BUSTED!!! Honesty sucks!!!

[McJim]

In answer to your question about discretion. Since the two arsholes posted discretion on youtube (English Tourists) discretion is now extinct in case the coppers are being videoed.

Don't speed unless you can afford it is now the order of the day.

Mr excuses guy, just take it as it comes buddy... the the longer you keep him around the more fines he'll be looking to give ya

last semester i got caught doing over 140kph on the north western. i didn't see the cop till he pulled out from his hiding place, but either he was slow on the radar or a reasonable person; it went a little like this:

cop: what're in such a hurry for?
me: i'm late for a lecture
cop: where?
me: at auckland uni
cop: what are you studying?
me: engineering... look mate i'm really broke -

then the cop goes (with my licence) into his car, sits there for ten bloody minutes as all the cars i've passed go on by, and finally comes out;
"i'll be ticketing you for 129kph, you can see the radar if you like"
me: "nah, i can live with that"
cop: ok then, that is $230 and 40 demerit points, sign here blah blah blah

and i continued on to my lecture to get there 30 minutes late (and i would've only been 10 minutes late if it wasn't for him)

lucky: had he stung me for the 140 i would've lost my licence

i've got no issue with the ticket. i WAS speeding, and ultimately because i slept in - so it's entirely MY fault. as such a paid a week later, about 5 minutes after getting my tertiary account set up with interest free overdraft

so don't make excuses. if you're too tired to watch your speed you're too tired to be safely riding a bike (or driving a cage)

oh and did i mention alcohol??

good to see uni costs were on that list lol. i'm looking to buy a radar detector. with only 20 demerit points to go i think it'll be a wise investment.

(my OTHER ticket was an unmarked car, parked on an empty sidestreet in a new subdivision where they hadn't even finished building houses yet. i was not a danger to anyone, AND i was simply checking my wheel balance on the smooth seal. again he fined me for way lower than what i was doing, but still alot)

Although police do have the power of discretion,

I'm sorry but I find that very hard to believe these days. I would like to believe it but I think that has been taken away from them.

I have to agree that it wasn't the best thing to say you'd had little rest and were wasted!!

[Mole_C]

Take some hard pills!

[Transalper]

Sure as heck would not have told the cop you were fatigued as well as speeding, especially not as an excuse for speeding.

[ehab2weelr]

ive been told by some of my mates who r tranin 2 becom cops....
dat a cop must issu some what around $10000 per shift. thats sh!t loads of kiching!! (mony) dat insurs dat they work rather than bum a round in there fancy new holdens.... priks!!!!!!!!

[motorbyclist]

i was chasing my brother home from work today and a cop drove past us doing over 70k in the median strip, passing between cars and traffic islands.

sure enough we met 3 cops in as many Ks. good thing i told him to slow down incase the first cop called his buddies

[bomma]

Take some hard pills!

done!!

i wasnt actually worried about the ticket and still aint worried about it....overdrafts will take care of it just fine

now that i read over what i said i realise that the truth (about being tired and having experienced a lapse in concentration) wasnt the best idea....

shudda just tld him that my flatmates just called n said that the house is on fire or sumthing so i was rushing back

thers another thread going with a similar gist...but larger scale than just my ticket....should check it out, macstar has posted a link on pg 1??
