Also, you can only impound a vehicle from a Failing to Stop for 7 days.

Wow, you reming me of someone I used to know, samll COCK, short guy, ego problems, WHAT A COCK!

(The old boy network wins another one).
Then the Govt threatens the owners with seeking costs against them unless they give up their right of appeal.
If this isn't morally corrupt I don't know what is.

Don't get me started. Not only did they lose, but THIS government wound up the BIA as they knew they would eventually get hammered. They're just a bad as the bloody developers winding up their companies. Corrupt Government scum.

Well done though for dredging up an 18 month old thread ... maybe soon you could start your own.

Cant recommnend running - but if one was going to - ......

1) Your only running (failing to stop) if you "agree" that you saw them asking you to stop in the first place.
2) If you make the decision , make it fast & keep as calm as possible
3) Once you are out of site pull off the road, up a drive, whatever - but getting out of site & hiding for an hour or so is a good idea - as they have a habit of radioing there mates in the vicinity which lock down the whole area pretty quick
4) Be aware that joe blo public in their tin tops have a nasty habit of "keeping an eye on you" & will dob you in to the law given a chance.
4) Take the long way home when you do venture out from your hideeehole again
5) However - If you think they have made a clear ID on your plate STOP

Hang on; he was referring to a cop wasn't he? I thought they were all thick-skinned and tough-as. That sort of petty b/s would surely be water off a ducks back to one of our finest. They get it all the time...nah, there'd be no offence (sic) taken, for sure.

BOT:

We used to run from the MOT guys all the time in Wellington, it was almost a sport. Wouldn't bother trying on my FXR though, the bike just isn't up to it. Besides, I'm over that shit and more in touch with my mortality these days, plus I have to consider the needs of my family. I will, however, take the cops on in the courtroom. Plead not guilty to everything, go for minor technicalities, jam the system and at least get them off the road for a few hours. It's a much safer sport and you get the pleasure of making them work for their 'instant' fines.

Yep, I grew up in CHCH, it was just the same.

I remember in about 1982-ish I had an XJ650, it was way faster than the cops Holden Belmonts.

Then one day a cop showed up with a Commodore. I ran (of course) and was sure it was no faster.

But I got a bit lost, and ended up in a trap - the cop was between me and the main road.

So I switched off and waited.

The cop turned the car off, and hopped out, bright pink with anger. I knew I was in trouble, he was adjusting his hat over and over, and generally drawing it out, swaggering towards me with his ticket book.

Then, we heard a whoosh. We both looked at his car - when he turned it off, the fan stopped (not electric like today, but driven off the engine).

So the super-heated Holden after a big run, boiled.

I saw no reason to assist, hey, I wasn't carrying any spare water, so I left.

Spent a week looking over my shoulder in case he got my rego, but my plate was never that easy to read, seemed to get dirty quickly and never heard anything.

What can we do? Burecureacy rules unfortunately. Theres this one officer who patrols from Orewa to Albany, I just hope he has a daughter .... So I can sleep with her and not call her back.

This thread brings up the "flip up number plate gadget mod" ticking around my brain again.

I only run if the bacon has not seen my plate. The way I see it, I got a lot of reasons to run... the fines.. the impound and the lack of transport to work etc etc etc... Would also have to be doing something pretty stupid though. If I was doing 61k in a 50 then I would stop... but (dare I say it) if I left my other brain cell at home and was being stupid... and was doing "lose license" speeds then I make the call to run or stop.

Helps to have a spare helmet too... wear it for a few days after a "run"

..not that i've needed to

If ya gonna run you shouldn't have to do break neck speeds. Its more a brains thing than a how fast can I go where did I put my oversize balls thing.
If a cruiser has spotted you and you take the appropriate action they will be left wondering which way

I reckon you souldn't have to break the law to avoid it.
