As a bike rider i would imagine i would ride faster than the speed limit quite often,but i dont bother doing it on main roads......jesus i get sick of hearing bitches about speeding tickets given to people on the countrys main thoroughfares,as has just been pointed out its like taking candy from children.Theres plenty of great roads to ride at whatever speed you chose with a minimal chance of ever seeing the law.Wouldnt have thought it that hard.

Oh, we DO get the 'professional' type too (apparently brighter than average?) - they tend to be the 'scone-doers' who feel above getting a ticket.

I like them, they provide entertainment.

in fact, i recommended that the editor of a major NZ auto magazine was let off a $5000 RUC fine, and this was supported by the bureau

When enough people see something the same way and are a voting group their voice might be heard, so lets keep talking I say.

well said!! in a world where confrontation and instigation has led to soo much change i fail to see why people are so opposed to it

we were givin a voice so that we could be heard!! just because i challenge the status quo does not make me a moaner and doesnt mean im just bitching coz i think i got hard-done-by

we live in a democratic country for a reason....if i wanted to be squashed id move to a communist country

The gummint greefully rakes revenue off our roads under the guise of road safety, they use the safety argument because its hard to argue against when we all know its the last thing on their agenda. The police do the collecting and they, unfairly because they actually do give a fuck about safety, take the brunt of public opinion. If ya don't want to contribute, don't speed. Simple really. I am one of those that likes to whip things along from time to time and so I expect a couple of fines every year. They are in my budget but I don't blame the cops for a policy that they have also little control over.
