I don't believe that fewer people will die as a result of this policy. I believe that the number of people that die this weekend will be statistically similar to those that have died every other Queen's birthday weekend.

Go look up the difference of statistical signifigance some time between now and next weekend.

Only the people that can't ... or won't slow down, will not enjoy the turn of the screws ...

Queens Birthday weekend, as is any public holiday weekend, no different to any motorcycle group ride ... it puts more vehicles on the same piece of road at the same time. Thus the chances of accidents occuring increase ... The statistical signifigance of this, is known by the "policy makers"

Neither group rides ... or public holidays, have to result in carnage ... self disipline and patience will have more chance of getting everybody to their intended destination alive ....

The statistical signifigance of that you decide for yourself ...

Its been 4km tolerance for ages. I got a ticket 2 or 3 years ago for 106kmh in a 100 zone, $30. I contested it and got off due to the POPO having insuficent time to prepare or something stupid.

The other thing that gives me the shits is their constant reference to Aussie,Their roads and terrain are nothing like ours, You can travel around more hazardous areas in half an hour in NZ then what you would see driving between main centres in Aussie for a month, or a lifetime if they never leave the shithole city they live in.

What fuckin shit for brains monkey is overpaid to declare that the car doing 105km is a killer, a killer that will be stopped with a ticket. No matter what the road toll ends up being, it will have nothing to do with this fuckface initiative. How retarded are they? The traffic in most areas won't even be moving that fast. And the next busload of tourists that drive off the road or cross the centreline wont be dead or alive due to any petty penalties actioned by the police.

Fuckin moron cunts, fuck em.

Go raid some Black Power houses, do something useful. Too many thieving pieces of shit live free while cops tax the populace.

What really fucks me off is there is such a high chance factor in crashes - it takes very little for a injury crash to become a fatal crash and vice versa. There's the age of the cars, the safety quality of each car, the reaction time of the drivers, whether there happens to be something on the side of the road, whether the driver happens to lose control when there's a center barrier on that road.... and so on.
But if the road toll is zero, you can guarantee the cops will come out and claim it was this drop in tolerance for speed which saved everyone's life.
Fuck that.

There is a clause somewhere in the legislature which says something about punishment being 'fitting and just' or some such shit. One of the law lecturers at Vic Uni thought that if someone really tried (and spent enough money on a lawyer), they could probably get out of about half the parking tickets issued becuase the cost was so unrelated to the 'crime'. I wonder if the same could apply to these tickets?

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

I would say that all those stopped for speeding this weekend, will have the sniffer shoved under their nose ...

Hope you have a good holiday weekend at work issuing 4kph over the limits tickets, while the rest of us have our holidays,........ but wait, you are an internet cop posting on here in your own time. I bet I never get caught this weekend.

So it is true, you are "totally controlled" from above and you don't have "any" powers of discretion or professional judgement, you are just puppets!

You might just as well be an electronic robot (telephone answering machine) in a car!

ah classic !, So how is 4kph over the limit judged then?

**FJRider** · 3rd June 2010, 10:24

During a WOF ... speedo's are checked to see if they work. NOT to see if they are accurate ...

Every "new" vehicle I ever got, I have checked the accuracy of the speedo. Just as important as checking to see how far you can get from a tankfull of gas ...

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it; The idea of a speed limit is so we can all travel around and get to where we're wanting to get to in an orderly fashion, with out endangering others, the Police should enforce the law in the same manner as the spirit in which the law was scribed and adopted. But they don't; The traffic police have lost sight of the spirit of the law, have forgotten they are servants of the public, and become a tool of the power mongers, it's all part of controlling and repressing the masses to conform under a blanket of socialistic moral ideology.

I am surprised National are continuing with this pathetic nanny state response to road accidents; where trained monkeys and incentivised neolithic power hungry pricks are sent out onto our roads with some false sense of moral crusade to save us from our selves. They police and entrap way past the spirit of the law to a level that brings scorn, and a feeling of miss-aligned justice. Especially when catching a speeding motorist becomes such a priority that when they see an offender the 'red mist' kicks in and they do stupid unpredictable things and end up killing people like the poor motorcyclist in Te Kauwhata recently.
Over policing on the roads is even more infuriating considering the number of outstanding crimes, un-investigated crimes, police corruption, and revenue gathering tactics. The wankers who practice such things as 'fishing' at the end of passing lanes, change of speed zones, free flowing motorway traffic ........ bla bla bla
They turn a blind eye to the real causes, to the real problems on the roads and continue to defend their pathtic blind policies.

Speed kills? But what's being done about the lack of good roads, poor intersections, old unregistered un warranted vehicles, huge trucks blocking the pathetic narrow roads we call state highways, lack of overtaking lanes, lack of duel carriage ways, drunk drivers, road works that leave death traps for drivers/riders, lack of public transport, how easy it is to get a drivers licences here, just look at the lack of willingness to even discuss the cheese cutter issue. Have you noticed how many lifestyle blocks have poorly designed driveways where all the dirt and gravel is washed of their drive onto the road, a problem for traffic - do you think they give a toss about it?
Instead they put more and more double yellows/no overtaking lines on the roads, expand 70 & 80 K speed limits out further and further, and pester more motorists - ranting about speed kills
And now they want to ping you for 105???
