Nice Policeman issues lenient ticket!!

[Insanity_rules]

I might have achieved a ticket for riding outside the conditions of my licence, which I did not recieve.

All in all a pleasurable experience. Go the Welly Highway Patrol, Keep it up!!

What conditions you got dude. I've got usual learners but also have to have two mirrors due to my eye sight. Does anyone else have that particular condition as well?

Well, blow me down if we've not been pulled up by surely the only German speaking cop North o the Bridge!

This does not bode well.
And I won't even make cheap cracks about safety nazis.

I had the pleasure of meeting a very nice Policeman thismorning (E796).He completely blew away my opinion of the Highway Patrol as being a bunch of tossers in blue uniforms.

I admit I was being an idiot and entirely deserved a speeding ticket. I may not however have deserved a ticket for 120km/hr on the Welly motorway when I was actually doing 135km/hr. I might have achieved a ticket for riding outside the conditions of my licence, which I did not recieve.

All in all a pleasurable experience. Go the Welly Highway Patrol, Keep it up!!

Have to say, been pulled up in spaghetti twice in the last week, splitting lanes, using emergency lanes respectively, nice talk and a reasonable level of respect and i'm on my way again.

Of course, the time saving aspect of commuting on a motorcycle is being seriously diluted here.

Living within a couple of hundred metres of the station means commuting alongside the police most mornings, hmmm, time saving aspect approaching zero. Recommendations??

I've been pulled over twice...
The first time was for an illegal right turn - It was 1am and I had just come out of a petrol station where I wasn't allowed to turn right (traffic during the day would normally make it futile) but the road was empty except for a single set of headlights a few hundred metres away. I made the turn and carried on. About 1km later the car behind me turned on his blue and reds and hit the siren, scared the bejesus out of me. I pulled over - turns out that one set of headlights was an unmarked police car. He ticketed me for the turn, and let me go - was riding without L-plate and well after my hours, and I had probably exceeded the limit at least a bit since the petrol station.

The second time was for a broken taillight (I had broken it earlier that night at a job, trying to manouver my bike into a handy spot) - I thanked him, because although I knew the lens was broken I didn't know the light was busted totally. He checked my details and let me go. Again, no L-plate and well after my hours. And, I had just finished a bourbon and coke a couple of minutes before (just one) but if he'd cared to test, I imagine it would have been fresh enough to fail the sniffer at least. That guy wasn't even a regular cop I don't think - he drove an unmarked Rodeo ute, which I now believe is the Commercial Vehicle Investigation guys.

I've never felt any need to be anything other than totally nice to cops (depspite a nearly broken nose at a protest once) and generally I think that goes a long way to helping.

You will gradually understand that there are a few coppers on this site, and you may have had the pleasure of meeting one here already...
Some police are of the same sick-twisted mentality as the rest of us here.... we ride bikes!!!

A-MEN to that (not goin god like either!)
