Running from cops

[scumdog]

I'm quite happy to charge the registered owner for Failing to Provide Drivers Details if I get some bullshit as you describe above - let them tell the judge how many mates had the keys at that particular time. I recently got a boy racer convicted after he spent 30 seconds doing burnouts and didn't give details of the driver. He got fined $500 AND disqualified for 6 months just for not coughing up (was probably him anyway).

Also, you can only impound a vehicle from a Failing to Stop for 7 days.

Must be soft Judges up your way, a little while back on similar charge several of 'em got $1,500 fine!

just a question...

how exactly (besides being illegal) is a burnout a bad thing? i mean, yeah, if they leave broken bottles, and break stuff then ok but these modern jappa sortscars weigh bugerall, they dont wreck the roads, and a burnout is NOT dangerous, (it just looks it) and yet you, in the pursuit of a conviction, probably wrecked some young mans life for the next 5 years.

Well, it CAN be dangerous; vis one incident when Skyline owner skidded rear tyres down to the steel belt, swapped them with front ones, did the same again, no problem so far.
Next day heading home from work on familiar road, knew the corners - but forgot steel-belts don't grip like rubber and Skyline ended up on roof with four injured occupants - It was not ME that 'ruined' the guys life, HE DID IT ALL BY HIMSELF!
Often the size of the guys brain is closely linked to propensity to do burnouts.
If you haven't enough grunt to spin the tyres without using the brakes then you shouldn't be doing it! - unless it is to compensate for a small dick.
If you have enough grunt to spin 'em just taking off (without brakes) then (IMHO) good one you!
Of course both are illegal!

[scumdog]

shit scumdog....leave ya job at your job....




and for the record I bet you've been over 150 on one of your bikes?...be honest!

Be glad to leave it at work, but have you noticed how YOU lot won't let me!

Yeah, and been faster still in my 'lorry' in my early days AND I got sprung AND I had to cough up lots of money to the Gov't etc - BUT unlike a lot on this site I didn't go crying to all and sundry about how unfair it was and how it was tax gathering etc etc, blah- blah- blah ad infinitum, ad nauseum..........

[madboy]

Yeah, posts getting interesting... Is it runner time yet? Haven't had one in weeks...

[JWALKER]

Except a logging truck, 'cheese-cutter' barrier etc, - they would stop you no sweat.

yeah, but if that happened, i don't think i would have to much to wory about it, it would be over pretty quick

Yeah, plenty of 200-220s, but can't say I've really had a chance to wind it up... I think the 250k lanesplitting was after I'd lost them.

I wonder if they had a good lawyer? The difference between guilty and innocent in this country is how good your lawyer is, nothing more.

I've learnt a healthy disrespect for the legal system, I for one won't appear as a witness in court again. The cops are a different matter, but i do find it interesting when I run into a good cop who seriously thinks there are no bad cops.

I was wondering why you've been so quiet lately, I just figured that perhaps old age was beginning to take it's toll. We were quite dissapointed on TRTNR that you didn't bring a high speed pursuit past the Breakers Bar......

[Fatjim]

Just couldn;t resist, could you Dafe?

Go to bed, you'll need your rest no that VTWIN is going to have to change his name.

Wouldn't work with me sonny - any charges I laid would be 100% true AND of real substance.
Bullshit stuff from either side does not enhance either party or their integrity.

That must be why they waived it. He did bullshit, I didn't.

[Lou Girardin]

Carrying on from Dafe's post, we're often told that there's no corruption in NZ. The owners of a leaky apartment block took the Building Industry Association to court on the basis that they approved the standards that led to this problem. The High court found against the owners. (The old boy network wins another one).
Then the Govt threatens the owners with seeking costs against them unless they give up their right of appeal.
If this isn't morally corrupt I don't know what is.
