Tickets for 4km/h over the speed limit this Queens Birthday weekend

**firefighter** · 3rd June 2010, 08:43

What fucked me off is that stupid whores answer to that comment about the error in speedo, and pulled the "well it's up to the individual to ensure the condition of their vehicles, take it in and get it checked".

What a fucken mutt she is. That is the weakest, most shiite answer ever, it's as lame as saying that driving is a privelidge. Theoretically it is......but really it's not.

For starters, we are given two days to do it, so what, the whole of N.Z takes their cars, trucks, bikes somewhere to get their speedos checked?! That's literally impossible. Secondly, how fucken much is the cost of that, and who the hell does it? Two days to get the money together, and find the time to do it......sure lady.

Absolute rubbish answer to a rubbish idea. At least give us more of an opportunity to change our lifetime habits before enforcing it. The lifetime habit they encouraged too do'nt forget. How cellphones got a bit of leeway for the first couple of weeks and this gets enforced instantly is beyond me. (I realise it's just a weekend, but still, lifetime habits are hard to break/this should have been announced earlier).

My answer is simple, i'll be driving/riding at 20 under everywhere, especially if there's a cop behind me......maybe even slower then.

May b a lot of aggression on the roads this weekend with slow drivers being in charge, no need to have your speedo checked just follow the crowd..

Soooo, which WOF issuer will be the first to get sued for issuing a WOF when the car's speedo is out causing the plaintive to get a speeding ticket.......

I wonder how much extensive research they did to decide that 104 was safe but 109 was dangerous and contributing to the road toll? I thought that time and time again they told us that failing to keep left was one of the biggest killers on the open road in NZ, especially on holiday weekends? Perhaps people were failing to keep left cause the fuckwit in front of them is doing 80km/h because they have seen one to many road safety ads and are paranoid about speed.

Also put your hand up if you've ever had somebody overtake you at the very end of a passing lane and almost force you off the road?

None. WOF's are only useful for the second it was issued. They actually are kinda pointless, as they only apply to the time it's sitting at the testing station. As soon as you leave you could have modified it, so you have no come-backs on it.

I actually think WOFs are a waste of time now because of this.

wanna decrease the road toll this weekend?, pull every scam operative off the road and get them to do the job we pay them for!. not only will you steeply decrease the road toll, but it'll also have a side effect of making the country a safer place.

Sometimes it is truely wonderful to go to work and receive instructions such as this topic via the computer...Yeah Right!

Why not use all the cops giving out speeding tickets to crack down on drink driving with more check points?

no just all camera's & revenue gathering equipment i.e. radars/lasers, but definitely decrease the cops on the road but their will still be a few Zunes out there & we will need a few cops to sort them.

I do'nt envy that at all, but I know the feeling.

I'm glad i'm working and your probably wishing you were'nt!

Their should not be any "speed" law, it should come under dangerous driving the speed law is just a cop out & an easy way to bring in the $$$ it's all it is!

Just Remember.
If speed killed Hammond would be dead.
The faster you go, the quicker you get there!

I'm thinking everyone with a license should automatically receive a speeding ticket and a drink driving charge.

Tickets save lives, so if everyone gets one, The problem is solved.
