Funnily enough I was leaving Shannon on Waitangi day (Read Passing through) and got pulled up
by the 5-0

Cop "Did you know that you are speeding?"
Me "If by speeding you mean the 70kph bullocks then yes, if you mean going faster
than 100kph then no"
Cop "OK then just wanted to see if you knew"

I lol'd inside, no ticket and a 15 minute chat about bikes and the bullock 70k rule.

Gave him a wave as I resumed my trek accelerating back to 100 and got one back.

Somedays you just get the nice ones

True; there was this day in 2002...........

Wave to cops? Yeah, whatever. There's a few I'd like to buy some flowers for though......to put on their grave.

now that's a tad bit harsh................. you could always say "they're just doing they're job, and you were the one in the wrong place at the wrong time"

Actually, he probably found his best friend in the sack with his wife that morning, so was having a bad day and you copped it

If you want a wave back a rural postie is a sure bet.

They've had a spat on KB and are carrying it over into real life

Any cop on a bike gets a wave or nod - especially the one who sits at the top of Nelson St getting all the wankers who run the red/block the intersection of a morning.

Had a long chat about bikes and helmets with a bike cop on Queen St one lunchtime.

I suspect if you waved at a cop car, they'd suspect you were giving them a gesture.....

I was riding home the other day and two scooters started what looked like they were hailing me like a king so me being the smart ass that i am i just waved back with both hands. Next a car comes around the corner and gives me the old head lights so i finally clicked and slowed down to what i think is 40kms (speed o in miles) and then i saw the cheeky bugger (the cop) hiding in the bush with his radar so i waved and he had a chuckle to him self and waved back. Next time he shouldn't wear a bright blue uniform in a green flax bush
