Police Blitz

[Lias]

Aw shit - the bastards - they're keeping death traps and drunks off the streets...?

Car was safe.. Had been WOF checked, and had the brakes done we just didnt have time to get a recheck before we left Hamilton.

Rego is just revenune gathering pure and simple.

Yeah - cunts. That whole WOF things just a waste of time. Surely you only need to do one when your car would fail... I mean - why bother having someone check everything when there's nothing to be found?

Mate - you might be ok to buy and maintain a vehicle so it behaves and performs on the road, but I wouldn't give such trust to 95% of everyone else out there...

If WOF was less than a month out of date you SHOULD have got 'compliance' on the ticket. (i.e get it a WOF in xx days and you don't have to pay the ticket).
I can only surmise the WOF was more than a month out? (or you were that mouthy the cop decided not to give you compliance?)

Next time you'll get your shit together and get the warrant sorted out well before you need to do a trip - oh AND yes rego IS revenue gathering - and you paid twice!!

So have you a WOF now?
And were the brakes up to scratch too?

No motorcyclists listed in that - does that mean we're good or that we just get lumped in with the cagers?

Would be nice to see a bit of positive PR for bikes along the lines of "no motorcyclists tested were unsafe to ride" or something like that

140 out of 25,000?
That sounds like drink - driving is no longer an issue.

[Ixion]

No no no. It;s still 140. I think that the police should not rest until the number is zero. All available HP and STU etc officers should be rostered for massive blitzes on drink driving, every checkpoint should have at least several dozen HP officers in attendance. (General duties should not be used though, since they are needed elsewhere).

Meanwhile ..........

[Toaster]

Either way, we need to get the "Dickheads" off our roads and to try and make it safer for the rest of us.

Amen brother. Less dickheads and more hotties on the roads please.
