    Signed it, for all the good it will do.....

    Maybe but it certainly shows the agenda being pushed in behind the scene?

    Who comes up with this crazy shit. My respect for the force has definatly taken a big dive with this lot?

    Still worth signing after a quick read i reckon even if its now back at 4k

    Its just a ploy to make us feel lucky to have a 4k limit that they will make permanent and double the fine to 60 soon.
    30 isn't enough tax.

    Why do partitions need tolerances? They just separate 2 sides. If they have tolerances, how do we know what side starts where?

    These partitions are fairly accurate but even being laser cut they have a +/- 3% tolerance in use which means they cannot guarantee 100mm. Allowing a 4mm tolerance gives them a little leeway, if they said 101mm and it was actually 100mm there could be a bit of bother.

    Not helped of course by the owners tape measure having an even greater degree of tolerance meaning they don't even know what 100mm is.



    And then in the corner while everyone is measuring the partition the office gets burgled. Go figure.

    Maybe signing wont change stupid speed fixation of NZ police......
    but maybe its a start....
    doing nothing definitely wont make a difference.
    I am all for some serious action.....

    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    I missed something. When did the zero tolerance start being enforced on the road? Who got the first ticket for 1,kmh over?

    Even at 4kmh, that's about 2/3 of walking pace over the limit. Only a sick mind would be happy to issue a ticket for that big a crime.

    wonder if they still can stomach looking in the mirror.....

    FFS, learn to spell.

    A partition is a light, non-load bearing wall.

    True, and proper speeding is in excess of 120kmh, not approximately the speed a cow walks at.
