Respect the Cops? WHY!

[spudchucka]

What happened to the good old wooden truncheon?

We moved into the iron age!

[Squeak the Rat]

I don't give a rats arse what any crash statistics say.

You're fairly senior in the force aint you spud.....

[scumdog]

$200 for an expandable stick, what an idiot!

Yeah, but it's just like the ones the POHLEECE use - and that's what counts!

The world is full of dickheads that think it's cool to have stuff the pohleece, ahrmay and other forces use, think it makes them more of a man and tougher.

I guess a loser is still a loser, asp or no asp.

Nope.

More like the Aluminium Age!!! I used to operate the auto lathes that turned out police batons for export overseas!!! Nicely weighted me and a mate used to have fights with them when the machines were running!!! They really fucken hurt when you cop one in the head!!!!
We also made dummy training land mines they were really cool to fuck with till one of the boys copped one in the face HAHAHA served the fucker right!!!!

You can't die in a road crash if you aren't moving or aren't hit by another moving object. Hence the reason that we have speed limits and why speed is targeted by police, to keep mean speeds down and hopefully reduce road trauma. Trauma can happen at low speeds (as you have highlighted) but it almost always happens at higher speeds.

At 105 kph the driver of that car or the car he hit might survive, at 120 - 130 plus in a side impact you are fucked big time.

Sorry scummy I wasnt quoting stats just giving an idea of what the gummymint would have us and you believe which is a crock of shit....Cause and effect is something you must be familiar with.


Yes you are right other objects striking you at certain speeds will be a big part in how your car and body cope with a collision.

Im not sure on this but as I see it the slower the accident occurring the more chance your likely to get hurt, as you brace for the impact, at higher speeds you are often more relaxed as you dont see it coming, but as a rule yes the higher the speed = higher trauma, and Sudden Death Syndrome.

All Govts engage in propaganda at some level. Its up to the citizens to see through the shit and work things out for themselves, a skill sadly lacking these days.

ANCAP pole testing shows side impacts will usually be fatal at 60 - the idea is not to have them by not losing control and no roadside objects.

Agree with the firey. Better to crash at 100 and die fast than at 80 and suffer. Did not like the look of the body I laid out, who died nastily for an hour due to travelling at a 'cautious' tv ad induced 80 when another 80k driver suddenly swung wide over centreline to hit almost headon.

The idea is to get where u r going as fast as possible and lower your idiot exposure time as well as the risk of a lingering and painful exit if the numbers up. Well thats me anyway - would not like to suffer like that.

This speed reduction policy must be causing bulk suffering - the main reason I HATE IT. A painful cruel policy in my book. Stop the crashes or get people in first world cars (out of jap crap), don't just up the torture element.

But driving slow gives people with slow minds time to think what they SHOULD be doing...

I whole heartedly agree with this statement!

[candor]

Why encourage crawling - are we thicker and slower than Yanks brains? Is Kyoto a reason to go at horse speed again. Emissions - the subject of the upcoming AA Jamboree and LTNZs obsession. Next cops will be doing some sorta exhaust test and ticketing that - oops, lips sealed.

But driving slow gives people with slow minds time to think what they SHOULD be doing...

So if we could develop a measurement of peoples brain speed - and some how link it to a speed limiter on the vehicle (blue tooth), then we could do a way with speed limits ... maybe
Mind you (excuse the pun) we would have to have seperate lanes for morons, women and intoxicated people, or they would hold up all the quick thinkers as they zoomed past at unlimited speeds .

(the woman thing is a joke- isn't it )

...Hahahahahah, ...Shit what am i laughing at....oh yeah what he said.Nice one Scumdog

So lets go over this again, just how different are the pigs to any other gang ?

You're a good example of how small minds can be convinced that the actions of a few individuals are an accurate representation of an entire section of society.
