Hot leggy hungarian policewoman allegedly saw me do a wheelie today..

**K6K** · 3rd March 2009, 20:24

So I was pulled over for allegedly doing a 30cm high clutch wheelie today...uphill pulling away from the lights @ less than 50kph. The cop who pulled me over was the best looking policewoman I have ever seen...cute tall and leggy with a nice hungarian accent. She said she didn't want to charge me with careless use of a motor vehicle but she obviously didn't want me to miss out on some sort of charge because she spent 20 minutes hunting through her revenue book looking for something to drain my wallet with. She didn't find the charge she was looking for...she even called a bike cop to assist. The bike cop guy didn't give an inch...he wanted to charge me with careless as any wheel off the ground even an inch is careless use. Interestingly I asked him if I had to emergency brake and my back wheel came off the ground an inch would that be classed the same? Damn straight it's careless use. I would of been going too fast for the conditions in the first place! I'm sure you're thinking WTF??? how do I know when I have to emergency brake? Well sorry I didn't want to point out that he was a prick so I didn't ask. I was in full nice mode trying to get out of a ticket so I didn't think pushing it would be productive.
Anyway the end result was she gave my license back, wrote down all my phone numbers and said if I do get a ticket it will be an instant fine not careless use. As long as she can find out what the charge is!
She thought it was excessive accelleration or similar...anybody heard of this? Anybody know what a charge would be for a wheelie er...alleged wheelie that was not impressive enough for a full on careless use charge?
Any idea how much entertainment tax I may have to pass on and more importantly...how many demerit points? (I don't have many spare demerit points!)

This sort of thing is bullshit. So your front wheel came off the deck, taking off from the lights uphill?
I thought the road rules were all about safety? If you weren't obviously showing off, and were in full control of your bike, so fucking what?!?
Although what wasn't obvious from your post is whether the front wheel popped up unintentionally, or it was deliberate?

the other interesting part of the encounter was when the Bike cop saw my radar detector and (i think) he thought that radar detectors in general didn't detect lasers. He asked me to turn it on so I did...and the radar went nuts (as it does with lasers). He then said oh well you are not going to hear or see that at speed are you ho! ho! (sort of talking to the female cop). Then the female cop asked what was that flashing light in my helmet.

No I sheepishly (I was still trying to project innocence) told her that it was there to show me when the radar detected something... and she burst out laughing...the bike cop didn't laugh though.

when she took you number ya shouldve asked for hers, and said youll even pick her up on the bike! Ive done that, got a stern "Im trying not to laugh" smile and she told me to carry on. wasnt bike related, but still funny. never saw a ticket for it though!!
