    in town 1-2km, open road 3-5km. Better too much than too little. Unless theres someone going like the hounds of hell are after them then I'll signal them regardless. I'll signal bikes or cars. Hand on helmet or flash or hand signal.

    People who travel *everywhere* at speed are going to get done either way, by the law or by something solid travelling in the opposite direction, one will cost them money and the other will cost them their life. Nuff sed.

    Half of the fun of being on the road is playing some sort of game.. And having fun with the cops is as old as throwing an egg at the ice cream truck.

    Yeah but your cop car just has a switch to make the lights go round n round.

    We gotta use our fingers...

    Bikes: a K or so. Whatever "feels right".
    A particularly sneaky trap... quite a while.

    Cameras on a safe straight peice of road (blatant tax collecting) = bikes + cages. A good example was the camera parked at the end of the NW, heading west, last night.

    If they are moving too fast, and are in 'stupid' cars (eg badly modified, beat up, smoking etc) I'll keep flashing my lights at them because it slows them down and makes it easier for me to dodge.

    Dito. I do alot of motorway driving and i do the same. If im in the car i generally flash my lights for a lil way, but often if i see cars in the other direction driving like wankers i dont.....they deserve to get caught, to many stupid drivers on the roads alot of the time me thinks.

    Bikers always get a warning from me, even if they dont look like there speeding, its just nice to know whats coming up ahead!

    Yeah you don't want to highside yourself like Haga in WSBK race 1 at Qatar.

    No, I have a friend and a couple of online gamer-friends that are in the Police. I say they're doing a good job. The Police catching me that night (whatever I was doing) was really a good thing. Previously I never saw a problem with doing 120+km/h over the speed limit, now, that I can actually appreciate having my license, I have no problem sticking to the "Posted" speed limit aka 50km/h in a 50km/h zone, etc.

    I flash most of the time, much more and more urgently for cop cars waiting in nasty trap spots.

    So hon, you have grown... I think I can say you have seeing as I know you!

    But I don't think you'll do the poacher-turned-gamekeeper thing so yeah...

    Raglan again sometime soon, yes?

    I have my annual big ticket, thats fine. To everyone who gets caught doing; what the benevelent authorities that guide & bless us, say we shouldn't doing.... get over it.

    Still, it never hurts to help...
    It is only when we have lost everything that we are free to do anything.
