Speeding ticket advice?

[c4.]

Next time just lean on the horn and flash your high beam, most civilised countries the slowpoke will pull over. I'm on a personal crusade in Auckland to educate overtaking lane hogs.

Or you could tell the courts you were under the amerous attentions of your fine lady wife and a leg cramp hit where you temporarily exceeded the posted speed limit before you safely returned to 100kms, luckily no one was hurt. Think of the children.. Why does no one think of the children????

But seriously, have you got that bike to the track yet, been watching for ya but haven't seen you.....yet.

Whats the difference in punishment between 115 and 127? Is it worth disputing? Is your speedo accurate?

Extra $110 and 15 more demerits (from memory...)

Been there, done that. You're pretty much fucked and unless you're getting enough points to lose your license it's not worth the time off work or risk of additional court costs. Also agree that writing to the fuzz is a waste of fuckin time. If you're gonna argue it...you gotta do it in court.

The lying popo's (luckily the minority) are gonna get caught on cam one day.

[Berries]

Absolutely agree, the place to argue tickets is the court, not the Popo, and not KB.

Nah, KB is exactly the place to argue it. Entertainment with a capital F.

If I was overtaking that would be a speed I would get up to or even more as the longer you have to spend on the other side of the road the more likely you are to end up dead in a head on. With this being in the left lane the urgency from a safety perspective is not there so a lower overtaking speed could be understandable. Why does in the case of an overtaking manuevere the speed limit not be allowed higher I wonder?

'cause even if one is overtaking, one is not supposed to exceed the speed limit.

Obviously safety is not an important factor in this proceedure.

hey guys I'm all for the whole do the crime -do the time thing. But I have to ask a strictly legal type question.
If ou are pulled over by a patrol car for a speeding offence and you Quite specifically request to sight the speed reading.
If the officer is unuable to show you the locked radar,speedo etc where do you stand legally.
The specific situation was that i was on the motorway in the "fast" lane and a car was in front doing 90-95 km/h.
After following for a distance with no sighn of the other driver pulling over I pulled left and accellerated to 110-115km/h-Mrs kaz was beside me and noticed the speed. Local patrol car was following -pulled us over and claimed I was doing 127 km/h.
I said nope maybee 115 during the overtake but no more. Can I see the locked speedo reading. officer said nope I unlocked it after locking at 127 "I dont lie"
Again hey no question it was a fair cop at 110 maybee 115 but not 127.

you are a weasly chock nob suck it up you were speeding end of story

Its almost 100% certain he lied.

The Radar cant lock fastest target, only strongest target. This is because the manufacturer recognises that doppler radar can't be used when there are multiple vehicles in the beam. There are a lot of technical reasons for this, but if the policeman has claimed he locked you, when you were the fastest target, but a larger slower target - the car was there, he is telling a fib.

Really??

Here is your expert witness.

Get him to court and he will help you get off, without charging you a cent.

Yeah Right!

Here is a screen shot of the NZ Police Stalker Manual. It seems pretty clear.

Not really, how about you explain from your point of view.

[Madness]

I lost my licence because of a lying asshole like you have encountered. His word as a cop was all it took. Next time do a runner.

Hehehe. You haven't become cynical in your old age have you bud?

So far you're failing miserably. As a Wellingtonian living in Auckland (I always get that out there IRL) I find the attitude of Auckland motorway users quite shocking in this regard. I think it's time for large caliber firearms.

This thread is heading towards epic.

Damn, a missed opportunity to issue a ticket for failing to keep left.

Not like that ever happens in NZ though.


Frosty, the NW is a real bad example of retards who can't "keep left". Sadly.

It was pretty clear until the latest model handset appeared. The new handset can lock the fastest reading.
