It's soooooo unfair (sniffle)

[rastuscat]

Whilst trivial speeding "offences" are pursued with vigour, gross and blatant failures to drive safely are ignored if they are below some arbitrarily-determined velocity. And then when those same lackadaisical drivers are let loose at higher speed, all those bad habits they are permitted make them a big risk... so all-too late everybody's speed is restricted in a lame attempt to reduce the carnage. Fix the problem at source, don't try to mask the symptoms!

Okay, I'll say it again. 96% of the prosecutions my team initiate are for things other than speed.

Wanna start debating THAT fact?

Grrrrrrrr.............

We're half way there Team, 25 pages. A few more days of ranting and we'll beat my 50-page record-to-date.

Where's Jack Millar when you need him.............

Surprised nobody has challenged this yet....not that I'm disputing it.

The attitude of some posters cracks me up, pleading poverty apparently justifies running around minus rego or wof??

You may need to come up with another controversial comment to incite the masses to achieve that 50 page target...

Okay.

Bestiality............is it really that bad? If the goat consents and is over 16, who's the victim?

Noooooooooooooo.....................surely I didn't ask that................

and on that note I am going to change topic.

I have been getting out my old trailies to ride on private land of course, not regoed but in excellent condition, indeed some are problematic to register should I decide to pay into the acc pool.
Off road what constitutes 'a road' ?, beaches are apparently but I'm more intersted in rivers covered by the queens chain, even if access is only available via private land. Must a traily have current rego and WOF on this sort of land, withstanding no public is on that river, but are allowed to be if they travel onlong the chain.

The Popo gets the PDA to run a check, either manually, or by using the PDA to scan the barcode on the licence label, or drivers licence. The PDA then returns information. Licence expired, reg expired, oF expired, disqualifified driver, arrest warrants etc. The Popo then decides what to do with that information, then uses the PDA to print a ticket if that is the decision. Arrest, if warrants exist.

The guy and girl who nailed me this morning must be given the cheap hand me down shit then, they only had a pad and a pen and said they'd post it out

They must have already got their quota .... if they had no tickets left to issue ...

It isn't a quota it is a "performance target"

According to Section 2 of the Land Transport Act 1998

road includes—
(a) a street; and
(b) a motorway; and
(c) a beach; and
(d) a place to which the public have access, whether as of right or not; and
(e) all bridges, culverts, ferries, and fords forming part of a road or street or motorway, or a place referred to in paragraph (d); and
(f) all sites at which vehicles may be weighed for the purposes of this Act or any other enactment

Hopefully that clarifies........

Yup. Some Districts have them, some don't yet.

The old books still exist. Actually, the books still work even when the SMART devices lose interest. So even a Popo ith a SMART device will resort to paper when coverage fails, or the device locks up.

It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

To put it simply. If you can get to it, it's a road. The legal definition is that vague

Actual wording goes something like
road includes—
(a) a street; and
(b) a motorway; and
(c) a beach; and
(d) a place to which the public have access, whether as of right or not; and
(e) all bridges, culverts, ferries, and fords forming part of a road or street or motorway or a place referred to in paragraph; and
(f) all sites at which vehicles may be weighed for the purposes of the Act or any other enactment

See anywhere you can get to is a road, brilliant ain't it?
