A question for Spudchucka

[Lou Girardin]

Perhaps you were prepared to lie and risk your career for a traffic ticket or check out porn sites at work but don't assume others are. What have you got to back that statement up?
.

Let me clarify for you; I witnessed the first, several times. You know how it goes, I saw it, so it happened.
As for the latter, read the papers. Even Judges do it.

Isn't it a case tho of that 'we know the rules, let's play to them'? It is not like they are changing the speed limit randomly - we elect to break the limit - why whinge when we are caught?

ChudSpucker and the like may cop an attitude etc - but at the end of the day, if we were obeying the law, we wouldn't be standing on the side of the road? There is a chain of events - and the one thing you can do to stop being a 'victim' of a road side taxing - is not break the law. Simple really. Either that - or you can break the law and take your medicine.

All this discussion comes to one point: You do control whether or not you get a ticket, and it isn't your attitude, your argument or your ticket analysing skills - it is plain and simply the control over your right hand!

Wkid one, that is THE most straight to the point realistic and practical comment I have heard on the subject. The LAW says 100kph and that's it.
YOU go faster - YOU pay, simple. - don't worry if it reduces road deaths etc, it's the law.
The people that moan about the speed limit probably also moan "I was only away ten minutes over the time on the meter" or "the tyre is only 10% under the minimum" or "my rego is only out by amonth and a half" etc etc

Err the my point was running from the Police can and often does result in the loss of innocent peoples lives. Nothing justifies doing a runner, especially not trying to avoid a traffic infringement, thats just pathetic.

IMO it makes him both a tosser and no different than any other criminal.

Agree, runners are inherintly stupid The best thing the cops can do for you if you are in to runners is take your vehicle away from you and put it in a compactor (it'll save you having to do it yourself!).
I don't care what your skill level is, the road is not the track and you are sharing it with a lot of low skill drivers/riders (not to mention various wildlife, and unpredictable road surfaces), pull you head in before you become a stat. (and/or take someone else's life).
