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

[Flip]

Ohh ok so when they see iam not a crim why do i still get a ticket for something...at their random "Wof/crim" check...also is it just a lazy way to catch criminals while the smart and more dangerours ones are difinately not caught this way!?
But complacent cops believe that by catching few idiots who had some weed on them or forgot to apear in court is catching the real criminals....

Sorry to hear about your friend though...cop or not.

Cheers

Well if you got caught with class B and had a warrant issued because you were stupid enough not to appear in court well......................yes! What would you expect?

A very good friend of mine who was a cop and was killed by a truck ..........

Steve F was a true gentleman who cared about road safety. The irony of his passing didn't escape anyone.

We mourn his loss, but celebrate the changes he made which led to less road deaths.

[MSTRS:Me]

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.

So why don't you? At least that would be properer road policing, with a definite safety focus.
Oh, that's right, you can't...your head-up-arses bosses want a certain number of each type of traffic offence ticketed.

Having a "genius moment" right now

Totaly innapropriate to ask i know...but how fast was the fateful truck travelling?

[Flip]

Um, doesnt answer the question.

You postulated an entirely different set of circumstances and motivations from the ones I was postulating.

I know I did not, I believe I understand your proposed postulation, and probably SFA.

What makes a rider safe its not the bike he rides or the helmut he wears or within reason the speed he goes, its what goes on between his ears. The road regs are targeted at the lowest common denominator.

I also believe that mostly only smart people ride bikes.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Awesome police work, They hang out and wait for the crims to come to them, and they identify them by their car.

ffs.

How could anyone put this crap forward as a legit method is beyond me. Sounds more like how you would catch a bus.

the last time I tried to catch a bus (in Orklind) we waited and waited and it never showed up. So yeah, that works..

Arghh, ya had me right up until the last sentence.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Surely it raises questions about the speed limit. If say 104 is "that bad" how much safer really is 100?

Obviously all speed limits should be dropped to 30kph. Who cares if you only get half a day at your destination on anniversary weekend - remember, it's about the journey, not the destination.
Better still, to stop this ghastly carnage by motor vehicles ban the lot of them!

30kph. AND you have to have a man jogging in front of you with a red flag. Quite a fit man, obviously.

Fuck! I should sell me bike then...

[HenryDorsetCase]

Thanks for coming out, everyone, I've had a great time.

Bollocks, stop trolling.

They're both in the same catagory - along with non-wearing of seat-belts, cossing yellow lines etc.

I could sit and dish out Fails to Stop at Stop Sign tickets all day and the only ones to complain would be the ticket recipients.

A fit sheila with a nice arse would suit me better though...

[scumdog]

I am moving to Straya where a man can be free and stuff..

They can inspect your windscreen washer bottle - and ticket you for it if it's empty over there. (If you choose to drive a car)

And try owning a modified vehicle over there.

Or take over your firearms that are allowed here in NZ.

Or many other things allowed over here

Oh yes, free alright! (Tuis moment)

[scumdog]

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"

Anywhere, anytime, any car sunshine!

Enjoy!
