    Why has no one mentioned the simple method of changing the tinted visor to a clear one when needed.

    He stated the reason for stopping me was that I had "over taken on the right" while on Hobson street. As he followed me, before stopping me, he said I "accelerated to 100kph before the onramp ended".

    It was too late to then state he stopped me for a regular vehicle check. Evidently if that is the case it must be stated at the time you are pulled over.

    No, but if you say one thing and then try to change your story to something else you will just look like a complete ass to a judge.

    Another good cop

    As I approached the harbour bridge tonight, a cop pulled away from the side and eventually in behind me. No worries I thought - just a cautious ride home. Over the brow of the bridge and down the over side to see the traffic banked up heading south. I figured that I was in for a damn slow cage-style ride home - lane splitting with a cop directly behind me didn't seem like a smart idea. After a while he pulls up along side, lifts his visor and says " I don't mind if you want to go between the traffic since its 'stopped' - but mind that this is only my interpretation ... ". So off I went, lane-splitting merrily and keeping an eagle eye out for anyone with a different interpretation.

    This put me in a damn fine frame of mind. I'm sure mankind will benefit.

    The consequenses of "speeding" safely by a skilled sensible rider/driver are no worse than travelling at legal speeds.
    The COSTS,of course,are the TAXES(fines they incur)
    Don't believe the propaganda from Helengrad.Develop the correct skills and maturity,and buy as much Electronic defense as you can aford.

    Be careful,There was a letter in kiwi rider from someone who was told it was o.k. to split lanes by one cop,and the got busted later for splitting,by another.

    Next time the news reports that a cop was having the shit kicked out of him and the bystanders didn't assist the cop(as in Masterton)Think about the consequenses of traffic revenue policies on public perception of the police.
