I had been back in Wellington 2 days!! On the Friday I woke (that's the first problem) and thought shit my one day a month of hormonal upheaval (usually just the Thursday) had carried on to the Friday, so stayed in bed until 1pm when I thought the world would be safe now! if I got up. Was going along the Petone Esplanade and this cop pulls me over - he was on foot!! I wondered what the heck? So I dutifully pulled over.
He tried talking to me while my helmet was on - I advised him I was deaf, so what does the halfwit do! walks away from me talking - I get off the bike - take my helmet off and caught up to him and said I could not hear what you were saying, would you please face me when you speak to me thank you. He said "You were doing 68 kph" I was?? well I'm under the limit then of 70! "It's a 50k area" anyway he got quite anal and sarcastic (which was uncalled for as I had been very polite and civil).
He chose the wrong day and the wrong person - once I knew the short prick wouldn't let me off I thought stuff it - yet another insecure male cop that can't handle a woman riding a big bike - (and probably the fact he had to look up to me) so when he said "You're riding a big bike" I just opened mouth and both feet fell out "Yeah satisfies me better than a male babe" (I'm definitely coming back as a man in my next life - no hormones!!)
Also my T-shirt didn't help - No Rules - Rules are made to be Broken - cos it was so hot - I had unzipped my jacket!!
"Is this registered and warranted??" to my reply Yes he had to ask where they were - actually in clear view as legally required. I told him I hoped he had a really nice day.
I have never backchatted like that before!! Actually I added a bit more too - told him to actually pick on the fkn slow drivers that do 40 kph in a 50 k area - they are the dangerous drivers, he reckoned they ticketed them if there was a long line of traffic and I replied bullshit - I told him (in a good humoured joking voice) well mate if you really want to make your quota - go to the Hawkes Bay - you'll make millions there - he was too far up his own arse to appreciate the humour!! (I have a fridge magnet "I would really like to see your point of view but I can't get my head that far up ya arse").
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!! Remember, bikes don't have no. plates on the front!! Really I have no proof that it was me!! I thought maybe it was drink-driving testing. I am sure the Petone Esplanade - near motorway end was 70kph - industrial area, sea on the left as I was heading towards the motorway!!
I may write in as yet, cos I honestly thought it was a 70k area, but I do have an issue of this laser gun and the fact it does not record a registration no. - there is really no proof it was me. The cop was lucky I stopped really, and there being other vehicles around me (two lane area) I wasn't sure if it was me he was waving at! The other issue is the cop's anal attitude right from the beginning! No politeness etc.
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
Hey I have gone for one whole year without a speeding ticket and for the month of February and March this year - I have zero (0) demerit points wahooooo (then ya gotta add 20 points after I pay the above fine). I then had a friend say to me "Yeah Shirl - ya dont have a car and you were without ya bike for 4 months". Irrelevant information lol!!
Happy New Year everyone.
