Busted! 40km/h legislation strikes again

**Jamezo** · 17th March 2006, 12:15

Yep, I got done. (Burnt Face Man anyone?)

93 in a 50, 28 days, $510 bux0rs. ouch.

I was SOO fucking dumb, I didn't realise there was a cop RIGHT BEHIND ME at the lights, which I had been waiting at for a couple of minutes.

Nice clear road up ahead, vroom, heard the sirens as I pulled into my destination up the street. Hmm.

Worse still, I passed the cop in question (at a perfectly legal speed) just 100m before, on the side of the road. He must have though "hmm, biker, let's get 'im!"

Teh sucks.

93 in a 50 is pretty fuckin stupid to be honest and if you were not aware enough of your surroundings to see a cop behind you then riding at that speed in a built up area is pretty inexcusable.

Keep the hooning for the open roads or motorways, built up and residential areas have speed limits for a reason and abusing them like that just makes people scorn bikers even more. Especially in the nice little villages and towns on our favourite roads.

At least now you can feel like you're paying his salary

Its a bummer but at least you get your licence back

A month will go fast.

Can you spell - DOH!!!

From the Collins Smith and Jones Oxford Dictionary - Motorcycling, a semi trance-like state of contentment a high speed.

Im (kinda) sorry if I come out sounding like a biarch, however 93 in a 50 zone is dangerous. Plain and simple. At least you can admit that you were dumb, but for not noticing the cop? I dont think so, you were dumb because you were doing 93 in a 50 k zone. Do the words personal responsibity mean anything to you?
Your last statement really contradictes the rest of your post too, btw. Sorry for "preaching" but really 93 in a 50 k zone what the hell were you thinking?!

Your avatar, and signature talk of revolution, remind me of a place.

I wonder if that place (and time) would suit you more? Would it have fewer laws and less Government regulation?

Str8, calm now, that's it ... breathe ... calm ... think relaxing thoughts.... Tootling airhorns ... motorised gardens tools .. clam....

**SimJen** · 17th March 2006, 12:31

Still 93km/hr in a 50 on a bike is a lot less dangerous than a truck doing 70 in a 50, or a Mother in a 2 tonne SUV txting and putting on makeup.
Not many people get maimed or killed by having bikes hit them....compared to 4 wheeled vehicles.
But yes it was a pretty silly thing to do.
I generally keep my speeding to the open road, easier to justify when the roads empty for miles and the suns out.

I agree. 43 over the limit in a 100 zone, fair enough. But in a 50 zone, that's nots really on.

Well you did make it easy for him didn't you.

**gamgee** · 17th March 2006, 12:37

90 in a 50k is pretty stupid, if you want to go 90, why not just go to a 100k zone?

**Finn** · 17th March 2006, 12:37

Bad luck dude but you'll be back into it in no time. What are the demerits worth?

Str8jackass, it's bad enough getting pinged without your pointless drivel. Crawl back into your rightous kennel.
