Chch HP being C**nts

[jimbo600]

One day after a new commissioner was appointed and spouting rhetoric about iproving the police public image the Chch HP decided to have a blitz on urban junctions. Now these poor sods (public) were turning right into a double lane and half of them got it wrong. A minor thing and who really knows this shitty little rule anyway. They (HP) were issuing $150 ION faster than they could pull the punters over. Bravo well fuckin done. Meanwhile cops in Hamilton have quit the job and are setting up a investigation firm as the cops aint doing it due to lake of resource.

that is arse... i dont understand the system in this country sometimes. Luckily for me i have System of a Down to remind me that there are other places more fucked up than out own country.

Its CHCH, I saw the horrible bastards doing it and wished that I was brave enough to do it and attempt a runner but unfortunatly I would have been labeled a rebel and have no regard for my safety or others. Just to rub salt in the wound I would choose to wear a shirt and JANDALS just to get peoples hackels up about the correct safety gear to wear whilst doing an illegal runner.

Of course I would never do such things

There must be a major family disagreement going on in Christchurch.

Numbers down, local management tells the workers to UP productivity. Workers don't have a choice.

Bet the local management will get an ear full from head office, not about meeting the quota but about getting adverse publicity.

Gotta say though those people are pretty DUMB what they were doing.

Actually jimbo, this is one I'm glad to see they are enforcing. The number of crashes and near misses every day in Christchurch because maybe 20% of drivers know this rule. Primer example is Moorhouse ave onto Montreal street. Montreal is a 2 lane North bound oneway system, Moorhouse ave a 6 lane two-way road running perpendicular to Montreal. Turning left into Montreal into the closest lane (my lane) I have been abused by drivers turning right in Montreal assuming they can pick andchoose which lane they want. I consider myself a defensive driver (got the certificate!!!) and am well aware what the other driver is up to, however I won't give in, I'll lock their vision and let them know that I am turning into the lane the law allows me to. Sure sometimes it's best to stop, and I do when it's obvious the other driver is blind. And it helps to drive a 2.5 tonne 4x4 as well.

If you are going to drive on the road, know where to put your vehicle.

Gota agree with OMB all the way.

Jimbo, there is a big crack down going on here and beleave it or not Chch has the highest acco records at interections in any city in NZ.... bout fuking time it was sorted.

Now the other big thing they are hitting is amber and red light runners... very bad down here and getting worse by the day... bravo to the piggers for doing something that 'should' help for a change not doing those speeding at 6-9 k over.

IMHO cutting in the path of another car/bike isent a minor thing Jim, can kill ya ya know

Fair enough mate. Good call. But surely they could have warned everyone? That way they would have achieved what they set out to do and got eddy punch clock public on side too. Most folk are simply unaware of the rule. I for example though wheelies were legal until I got pulled for it.

Nice wheelie on your avatar too mate.

Well - thats 80% of drivers fucked, for a starter!

Amber light runners are wankers. As a motorcyclist I pray for an amber light and stop every time, as its a good wheelie practise off the lights.

We were warned, it was on the news for days... thats how I learnt bout Chch having the worse acco at intersection thing in NZ.

believe me when I say they still run through em when they have gone red... wheelies.... cool but a lot of intersectons here have cameras on, so not a good idea.

[Gazzar]

I drive in auckland every day in a truck and i hope they start doing it up hear as well. Its time drivers new the road rules if you were comeing a long in the lane and a cage crossed the lane and hit you are they still w--kers for doing the enforcement of the laws.



thats only my thoughts
gary

LMFAO...... sorry man.

Ya know... its got me fuked as to why the land transport/cops etc wast there time with the adds on TV were they show crashes... people take no notice of them or lough it off.
So... I've always woundered why the hell don't they do adds (frequantly and at hi viewing times) were they use a cartoon type set up were they show the road code being used corectly.... kinda like in the rd code book.

I think that people would take more notice of this and relise ther cock ups... like turning into the correct lane.
Then again the arses that think they no beter and own the rd's will still take no notice

A capital idea.
