targeting the wrong people-I'll pay your fine, but you guys should be
targeting the tailgaters and the harrassers "
and went on the mention costs of bike & car regos and why the bad
ones get their thousands of dollers of fines written off while we
have to pay etc
He was actually really good after I bleated like that and he agreed
with me on both counts (ie) that it was annoying people-not that he was a revenue collector, but he said that he has a quota of
tickets to get and thats the end of story.
I was doing 68kmn a 50km area that I thought was a 70km area. The
moral for me is: when in doubt-do 50km
I was guilty as charged and at the end of the day maybe the likes of
me are menaces on the road just as much as tailgaters etc
Traffic cop = Glorified traffic warden at the expense of the tax payer.
Bad news alright, but atleast he didn't threaten to arrest you :confused2

my own fault really.
