    A while back, a mum with a car load of kids backed out of her driveway, straight accross my projected trajectory. I have no idea how fast I was going but I managed to evade by using the other side of the road. All of this was observed by five-o parked 60m up the road. He leapt out of the car, pulling me over. I could have exploded, I had narrowly avoided being road smear and the man was hassling me
    Imagine my surprise when he excitedly said.."man we never get to see stuff like that happen, do you want me to throw the book at her?" In my shock I muttered "uh na, she's got all those kids to deal with." "Well the least I can do is talk to her" and off he went. What a legend.

    Shit yeah...saw a guy power wheelie past a cop at 140 the other day then slow to the speed limit...what did the cop do? Pulled himself over...not the dude on bike...just when you think you've got the world figured out...

    Exactly. That's my theory on runners, they start because a cop decides they start, not because you're riding any more or less illegally than you were went you went past the last 20 cops. If the cop doesn't give a shit, as they don't 95% of the time, it's a non-event.

    Are you sure it was Highway Patrol and not a Motorway Support Unit, Lou?

    why didn't he just flick on his lights and pull the 4x4/trailer over? weren't you on the bridge? where would be the ideal place to do that 3t? how do you know he didn't write the rego down to post a ticket?

    What kind of a poll is that?

    There's room to stop vehicles just past the Herne Bay off-ramp. They use it all the time to nail bus lane users. I saw this plod continue on and exit at Fanshaw. The 4WD carried on south.
    I did move on marty, all the way to work.
    And guess what?
    I'm not even going to complain to the PCA!
