what gets me is on last tuesday I sat behind a copper at 130 for 10 minutes on the Wellington Motorway.

Would a copper pull him over ?

i was driving back to wellington from Hastings one rainy day when a mufty car(black como) started tailgaiting me, baiting me to speed up! im not stupid copper! he then moved on and did it to the van in front of me! all this in the pooring rain!! (cop works in daniverk) shame shame on you mr plod!

Drove from Blenheim to kaikoura on friday and passed 10 police cars all with 2+ cops in them... luckily they were going north for the weekend..... but thats a lot of cops on a normally quiet stretch....

I think that's their breeding ground.

i have the answer, i have used it many times.
buy a bike that ant do 100! yes, that simple, i do it all the time, its fun thrashing it to death at legal speeds, pushing it as hard as it can go!
it worked for years, then i got the KLR 650.....

I had to go to Wellington yesterday and must have seen close to 10 cops on the way there and back. Thankfully I wasn't doing anything to attract their attention but it was the most I've ever seen - apart from at the end of passing lanes on holiday weekends...

If you go 250kmh, the police turn there lights off and give up ... honestly they do! It's worked like 3-4 times now.

Number 1 rule though ..... Don't try pulling a runner down a no exit road, it only ends in trouble.

Is this as a result of Winston Peters "more police" are they just putting more of them out on the roads to collect more revenue?

More revenue, their getting told off for not issueing their quota because people are conserving gas and the governments income from fuel has gone down.

In my part of the country they get along (within reason) but they operate under different bosses who have different targets to reach.

At the end of the day, HP and STU staff for that matter, get told by the big bosses you will go out and deliver what "we" want, otherwise you get in the crap! Defining just who the "we" are is a different story - I guess you can trace it right back to the Government.

was in dunedin in the long weekend visiting brother among other things. was doing 120 on the open road by Kyburn, when a cop came around the corner, the only thing he did was flash his headlights and do the. If i had been in auckland it would have 3 figure fine and demerit points. so i would say the definitly operate in a different way. i actually stayed around a 100 k's for the rest of the way to dunedin

What about 270kmh? Will that work?

NOPE!
Try again, - although you MAY get away with it.

This IS redneck territory.

I took someone to the airport this morning (left home at 4:15am) and saw 3 cops looking like they were checking peoples speed. Worst thing is a car ran a red light in front of me and he (the cop) didn't do anything about it.
