    The reason a limit is applied across the board it that it is easy to understand for the majority of people, it's unambiguous.

    Sorry, venting.
    Different coloured plates, today's electrickery makes a barcode pretty easy to scan by you donut munchers, lisence classes.

    There's heaps of ways, but it's redundant when you think about the lowest common element trying to deal with a larger variable of speed than they can't fuckin judge now.

    Dunno what he's on about anyhoo, us bike gods just jet when we see the disco lights. If not making enough ground, ride past a dunken donuts to distract you fuzzy muthafuckers!

    Solution. Take a small supply of business cards with you. "Sorry sir. Here's my card. Give me a call at work on Monday and we'll discuss it"

    Mwahaha, just imagine a busy motorway with three or four 'speed catagory' driver/riders

    the 140kph+ drivers swerving inbetween and around those limited to 85kph who have the 110kph limit ones scattered behind them trying to get past them....oh my, such mirth and hilarity

    Did he show the receipt to show 'proof of purchase' of said space??

    And where did he think you were taking it to....

    Yeah, so we fix a gold plate to a car, then everyone gets the exemption, not just the primo driver the exemption applies to.

    And to scan a Licence we'd have to 3T everyone, even the ones with exemptions, just to see if they had an exemption or not.

    Tel ya what Drew, PM me and I'll send you a get out of jail free card. You can redeem it any time I stop you, as long as you hand over a donut voucher.

    You Bike God, you.

    You ass-hole, do you realise you have now cruely squashed the pipe-dream of quite a few KB members??

    How unthinking of you....have you no heart?

    I'll clarify. I expect my troops to turn up and do what they are paid to do. That's as close as I've ever got to telling them how many tickets to write.

    The standard answer when a punter accuses us of having a quota is "Nah, I reached my quota before morning tea, I'm writing this one for fun".

    With me it's "They're not like paua mate, there's no quota, I can write out as many as I like..."

    Then again I am all heart.

    Haha, on a motorway with a decent number of lanes there could be one for each speed category of driver/rider. Isn't that how the German autobahns work where the law of the jungle applies - if you're not trying to do 300km/hr in a Porsche, Merc or some Italian car, then get outta the fast lane. Novices and pussies, stay in the slow lanes.

    My pet favourite here is truck on truck action up hills - e.g. Ngauranga Gorge - how often do you find all the brake lights coming on as cars slow down or try and get around the truck that is passing the truck - one doing 25 the other doing 30, while the cars are trying to keep to the speed limit of 80. The trucks (and buses) should be allowed to drive only in the left lane until they get to the top of the hill. This is a bit like a MotoGP prototype catching up to a CRT when there is a 50 or 60km/hr speed differential.

    Cat and scummy, remember if ya tickets don't work on that keep left thing don't forget to recommend to ya bosses those yankee "don't back up" spikes to stop people travelling the wrong way in a lane.
    Cheers

    I have noticed that many highways in Queensland have signs mandating that trucks must drive in the left lane. There are even some roads where trucks are forbidden between 4:00 and 6:00 pm.
    Time to ride

    Do the job they're paid to do.

    An original concept ... in the New Zealand workplace.
