    Nah, 'playing' is just with their minds, sitting there, radar on and doing paper-work and flashing any getting a little quick.

    Oh, I forgot, we don't 'do' warnings or show discretion, oh well never mind.....

    Never ceases to ammuse me the number of drivers who are oblivious to their surroundings. Some who don't see the HP or camera van on the side of the road and others who, whilst only travelling at 80-90k suddenly brake about 50m from said HP or camera car! So many idiots drive along in dreamworld only vaguely aware that they are in control of a vehicle! Like the lady North of Wellsford yesterday aft. Drivers door ajar, gesticulating wildly to the passenger with one hand and drifting all over the place, suddenly braking for corners even though she was going about 75km/h! Finally noticed my headlight in her mirror, so practically stopped on the next sharp corner to let me past!!!!!

    Yip, I found out the hard way yesturday Nice polite cop, didn't give me a lecture anything but informed me that the cops can get you for anything over 110km now And promptly told me I was in need of paying some speed tax.

    I think people tend to do that because they think that you are already tied up with a job so they should be safe to nip by at pace. I would say it again proves that there truely are morons out there, who simply dont look where they are going.
    Think yourself lucky if all you see is a cop this weekend, Cause you certainly do not want to see me coming down the road, if you do, someone is in trouble!!!. having said that you still get idiots that wont pull over for a big red truck with flashing lights either, like the lady that kept passing everyone who was pulling over for me till she got to a corner and paniced cause she finally looked in the mirror to see what all the sirens and air horn noises were about, shes lucky I`m a proffesional driver and had allready anticipated her panicing and had backed off a whole heap( by this stage we had traveled a little over 4 1/2 kms behind her)
    Anyways hope you guys had a good ride, by the way one of the local cops chased a guy on an apirilla 1000 i think it was` from ngatea all the way to clevedon, where he ran out of gas....his comment was i would have lost you if i hadn`t run outta gas, my mates reply.......at what stage in the last
    1/2 hour did you think you lost me?.

    Do you know it is possible to sit out in full open visibility on a bright sunny day and still get people doing 70+ in a 50? - AND even with the red'n'blues going you can STILL get people speeding towards you! [/QUOTE]

    What a poofter. If you can't get away from a cop on those kind of roads, on an Aprillia thou, you need a reality check in regards to your skill level.

    Kinda depends how far the person gets clocked from though. Sometimes the cops will hit them from 400m+, which driving at 70km/h, is a little more than you really need to be worrying about.
