I was told that the 10kph over the posted speed limit discretion applied in the NI - is not applied in the SI.
Sounds like bullshit to me??

Never, never give in.

Never heard that one before. Besides do cops have the ability to apply descretion?

My Bros-in-law are in Blenheim and that 10kph threshold is the one they calculate to...

My understanding is ( and I am sure that I will be corrected on this by one of our resident law enforcement guys) that the officers have the discretion up to 10kmh over the limit. That does not mean they will not ticket you for 105 in a 100 just that they dont have to. Once you are over the 10 kmh they do not have a choice but must issue a ticket.
I would imagine that they have the power to ticket you for travelling under the speed limit if that speed was considered excessive for the conditions i.e heavy fog .

Same rules apply down here, 10kph max tolerance, except for schools, which it drops to a 5kph tolerance.
A week or two ago they went on a huge clamp-down, spent the entire week trawling the city pinging everyone who was speeding or didn't signal whilst exiting a major roundabout.

they don't even have the equipment to apply discretion
Immature and proud of it.
Last time down south, we were warned that the West Coast cops were writing up anything over 5 k's. Apparently the ticket numbers were down.
This was from an impeccable source.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

and foggy conditions wouldn't be for speeding - more likely carelss/dangerous

It's best to be behaving yourself over this way, theres heaps of em and they are ruthless.
They have regular backup from the visiting fuzz from the Nelson district as well so there is never a shortage.
Don't go to the police stations for any matter whatsoever tho as they are now unmanned outside of business hours due to staff shortages
Yee haaaa
Aha so that's why this happened ...
My mate was followed down Lineside Rd by a mufti cop, into Rangiora and through the roundabout when the cop then pulled him over and congratulated him for indicating through the roundabout, and gave him a ticket for 111kph. Apparently he had reached 111kph as he passed a car, so the cop followed him all the way down Lineside Rd in case the opportuniy arose to get him for something else too.
This was about 2-3 weeks ago.
The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
