For those who are interested. Anyone that is just complaining about fines they have recieved or could recieve then you have missed the point completely. However you strenghten Spudchuckas side of the arguement with your complaining. Plus the rest of us might think it pretty pathetic that certian individuals are just groaning about fines they have to pay (if this is indeed the case).

Honda....... go boil ya head!

The next time I attempt to engage in an intelligent dicourse with another member of these boards and the only contribution you can make is to complain that one or the other of us is "whinging"....please don't bother!

And besides NC, I'm disappointed. I thought you and me had something... something special :confused2

Well, heaps of guys get their arses kicked for not issuing enough tickets but I've never heard of anybody getting their arse kicked because the didn't attend enough 111 calls...........

:eyepoke:

SWEET!!
I can now become a hit man!
Have heard that there is better pay there than in bike shops!?

Auckland police are testing the use of satellite-guided technology in some cars that can pinpoint where each patrol car is and how fast it is travelling

The AA and various other organisations have been using this technology for years. It would be great to see the Police utilising it too.

We would like to see that apprehending minor traffic infringers should not be prioritised at the expense of emergency calls

how else are they ment to generate their revenue then, if they're out catchin real crooks instead of taking our money?
They say they want to stop speeding, but they're not answering 111 calls, and they aren't employing more cops, and they want to cut costs back.. and the boss wants his yacht.. and speed cameras aren't working.. they're showing the seams..
