    You mean that really nice lanky Chap on the BMW who's booked me twice for 115kph on the m/w. Love that Guy! Next time I see him I might speed up just so we can stop for a pleasant chat again. Really miss those conversations. Anyone got his home address so I can send him a Christmas present.

    The one with the black goatie, I think he's lanky too from memory.
    Always seems to sit on Newlands Road parked up pointing his pseudo-phallic radar gun down the raod to book someone doing 51km/h....

    I had similar dillema with a car in the traffic this am too. Split past it and am waiting to see if I get a ticket. Was only going about 45-50 ish though.

    As a matter of interest does anybody know how long after being a prat should you be awaiting a ticket in the the mail before you know you must be in the clear?

    Since you are allowed to pass another vehicle in the same lane as long as you pass on the right, eg you can pass a bicycle in your lane or on a double yellow if you don’t cross it. Then why can’t you split as long as you are in the same lane as the car on your left

    You can. So long as you keep you indicator going. And have 100mtr of clear road ahead! How long you can do that FOR is another matter.

    It's been said. Sensible splitting is fine, cops will not ping you. Until you encounter Constable Cunt. Then you're toast no matter what. Tis one of the risks of life, like manhole covers.

    Don’t get much practice splitting in Dunedin not with our 5min traffic jam…..I’m pretty sure you only need 100m clear if you are going into the oncoming lane..now doing that on the motorway might attract the long arm of the law even in Dunedin

    Just because I own a Ducati doesn't mean my skills enable me to do a Trinity
