Watch out for the slow lime green Commodore in Culverden

[vae]

Sunday afternoon, we were enjoying a nice sunny ride out to Culverden for a coffee and muffin.
Upon leaving the township one of us is held up by a very slow lime green commodore going 95-100 kms.
I am some way back (luckily) and see the whole sad story.
$230 fine, 35 demerits for 30 kms over the limit. This on a Triumph Bonneville se - who thought they got up to speed so fast!
For reference, this is someone who only speeds when passing, I ride with her most rides.
I pulled over out of sight to wait for her and here she comes dead on 100 with the cop behind her and 4/5 cars busy passing them both. Cop not interested in the cars but when I pulled in behind him he slowed down to 90-95.
He eventually got sick of me and my 2 second gap and pulled over.
Is this entrapment or what?!

Usually I get them behind me, too close, trying to tempt me to go faster so this was a whole new experience.

if it was a clear straight road in good conditions.. and they were doing 95? even accepting being nicked for speeding. I would be writing a wee letter of 'explain this course of action as reasonable please' and see what the reply was

Mate was telling me last week that they got pulled over ...the reason?...''Madam, I thought you were driving to confidently''...no ticket was issued.

No. It's called doing the speed limit.

For a balanced outlook, get a chip installed on your other shoulder.

this car was on the side of the road on the grass, (about 3m in the grass) as we went past on saturday, the lead rider's radar went off so we knew he was there... but if we didn't and were speeding.. i wondered how he would have reacted... long wet grass....... think he would have just sat there for a while.. hahahahha
