Anyone ever got a speeding ticket while overtaking?

[Jizah]

I got my first speeding ticket today on the way to work Was at about 6.30am, was still dark and it was pouring down. Some clown pulled out in front of me from a park outside a dairy, so I jammed on my brakes, nothing too major, but I was a tad annoyed.

About 400metres up the road, he was still only doing about 40-45km/h and soaking wet I decided I'd just overtake... Before I am even back in my lane, headlights light up from a car park 25metres ahead or so to my right, followed closely by the blue and reds.

$80 fine for 65 in a 50 zone. I can't argue that I wasn't speeding, but it was literally for less than 10 seconds!

But yeah, anyone else ever got a ticket while overtaking before?

Speed kills. Just slow down.

Yeah, it was years ago now. Pulled out to pass a truck in a 100km zone. Can't remember now exactly how fast I was going but it was only around 10-15km's over the limit and for a very short space of time. About 1k up the road i had a mufty car behind me lights flashing. I got a ticket. The humourous thing was that I had already got 3 tickets within a year so was just waiting for constable plod to come collect my licesence when I got it.

There’s an insidious abysmal little twat; whose posturous position of being a ‘policeman’, in his mind, is a kin to being knighted – this particular troglodyte struts and poses his stuff, like a medieval slayer of dragons, between Te Awamutu and Te Kuiti on a regular basis, on board his holden steed.

He loves to park just down the road from the end of passing lanes, and sit there out of the view of any body daring enough to use the over taking lanes to overtake any heavily laden milk tanker or stock truck, then ping you for speeding – I got done for 116 klm/hr, over taking a truck.

I know I deserve a thrashing for my insolent debauched ways – but I just felt like it smacked of entrapment.
I would think it was safer to just get out there and get passed – but what do we know?
Speed kills, and I’m a bad boy.

sort of. i passed a truck a while ago in a 100 zone, was doing about 130 to get passed it quickly. as i pulled back in a mufty was coming the other way, he stuck his light's on. but i only had 5 point's on my licence so i did'nt hang around to see what the damage was going to be

Yup, overtook doing 119 on SH1 and blight lights everywhere... hard to argue with as the law isn't on our side...

and speed only kills when he stops struggling and his larynx goes soft in your hands... just turn off the lights and ride away slowly...

I've had one just like this going down ferrgusson drive. It was at night and i don't know if the police realised i was passing

[kiwifruit]

I got a ticket for 88km/h in an 80km/h zone, while passing (on passing lane). I've come to my senses now... I'd never put myself in that situation again.

The really sad part of this story is you got a ticket on the way TO work! On the way FROM work I can understand but why the hurry?

True true, what's the point of them bloody passing lanes, ya sit behind some monkey doing 80k,whilst he's eatin smoking and texting for miles and as soon as ya get to a passing lane the bastard speeds up to 110- 120k. If ya don't pass the geezer ya know he's gonna be doing 65 in a 50 and 80 in a 100 zone for the next 3 hours. Dare to keep the traffic flowing by overtaking though and your public enemy No1.

I am of course hypothetically driving my car during this hypothetical scenario, however the monkey driving is true and he lives in Inglewood.

Yep, when I was young, stupid and driving a piece of shit car that used to overheat with too much around town driving. It got hot, I floored it, passed a car, but had no idea I was been chased by the MOT. He caught up with me about a km down the road and issued me with an 80km in a 50km zone. He was rather angry until he realized I was just a young idiot and not a drunk young idiot. I think from memory that cost me $80 which was quite a bit back then, but I totally deserved it if not more. I pulled my head in a little after that!
