Pre-warning to anyone on Opiki straights Boxing Day.

**cowboyz** · 28th December 2007, 17:03

38 bikes caught on speed camera boxing day afternoon doing between 110kph and 134kph.

Hard to believe in this day and age so many would have so much complete disreguard for the law.

How is it that speeding is the main cause of accidents and yet 38 bikes can get caught without a single incident?

Unusual indeed ,I`m just glad that the cameras are there for our own safety as opposed to being a revenue gathering device as previously stated,

Yup. Like when the faggots introduced them to be used "only at accident black-spots"...

Tui?

I refuse to say they are revenue gatherers,either cameras or cops,I now call them invoices,and as such a couple of weeks ago the cheque deposited in the loverly Westpac bank,I wrote invoice number on back where the ticket number could be given.Teller had a look and nearly pissed herself when I told her what it was for.

Nope. I wasnt out there. There is a guy who plays golf and he works on the speed camera part time and said today that he got 38 bikes in 2 hours on the Opiki striaght on boxing day. I told him off and asked why he didnt turn the camera off when he heard the bikes coming. He laughed at me cause he thought I was joking. I wasnt.

something like that. He has a bit of a beef with "these young guys and their high powered bikes" And I am 34 years young. Just another old codger who believes speed kills.

Hard to believe

Certainly is hard to believe....easy enough to roll off 10-30 kph between the time of spotting a speed camera and passing it i would have thought, did it three times myself over the last two days.

to be fair they probably dont even know, yet.

Get a striaght road after a long day and I can find myself doing 120-130-140. Sometimes I have come up to a stop and someone will mention something about a speed camera and I didnt see it. Time will tell but at an average of $80 that is a few dozen for Helens new years party.
