Exceeding 104 km/h - Who got a ticket this weekend?

[bogan]

Okay, so why is there so much carping on KB about the police who never do anything but write tickets?

cos the chance of cops writing you a ticket is still higher than the chance of them getting your TV back from those thieving fuckers?

Personally I set the cruise control to 95kmph and arrived at my destination prolly 5 mins later than usual .............big deal, I cant see what the fuss is about, keep your speed under the 100 kmph limit if you dont want a ticket, if you dont care and drive over the limit, get a ticket !! thats what my thinking is.

Why don't you do 100kph? You'll get there 5 minutes sooner AND you won't cause people who get pissed of at you to crash whilst they're over taking you. Why have a 100kph limit if people won't even do it? Do you also do 45 around town?

[cowboyz]

Do that at your peril. They're not.



Can't argue that the toll was so low because of a simple 5kph reduction in tolerance. Too simplistic. Too many other factors at work.

but the only way to tell is to see how many ppl got booked for speeding at 104km/hr isnt it? If people were being booked at 104km/hr then it shows ppl didnt slow down and the road toll decreased. Its simple really....

of course.. could one argue the butterfly effect?

Having a clamp down on speed prevented accidents because people are so scared of getting a ticket that they were paying more attentioin to what is around them to make sure it wasnt a cop? Maybe people were more attentive to their driving and paying more attention? Maybe people can not actually handle a vechile at 104km/hr and 100km/hr is infact, a safe speed.

Didn't you guys see all the rain and snow.
Stopped the old people driving it did. So glad to have the road toll down.

Maybe we could all take a lesson from burglars here lol. They know the highest chance of getting caught is transporting your stolen propty, so they probably stick to the speed limit and can burglarise all night long.

And like SD said...maybe a whole lot of people were allowed to travel unmolested because (most of) the troops on the ground knew this ploy to be bullshit and refused to dole out tickets?
We will never really know why this w/e was almost death-free.
Just as we'll never really know why it could have been the worst ever.

Dont you read the news?
I did it on the long weekend to account for the 10% tolerance reduction for an enforceable offence and to also account for the variation amongst car makers.

No one was getting pissed as everyone was doing the same, well mostly.
Besides if some fucker cant handle sitting behind me at 95kmph then thats there problem, I dont give a rats arse

And in that statment is what is wrong with our roads, as per everything else in this country, its "I'm all right jack, fuck everyone else."
What if you come up to someone that's doing 90 or 89? I bet you would want them to pull over and let you passed.

[cowboyz]

why not do 80 instead?

I agree
same with the arseholes that use the right lane and block traffic when they could move over and let it pass

[Ixion]

It's what cagers do. Just the cage mentality.

Oh for fuck sake get a grip!!

Its the Arseholes who think they have the right to go over the speed limit and the arrogant mentality around THAT which is the problem.

95 kmph on the last weekend given THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE WEEKEND AND THE ENFORCEMENT POLICEY OF THIS WEEKEND IM REFERRING TO

read !!

[Pixie]

Maybe the case in Bugtussle but the roads where I traveled where very busy.
Are there even roads in bugtussle?

We's always done used the rivers in Bugtussle.A Bugtussle boy learns to paddle a canoe and play the banjo at the same time before he be 3 year old.

Came up behind one such on the way over to Rotovegas on Saturday...Asian touristas by the look. Travelling at 80km/hr with a huge tail of following traffic. Hit the passing lane. They stayed in the right hand lane. Until I flashed the lights and sat on the Stebel button...then they moved left and we all tootled past...at 103km/hr of course I swear!...
