Sophistry and semantics. Stock in trade of the upwardly climbing middle Police manager.

If you keep this up scummy, you'll be promoted and have to move to Welly.

Promoted? Welly? ooh you're an evil bitch!!

From 1971 'til now and I'm still on GDB - promotion? "I don't think so Tim"

Don't worry Scum, when you promote to Welly I'll have lunch with ya!

A compliance ticket generates no revenue... you get the problem sorted and the ticket is waived, but it is still "counted" as a ticket issued for the hour...

Geez, Quantum Physics 101 it aint...

Off topic but Finn started it.
I smell a rat with this review. Notice the overall 'safety' ratings (last para)were "Ireland came out on top, followed by Belgium, Holland, Germany and France"
Is this just a coincidence or what that these 'safe travel haven's' just happen to be selected in order of the world's best beers!
Now back to the ticket thingy-me-bob. I feel well placed to comment having built up an extensive personal data base of first hand, at the coalface, research, collecting a lot of roadside paperwork from frontline Officers on tickets.
Why can't we return to the good ole days of warnings. I loved warnings. warnings worked for me. But seriously why can't Police be acknowledged for issuing warnings just the same as ticket writing. Nay, let them be rewarded more for giving out positive reinforcement rather than always being seen as a negative force on our roads. I really liked Scumdog's bit ábout how compliance tickets encourage the offender to fix the problem. This is a genuine positive action that in no way can be tainted by the IRD. Oh hang on...they must buy new tyres and whammo...a GST hit. Now I get it. We can link any action back to tax can't we!

No, I ring fenced my taxes for you and spud.
You're both my bitches.
And there's no bloody rise coming either. It's a piss poor return on investment I'm getting from you.

Got my first speeding ticket in my life today. 112km/h in a 100 zone. Near Palmerston North.

I really wanted to mention memos. Ohhhh did I ever.

FFS.

Oh well, now I know exactly what my speedo says when I am doing 112km/h.

Yeah, you do, always rising to the occasion... if it brings a lump to your thorat, don't let it get stuck there or else you'll end up with a stiff neck...
