No excuse needed at all, they just need section 114 of the Land Transport Act.

Unfortunately for you 'shudnt' doesn't cut it despite what you think - the word is 'can' and for good reasons.

The legit? reasons are: To see if you have a licence, to see if your vehicles safe, to see if you're sober, to see if the vehicle is stolen, etc etc etc - all valid reasons I would have thought.

And as mentioned above, s114 of LTA says they can.

AND HOW MANY MORE FRICKIN TIMES IS THIS GOING TO HAVE TO BE POINTED OUT ON KB?????????????

TBH they can pull me over any time they want.

Pulling me over ain't no big thing. Detaining/harrassing me is something else. Something like "It looks suspicious" should be enough. I've learned to not ignore that 6th sense when riding, and I'm sure cops must develop it on the job too.

traffic was not stooped it was going at about 40-50kmh.
i took the clear lane and was doing 75-80 kmh, on a 100kmh zone.
didnt know u cant do 100 on a 100 zone??

I think you need a reality check little man, it is a privellage not a right to be granted a NZ drivers license. When you take out the application and pay your money- that little form that you put your chicken scratchings on is an agreement to abide by and be subject to all the rules and regulations of the Land Transport Act 1998.
In there somewhere it will say when a police officer pulls in behind you with flashing red and blue lights activated what do you do, it probably says
a) pull over because youre supposed to,
not
b) pull over and then be a smarmy, smart arse little c*@t, then go and post a pointless drivel thread on an internet forum about it

easy mate!

i was asking if it was ok for them to do that, not start a fight with any one. i dont think that cops are dicks or what ever. i think that there just dioing there job, but some take it a littel too far.
and i never thought

, i just thought why pull me over? i say it again i didnt know that you cant do 80 on a 100 zone!

**Folcan** · 15th October 2007, 12:33

who knows. It could have been cus you were riding 80 in a 100 zone and they didnt see a Loser plate. that they thought might be a learner?

Sadly it will probably need repeating many more times over and over..... just like every day on patrol repeating the warnings, tickets, arrests and charges laid over and over again. Some people are simply too thick and arrogant to learn.

The police have and always will have my support and admiration for the job the do.

It is depressing to think of all the stupid dickheads that they have to put up with day in day out, because they seem to think it is their right to do whatever they like, and to heck with the rest of us who want to live in peace.

Frankly, I want all of us to see our lives out to the full and not cut short or ruined by some selfish smartass twat that thinks they are better than everyone else. The rules are there for our common good.

Thank goodness we have a police service that does a good job of keeping the roads safer for you and me to enjoy when we ride.

Three times in the last 10 years.

All at 'Booze-bus' check-points.

I'm pissed off, wasn't doing nothing wrong, wasn't drunk, bike had a wof and was registered and they STILL pulled me up.

bastids.

**Toaster** · 15th October 2007, 13:38

In 20 years of driving:

The only times I was pulled over was in the MOT days. One for a random breath test (and had nothing to do with my matt black ford escort car... uhuh!!) and the other a warning for speeding.... 72km/h in a 50 area.... at 2 in the morning in the company limo.

Other 3 times have been check points for breast, er breath tests.... sober of course. Driving drunk is for numbskulls.
