    But it's usually the only one publicly announced. It fits the agenda.
    Speed doesn't kill people.

    That's all true, but a little naive. What do you reckon your career prospects are after refusing a direct order?

    The direct order was probably "Don't worry about the speed, if there's a problem I'll look after it - just get me to the rugby!"
    Probably closer than we appreciate, to the truth...

    Ive been thinking of reviewing the Broadcasting STandards authority requirements to make a complaint about that ad with the guy who gets the ticket at 115 or whatever and coming back the cop is loading that screamer into the ambo.

    (Look at the sweater I got for Christmas, I am a bit disappointed, I would have preferred a screamer or a moaner). I digress.


    basically focusing on truth in advertising requirements and what is a fair inference to draw.

    the implied causality we are asked to accept in that ad really fuckin' pisses me off.

    Don't worry, apart from the 'screamer' nobody takes any notice of the ad anyway....

    As for respect for the police. I'll say this.

    When one of our cars was broken into outside our house, we phoned the police, and they told us they don't have the manpower to investigate, and that theres way too many cars broken into for them to look into every incident.

    We have since had 3 more cars broken into, 1 was a car parked on the street, 2 others were in our back yard, and when we phoned the police we were told the same thing again.

    But as soon as I went 11km over the speed limit in a wide road, late at night, they don't seem to have the same problems with manpower.

    The same for the guy I saw on the motorway with a generator in his Holden boot. It was securely tied down, and the boot was strapped down, but the cops had to interrupt 3 lanes of traffic in peak traffic to pull the guy over, and give him a verbal lashing that all of us could hear, now stopped in the confusion left by his manuevers trying to stop the poor innocent soul.

    WHY DON'T THEY GO CATCH REAL CRIMINALS !!!!! Leave us innocent people just trying to get through our lives alone.

    Ah statistics.... Did you know that, bread is one of the most dangerous substances known to man.
    1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
    2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
    3. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
    4. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis

    And what about THIS disturbing fact from the mid 1990's....

    When Elvis Presley died in 1977, there were an estimated 37 Elvis impersonators in the world.
    By 1993, there were 48,000 Elvis impersonators, an exponential increase.
    Extrapolating from this, by 2010 there will be 2.5 billion Elvis impersonators.
    The population of the world will be 7.5 billion by 2010.
    Every 3rd person will be an Elvis impersonator by 2010.

    I went from wellington to Tauranga the other weekend and five separate occasions i held my breath and hoped some poor soul wasnt coming towards us as some dropkick overtook people on blind corners or rises in the road where you couldnt see over, these people deserve to die, not the people they hit, which is usually the case.
    None of these people were boy racers but middle people, mainly men, some with familys on board too, this shit causes crashes on open roadsm, they should lose their licence instantly.

    The human body can handle an impact of 80kph into a solid stationary object before its internal organs tear themselves from their anchors or turn to liquid, thats why we have speed limits.

    A guy on a bike going through the Mt Victoria tunnel at 140kph (estimated by serious crash unit) also a 50kph zone died as a result of hitting the rear end of a car in his lane before bouncing into the car on coming, split him in 2, we do it to ourselves people, remember that.

    They forgot to mention the danger of parking on the side of the road in a 100k zone.

    The way I see it is:
    * The same cop pulled the lady over to give her a ticket for 112k or whatever
    * While she was parked on the road, a truck raced by and clipped her.

    It's dangerous to pull over to the side of the road in a 100k area.

    There was an advert mockup of that happening.. Although I think the situation was the cop pulled over to tell her how dangerous it was to park on the side of the road *smash* the truck hits her car.

    There was an article I read a while ago where a guy got home to see somebody sneaking around the guest house. He wanted to avoid confrontation so he kept quiet, and the burgular didn't realise he was there. He called the cops

    "There is a burgular in my guest house right now. He doesn't know that I am home yet. Can somebody please come over and arrest him"

    "Sorry, we dont' have enough police on duty. We'll have somebody available in about 45 minutes"

    he hung up not knowing what else to do, a few minutes he called back

    "Hey, I called before about a burgular in my guest house. There are officers scheduled to come over in 45minutes or so. Tell them it's ok, and they don't need to come anymore. I shot him and my family is now safe"

    apparantly about 5 squad card turned up within a few minutes, and were there in time to arrest the burgular

    Get it Right.....Almost Everything can be a factor in an accident.
    Its just how its reported that changes things.
    yeah speed makes the mess but what about the bald tyres and the cow getting out of the paddock and the sun being reflected off sumthing shiney after a recent rainfall thats brought the oil to the surface that the 70 kmph car towing a trailer has just spun out on causing the truck driver to lockup and shunt the car and trailer into the path of the car with the bald tyres who is trying to avoid a cow which is by now making entry to the vehicle via the front windscreen , and fuk me speed was a factor cause the guy with the bald tyres was going 110kmph
