Motorway Patrol on next/now (20 August)

[v8s&2wheels]

Im surprised there was no thread for last weeks episode where two bikers were pulled up.

One for riding a bike over 250cc while on restricted the other for riding a 250 with no bike license. I guess we only care about the speeders around here

Never really watch tv just happened to be having a lazy night and saw the advert for it. Wish i had watched last weeks too then. Anything bike related is worth watching for me. What size bike was the guy on that had his restricted?

[WarlockNZ]

So no then

LOL .. it may depend, take the US for example, they don't consider traffic violations and felony (jail time) only as a misdemeanor (fine) .. so no a speeding fine in NZ shouldn't effect a US visa ...

but it may depend on the country ..

A drug charge in NZ ... then yes, you can pretty much kiss a visa for the USA goodbye.

i'd love to be corrected tho

You obviously missed that fat fuck on the ZX10 on last weeks program...hoodie,jeans and sandshoes...

That's a ZX-10 though. Ducati riders should have more class

saw part of that one .. didn't really have a problem with the guy with no license ... he wasn't realy doing anything wrong in my opinion. just a little fast over the bridge...

come on ... it's an 80 zone ... no one does 80 over the bridge if they don't have to ... LOL . shit .. how many people actually know it's an 80 zone

i sense a poll coming on ... ha ha

ZX 10 according to another post in this topic. The cop told him he could apply to get the fine withdrawn if he gets his license (as he was eligible to get it he was just lazy) but he got the cop to write down on the ticket that he had 28 days to get his full license and get off the ticket. Cheeky bugger!

All good, was playin along.

AFAIK 140 kmh is the magic number (+40 over). Below that you get to keep your licence.

A 28 day walk plus a traffic offence notice follows but here's the kicker. There is a small degree of latitude with what you are charged. 2 guys I know have had quite a difference in thier tickets. One was 145 ish and charged with dangerous driving 'cos he was weaving in and out of rush hour traffic. Another was 165 in an 80 but stopped safely when ordered to at a checkpoint. His was exceeding 80 kmh (speeding).

The penalties in addition to the 28 day walk: DD denied charge, found guilty, 6 month walk $650 fine plus costs. Speeder pleaded gulity got 50 points, no walk and $1230 fine plus costs.

Jeez some places have a higher speed limit than our 'your a bad person for speeding' offence limits.

So it WAS you!

[WarlockNZ]

LOL .. take it outside boys

[ynot slow]

About to upset the hierachy.What the fark $1000 and 6 months disq for speeding on top of mandatory 28 day license lost.
Then the idiot still pissed blowing 728mcg or so on restricted? car license without full holder in car,he gets $450 and 6 months disq.

Am I only one confused,i.e road safe message being spouted by police boss',no quotas etc.What a load of bollocks.When DIC accused is in court nearly twice adult limit and gets $550 less fine than a speeding guy.In my mind yes they're both farkin menaces on road,but why the crap about don't drink and drive if they're getting piss arse penalties.

Wish the judges would get real.

I ride with random other riders all the time, its not unbelievable that he could of been riding with someone he didnt know. sometimes I prefer to ride with some random than some of the other people I ride with

One time that I got stopped he asked who my "mate" was I was riding with.

ME: You mean the guy on the bike next to me?

COP: Yeah

ME: Didnt know him

COP: Bollocks

ME: (pointing at cars travellig along Mwy)You reckon the guy in that car knows the fella in the car driving in the lane next to him?

COP: ok fair point

Yeah, except for the minor point that you did know the other rider, didn't you.

No wonder cops get so cynical about humanity.
