    This says to me that you think people should just stick to the law irrespective of the moral implications. Or am I wrong in thinking you meant "don't speed".

    When I was still gainfully employed there was a trial where all of our vehicles were fitted with GPS. I never heard the result. There would have been some inconclusive results, not because of sabotage, but just because some people should not be allowed anywhere near a motor vehicle. Or a computer, or...
    I'm aware of at least one company who took them out due to "technical issues". The issue being that if they left them in and stuck to company policy they'd technically have no fucking employees. And this was over just 6 months.

    Amazing what 100% non-compliance can do to any given authority's compliance policies.

    We've had people dismissed from GPS readings, not just for speeding but for being places they shouldn't be at times they shouldn't be

    One Aussie infrastructure multinational tried to sack one of their staff for using the company ute on a weekend. He'd taken it down his drive to wash it.

    They actually did give him a formal written warning. See if you can guess which company's whole fleet now looks like shit.

    It is not an easy comparison to compare an unjust law with one that had been implicitly agreed to.

    Worth having a look at some of the routes then and watching how the same vehicle was pinged several times on the same trip indicating the driver doesn't believe in the mantra being put out by their bosses but rather that there is a time and a place where it can be 'safe' to exceed the posted speed limit. Fair enough in my view. Doing it in the work car is a bit daft, if you get a ticket the boss will see it and you'll get a talking to. Doing it in an NZTA vehicle just shows that the driver is a retard.

    I don't often drive work vehicles any more, but when I do I take my time.
    2 reasons.
    1 it doesn't look good when you punt a company car into the side of another car. Especially if the owner of the other car is s regular client.
    2 when your getting paid by the hour what's the rush?

    I worked with you in the '80's. One of the "senior" guys at my job would drive the work Vauxhall Chevette on the open road at 80kph. In third. "What's the hurry? we get paid by the hour".. plus if it takes us long enough we get overtime.....

    I still remember the whine the thing used to make.

    I spun the car 360 degrees on a wet road pressing on with cars parked either side. Didn't hit one. Unbefuckingleivable.

    Apologies. It seems I read your post in completely the wrong context.

    Interesting point.

    The public at large may have implicitly agreed to it but I sure as hell didn't.

    The laws regarding speed on public roads are definitely an order of magnitude less oppressive than legalised racism but the principle is the same - the majority imposing their ideology on the minority when the "illegal" actions of the said minority do absolutely no harm to anyone, especially the said majority.

    True.
    A pedal car would still be dangerous in his hands if he's that dumb.

    And Monique sez he's dumb.

    Only if it is a speed camera and it gets sent to head office, if you're stopped and it's given to you then they dont see it

    It may have happened to me a couple of times
