Stung by quota-filling bitch on my noob plate

[Lurch]

Obviously the guy doing 130 in front of me was far too much effort for the plain clothes cop that pulled me over for doing 103 fucking km/h whilst displaying my L plate.

It seriously makes me think about taking it off if it's just gonna make me a target for evening traffic quota filling.

She quoted me some some statistics to make me feel guilty and I nodded my head whilst knowing that none of them were relevant to me being 30 and on a 150cc wearing high vis and full gear.

Thanks officer... drive safe now.

Rant over.

One of those days aye...they give me the shits to.

[Hitcher]

Rant over.

At more than 30kmh over your "limit", you're lucky she didn't make you walk home.

[Matt_TG]

33 km/h over your learner's limit aye? Slow down speed demon. Pay your fine. Wlecome to KB.

[BiK3RChiK]

Feel for ya mate! That's gotta suck! Stupid law that one!

[Lurch]

I wouldn't mind the 70 limit so much if it was actually possible to travel between Wellington and Hutt valley without being basically forced into travelling at 100. Unless I was on the cycle path theres no way I would go 70 or less except under but peak traffic conditions, it would be suicide.

Feel for ya mate though will add its not the coppers that make the laws they just get paid to enforce them and sometimes we make there job farkin easy.

That's total crap. Even at 103km/h you are the slowest vehicle on the road and you get tail gated up the arse. It safer the stay with the flow of traffic than have everyone pissed off and packed up behind you.

R g`s go that fast eh...Cool , Bummer about the Revenue Gathering Slapper of John Keys.

Well you live and you learn.

hey
knowing the telling off was righteous
and knowing you were out of line
does NOT mean you aren't entitled to a little rant about it when others seem to get away with murder, people

- i know it makes ME decidely scratchy when i can get pulled over for a minor infringement in this town whilst a whole posse of outlaw bikers can not only flagrantly flout the helmet laws but can ALSO get a respectful police escort while they are riding 20 long and 3 deep along the highway doing it -

people can be forgiven for thinking that some policepersons go after the softer targets

commiserations, Lurch.

Wrong, he wasn't breaking any speed restrictions. Only a license restriction.

At more than 30kmh over your "limit", you're lucky she didn't make you walk home.

As above. Traveling at over 70kph on a learner license is not breaking the speed limit, don't ever let a cop do you for that, all they can do you for a breaching a condition of your license which is 25 demerits and $400.

Gutted to hear mate, if i were you, I would ditch it. They're just attention seeking targets for cops and dick head road users.

Are you fucking joking me? on just last week people were going on about "The Revenue Gathering Slapper of Helen Clark"

I doubt John would have even had a chance to look at that problem, in case you havn't noticed, there's more serious issues in out country that need dealing to first!

[Lurch]

BTW. First ever demerit points in 15 years of driving and first time ever pulled over on the road too. Can I hear a congrats!

[TexasDog]

feel for ya m8. i ride a hyobag 250 60kms a day to work and back on state highway 1 and i dont display my L plate because id be targeted by the and when your doing 105 staying with traffic flow in rush hour its much safer than doing 70 pissing cagers off. and the dont seem to worry you at 105 if they dont realise your on your learners.

my 10cents any ways
