Where did all those Police come from???

[fishb8nz]

On my way from Hammy to Whangaroa, over Waitangi weekend, I saw a traffic cop every 20 minute. Typical holiday weekend. Either somebody pulled over, with lights flashing, or just cruising in the opposite direction.
Simple indications here - take it easy. Welly it on the back roads but forget it for the major highways. No major crystal ball work there!

Bugger mate, shit you got the harsh end of the stick. You have every right to complain that the bugger was doing his job, but in truth, good on ya for not complaining and taking it on the chin.

Next time, do a farking runner OK.

Funnily enough...

I only saw one HP today and I was being semi sensible at around 118
Lucky boy

118 !!! Are you insane Paul? There was I feeling like a failed citizen going all the way up the dial to 115, while you were going off the deep end. You need therapy. I feel like a saint again after hearing that.
Why can't I be a chick magnet instead of a demerit points magnet?
Shut up.. no one answer that.
On a serious note I know Easter is usually a terrible time for road deaths so its good to see a high HP presence on the roads at a time when it will help. If they put all the muftis on the road - now that would stink.
And thanks to all you other KBers trying to cheer me up by also getting tickets. I would have prefered beer though. Or better still petrol. I put some 98 in at $1.72 ... ouch.

Three of us got pinged yesterday - looks like a fecking KB record.

Tell us more JSG. Were you all caught at the same time or picked off individually. Laser?

[MD]

good on ya for not complaining and taking it on the chin.

Cheers. I have no problem with them doing their job. in fact if all I ever get is copped at 115 here, 116 there, then I'm well ahead of the ledger.

Bugger, doesn't sound good MD.

Unusual thing was, Myself and UncleB and others took an early ferry sailing on saturday morning and arrived at Picton at 9am.

We did a run from Picton across the Takakas, back to Blenheim and returned to Picton for a sailing that night. We did not see one cop, until we arrived back in Wellington.

We were so confident that there must be no cops on patrol, that I sat at 150kph from Nelson to Blenheim. Sure enough, Not a cop to be seen at all.

Maybe all the Nelson cops went to Wellington to make their quota this month.

My response to the coppers question would have been: " That from this day - I'll never give support or assistance to the Police, in any situation, ever."

Hey MD, It wasn't the Maori/Pacific Islander motorcyclist cop was it? I got done for 65 in a 50 in January. Also, Pex_Adams got done by him in february. That guy loves pinging motorcyclists.

When did the highway from Whitby to Pautahanui roundabout get lowered from 100kph to 80 kph? That's a great piece of perfect curvy seal that can actually be enjoyed at 100.

That new 80k zone is a joke!! Mind you, cages are so much easier to pick off in those little bays when they're doing 75, had heaps of fun doing just that thisarvo. Came back over the Haywards hill , headed south and saw a cop pulled over some poor bugger on a GSX250 150mtrs south from Haywards lights. I figured he must have been victim of the Manor Park laser sting. You'd have to be blind and deaf to get pinged with that old trick, it was my lucky day again today.

THATS IT , LET YOUR ANGER CONTROL YOU , GIVE IN TO THE DARK SIDE


P.S. I DONT THINK YOUR THE WORLDS FASTEST COOKISLANDER , MAYBE THE POOREST AFTER FINANCING THAT FLY NEW RIDE BUT NOT THE FASTEST

Hey MD, It wasn't the Maori/Pacific Islander motorcyclist cop was it? That guy loves pinging motorcyclists.

Dafe do you mean the big heavy sucker that looks about 50 years old that rides a Beemer. I think He's a Hutt traffuc unit. I jumped out of my ute one morning at BP Melling. The handbrake was rooted and the thing nearly rolled over his bike. I caught it (darwin moment) but I thought he was gonna book me for it.
If you mean the late 30's / early 40's Samoan HP dude, He Rocks!! ( As much as a cop can of course ) let me off light as a month back going for a blat one Sunday morning.

[Sutage]

dont speed on easter and always buy alcohol day before
easy !

[VasalineWarrior]

''What have you learned from this?'' bahahah thats a bit rich. Would he like a list?

1) ''That you are a prick, officer''
2) ''That you are a conceited prick and a wanker, officer''
3) ''That you are a conceited prick and a wanker who is so used to picking on law abiding citizens that next time I will show you a clean pair of wheels and a one fingered salute, officer''
4) etc

Feel free to add your own comments

Seriously though, if I reckon I can get away with it turning off up a nice quiet street and turning the bike off is becoming a very attractive option these days. How many of us get ''warnings'' anymore? Tosser

[oldguy]

At that speed, you would have been the slow'est person on the motorway Don't know how many times Ive had people pass me in there 4WD's these clowns have there whole familys, Im doing between 100 to 115k on a bike and pass me (like I,m standing still )well you know what I mean.
Think that cop just wanted to add a bike to his collection.

[Aiolos]

Bloody north islanders. Everyone (which was hardly anyone) on the Dunedin motorway today was being law-abiding.

[justsomeguy]

Tell us more JSG. Were you all caught at the same time or picked off individually. Laser?

Individually, all could have been avoided. We fell straight into their trap, stupid us.

[Swoop]

I have had reliable info that the cops are playing games to amuse themselves during their shift, gathering $$'s for uncle helen.

They play snooker......

Pot a red,
Then a colour,
Then another red,
etc....

Finishing on a black at the end of the shift!


Speed kills! (I need a Tui now).
