Hazzard County

i was riding along on on SH1 through the dome valley and blow me down if this cop who i passed at 145 km/h doesn't pull me over, ticket me and take my licence.

i thought he was a right rude cunt.
he was dead serious about it to, no sense of humor.

Man, you must live in a crappy part of the country.

I might just change my location to 'Utter Paradise'

An interesting aside to speeding is the wide spread habit of officers warning other officers of checkpoints, speed cameras etc. Tell me that does not happen with monotonous regularity scumdog? Kind of difficult for officers to point the chicken bone when the game is not played on an equal footing huh?

You going to comment on this scumdog?

Yes!

Let me put it this way - the first time I hear of officers warning/being warned about checkpoints I'll let you know, honest.

I have never ever heard of it until you mentoned such a thing.

Monotonous regularity you say?
I ask you to prove such.

And speed camera vans? No warning needed and anyway they log on with Comms and give their location so no warning needed...

I accept your assertion, accept mine!.....of the 1/2 dozen or so coppers known to me ALL warn freinds, family etc.

I wish they had warned me - I've been pulled up four times now for breath test check-points.

But then not riding pissed makes it no worry.

So why would these other cops need warned ??

145 eh?
That makes 5 out of 8 people now, I know, who have lost their licence for speeding at 147
A bit of the pace there matey.

So to avoid being caught all you have to do is pull a few dangerous driving moves and the police will call off the persuit, mmm handy for the crims know.

Don´t see how that is the policemans fault myself, if the cop himself had hit an oncoming car or crashed it would be. How are they supposed to know if its a pissed teenager or someone already wanted behind the wheel? Not nice for the parents but I would be blaming the twat who was in the drivers seat of the running car.

[Patrick]

Awesome bring it on I say! I suspect that if the warnings are recorded one might be more inclinied to give them out.

That is what its about...

But then we would be accused of not seeking revenue and quotas....

Indeed. Future generations will look back at this period of traffic enforcement as we look back on 18th century Britain, where the speed limit was 6mph and an individual was required to walk in front of the vehicle. I.E archaic!

Hah.. I like that one. That'll slow ya down... unless its the ex....

I will... I will....

Never been pissed while driving, so no warning needed. I know of quite a few cops who have been pissed while driving and have been done for EBA.

Speed cameras don't know if you're a cop or not... it just takes a photo, even if it is a marked patrol. Unless you were going to a job (ie: urgent duty driving) then there is no defence and you pay the fine, just like everyone else.

And just like everyone else, if you're in your personal car, ditto... pay up like everyone else.... (or bitch and moan about it on KB?).

That reminds me.... I got pinged twice one morning going to the shop and back - never saw the prick... two tickets 8 minutes apart - bastards... waaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Hang on.... I paid it and got over it. Cancel that.....

Only 5 out of 8? Everyone I know of doing 41 or more over the limit lost their licence...

Careful, jonbouy.... thoughts like that will have some frothing and accusing you of being a cop...

Yeah you deserved it you idiot. Everyone knows you don't speed in town. There are pedestrians everywhere! I hope you learned your lesson and keep your speeding to the open roads where an extra 20km isn't going to make a difference.

[PrincessBandit]

What does the percentage work out as for every speeding ticket compared to the number of times you speed and don't get caught?

I'd think that the number of tickets issued to one person is probably still way lower than the number they would have "earned" from their total number of speeding occasions (for want of a better word).

That's one of the few complaints I have about cameras - in my view there should be an amnesty between the first offence and when the second offence can be issued.

My point is both patrol cars and speed cameras are meant to be about making the roads safer - right? With a patrol car you get reprimanded immediately and have the choice to correct your behavior, with speed cameras you do not - or not until the ticket is sent in the mail.

Fines are meant to be a corrective punishment - not revenue?

And no I've never been ticketed by a camera, so its not a case of sour grapes - I just think receiving multiple tickets from the same device, in a short period of time, is unfair and not in the spirit of proper policing.

So......you are saying it's ok to continue breaking the speed limit through a particular stretch of road just because there is no camera present? Or more to the point, now you know there is a camera there will it stop you from accruing more incriminating little bits of paper?

One morning at work you break the rules 3 times (maybe you were on KB when you shouldn't be); the boss has installed new monitoring software on the server that you don't know about and that afternoon drops all three written warnings on your desk and says pack your things, your fired.

IS THAT FAIR?

That's the principle I'm refering to - you knew you shouldn't be online at work but did so any way, should you be fired without the opportunity to correct your ways? No only the first warning should be counted and you probably won't break the rules again.

Punishment is about reforming behavior any other use is not appropriate in a civilised society.
