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

[miloking]

When you are on the race track on your CBRRRRRRRRRRRRR you can go as fast as you like. When you are on the public roads you can go the speed limit (or within 5kph of it) stick to all the other road rules or you can suffer the consequences. You can show all the disregard and of your own life you like but when your actions place others at risk or even a perceived risk, its another completely different story.

Just because you didn't cause an accident today speeding does not mean you won't cause one tomorrow speeding! My argument is perfectly valid.

You are showing a classic generation Y over estimation of your own abilities and a failure to accept responsibility when things inevitability go wrong.

How does percieved risk deserve punishment? Its just that...percieved, nothing more.

And yes at the end of straight in puke i did manage to get 270ish (indicated) out of the CBRRAAAWRRRR but i would not attempt that on the road unless alone with nobody anywhere to be seen .... but we are still talking about 105k/m "will be persecuted" here, and i can with 99.99% certainty tell you that i will never cause an accident at that speed...and even in that 0.01% chance if i do...its only going to hurt me not the truck or bus or whatever comes down the road.
And if i do hurt someone yeah lock me up and throw away the key but until then....

some roads realy do deserve 80 but most major motorways could do with 120 or 130 with no problems...

You have to remember what you're riding, 130 is like walking on your bike. Those limits have to include everyone, including those driving cars that aren't really suitable for 130... and they'll ban 1000cc sports bikes before they ban those sort of cars.

See what happens when the rozza stop issuing tickets and start doing other police work.

That would be so sweet.

Like the time when the wifes car was vandalized (they did try to steal it) and some of her belongings were stolen (with considerable monetry and personal value) and she rang the police and they were just too damn busy, so fobbed her off.

And then 3km down the road we were stopped and had the wof inspected by an entire team of cops manning a roadblock.

And then they lost the police report so we had a shit fight with the insurance company, But the fuckers never lose the fuckin paper work for a WOF ticket do they?

Little peasant assholes, I should have caved some heads in that night.

Travelling at 99 km/hr (on the open road) you wont be ticketed (safe) ... at 104 you may be ... the element of risk is for you to decide ... will it be worth the risk ... ???

104km/hr puts the very fabric of the universe at risk of annihilation...

[rastuscat]

So you have aspirations to get promoted to a parking warden then!

Nah. Only 22 years in the job. I probably don't qualify.

Your own little universe ... maybe !!!

and they'll ban 1000cc sports bikes before they ban those sort of cars.

And those that say it could never happen may well have a rude shock in store.

Hey if 130 is like walking on CBR, can you imagine what it must be like in a latest S-Class or some ferrari.... are they going to ban those first too? I mean if you are banning anything thats fun it should be in order of Unprotected sex->Bikes->Cars->Drugs->Guns-Alcohol...etc.

Hell five or six hundred people die on the roads each year and we still don't get it.

Hmmm 4 million odd vehicles x hours spent on road per vehicle / five or six hundred dead each year?
I reckon statistically you are safer on the road than many other places.

I would believe it to be honest, somehow recent events give me feeling it wont be all that surprising...

[rastuscat]

While I agree with making the populace safer , this is ridiculous REVENUE GATHERING !!!! PURE AND SIMPLE

Stephen

Oh for heavens sake Stephen, get over the revenue gathering thing.

Tickets for 5 km/h over get a $30 fine. I could stake out any stop sign in the country and make $150 per time, any time of any day. If it were about revenue gathering, why would I nonce around with $30?

So there.

8 more years and you can start making Uturns on innapropriate places on the open road....

Well perhaps you should pull your head out of your arse and realise that it's attitudes like yours that will likely make it a reality.

LOL it happened to you too, funny story my parked car got hit by drunk driver (cops pulled him out of the car, and his mate had broken leg so ambulance arrived)....anyway long story short they lost the police report too... so also had fun with insurance...and the drunk driver was never to be found again. (or punished)

NO thats not true, you guys know that you will always find another reason for revenue, NO WOF, REGO, Licence conditions you name it....104Km is just excuse to pull people over.

Fuck it...you can even make up shit, like incorrectly mouted plate or using a cellphone or some other such scrap...

Tell you what why dont you make a law to pull over blue cars on monday, red ones on tuesday and so on...saves you on making excuses in name of "safety"
