeds have been achieved is misleading and alarming as it is not possible that it could have happened, and i personally was alarmed when i first heard it.

5)

i cant be fucked finishiing it now but i will later, and fix all teh gramma and atrocious sentence structure and send it in.

I went into McIver and Vietch the suzuki dealers in dunedin yesterday.

They've got three hyabusas on the floor, one has been sold since the TV show and they've got four sets of buyers scrapping over the other two.

:-D
best advertising they never had

Never met your sister, speeding or not.

There seems to be too many 'IFs' in a lot of posting on this and other similar threads methinks, - fantasy and B/S reign eh?

Hmm, I thought the tuned 'busas only reached that kind of speed on like, designated airfield strips and things. I just can't imagine someone having the balls to do that on a NZ road.

Also, from what I've read (correct me if I'm wrong) cracking the 300km/h barrier on a bike is a big thing, as it's really difficult. Throw in the fact that it supposedly happened on a road being monitored by police, so clearly there would have been other traffic.

I dunno, something just doesn't add up for me..nobody could be that stupid, could they?

( Plus, the cop on the video looks like an utter douche bag. I think that needs to be taken into account. ;D )

Some looooong downhill straights near Twizel (and some other places) add a little tail-wind and you can get some pretty impressive speeds (so I've been told

)
And at times you could be the only vehicle on that piece of road.
Not saying 300+ DID happen - not saying it didn't either.
