3000km ticket-free, THEN...

[riffer]

Having met you Shirl I can just picture this,so I had a good laugh... Shit, I probably would have run away if I was the copper...

Its a real pisser how that road is 50km/hr. Makes you wonder why Fergusson Drive opposite Caltex Rimutaka is 70km/hr, doesn't it?

Good luck with the letter writing. Let us know how you get on, okay?

[xwhatsit]

...I have no issue at all being pulled up for speeding (hell it's happened often enough) and 90% of the time I have laughed and joked with the cop - it can be done!! Maybe it was his time of the month too!! lol...

Lol, I can definitely confirm that a lot of men have a `time of the month' too ! Mine's only because my girlfriend has hers -- which puts me in a shit mood haha.

Gah, well sorry to hear about that ticket. Some days you just can't be diplomatic, not even to save yourself! I know how you feel, I work in a restaurant, and some days I just can't make myself be polite to bastard customers no matter how much I try -- it doesn't usually end well.

Good luck.

My query is - it was a hand held laser gun - how do I know that it was actually my bike that he had pointed it at!! As there was a bus up my rear and other cars around!!... It is two lanes between certain times. Outside of specific times anyone can use the bus lane, I asked Mr Plod about that.

Um, maybe it was one of those 'certain times' if you had a bus up your rear - he obviously thought you were in his lane...

The thing about sending them a cheque for too much is a load of bollox BTW.

Lighten up colapop nice fantasy for you tho. Don't take things so seriously - I don't. It amuses me when men can't handle the words "hormones" or "that time of the month" facts of life - get over it. Life's too short. By the way, have we met? I don't think so, (E) is a pretty personal comment and has no bearing on anything whatsoever.

Yep we've met (at the Busa's - had a look at your chain I think?)
Not meant seriously - you sounded a bit pissed at the situation. As you and I both said, life's too short...
As for (E) it's a ruse used by most women don't take it to heart.

I knew you were taking the piss - I had read your profile "Tell it like it is" (I am the same - so we will always get flack from some sensitive souls) decided to respond back - in same vein. LOL I remember your bike but the face aint comin to mind!

For the record, I have never used my "so-called" assets in that way - in fact, my experience has been, it has gone against me being a female. Now a week before the cop would have got an eyeful as riding around the East Cape it was very hot so I only wore the bare necessity (PC enough? a 3 letter word that starts with b and ends in a) under my motorbike jacket.

If I was really pissed off - there would be no humour in my posts - in fact it wouldn't even get past the moderators!! LOL

Should just go commando under your protective gear - I do!

NOW who's giving us too much information?

Hey BMW... next time you see a cop with a laser, stop for a chat and, while tossing your hair backward (like those model types do...) and unzipping your jacket ask "how do these things work?" (The laser I mean... )

I'm sure they will show you. It really is like shooting a duck on water though, cross hairs target what you are wanting, and if you're really flirty, he might let you have a go. Spot a motorbike and a car and "shoot" em...

Its not a camera, it does not take pikkies. Neither are eyes, you see what you see.

You can see the locked on speed and the distance you were captured at, on the laser only.

Its not a help I know, but be creative... passing cars doing 35 - 40 kmph and honestly believing it is a 70km zone / I am a tourist unfamiliar with the area sounds better than "there is no picture of it being me..." Good luck.

Except when the cop asks where she lives and she says "such and such Street, Wellington" - kinda blows the tourist theory to bits...

Fair comment - they were samples of suggestions for her to be creative, not me...

I'll start practising!! lol

I moved to Wellington last April after a few years away so I am now on the lookout for the many changes that have occurred in my absence. Thank God a friend had pointed out all the cameras up past Ngauranga Gorge!!!

Good, I also hope your friend told you about all the one-way streets in central Wellington, otherwise you're in deep shit!

[Ixion]

I usually ignore the one way street thing in Auckland, if I'm on a bike (OBVIOUSLY does NOT apply in a a cage). If you happen to meet someone going the other way, just squeeze over, or nip up on the footpath for a bit.

Very handy down round Britomart and Parnell
