    Do bouncers get confused if you show them a firearms licence when they ask you for ID?



    I might have to stick to drinking at home. Being the youthful-looking chap that I am, etc.

    I overtook someone who took exception to me overtaking them for some reason. My radar detector went off so I eased off. The bugger shot past me in a blaze of fury and got pinged by a Yellow and White coming the other way.

    I laffed.

    They're the best ones - I slow down and 'tootle with vigour' and wave as I pass...

    Thats why you always overtake on a corner, preferably blind as those pasing lanes just are not safe from cops.

    The chance of a cop parking or being able to see/ get a radar is greatly reduced on corners.

    Rember the golden rule. Redline To the Deadline.

    These are voluntary fines if the cop used radar to measure your speed.

    The radar will report the strongest and fastest signal to the operator.

    But when there are multiple vehicles in the beam, the ticket can be defended with a high probability of success, as radar is not approved for use in this mode.

    Prove there were multiple vehicles in the beam. Your word against the copper. Not a hope in hell mate. Aside from that, either way you're losing wages in court whilst arguing the toss and risking additional fine & court fees.

    Yet another cop I passed ignored the fucktard ("My SSS" or something stupid like that on his plate) driving at 100km/h just 2 feet from my car boot this morning outside Morrinsville. Speed's one thing but it really fuckin irks me when they can't be arsed pulling folks for things that are properly dangerous.

    The fine was ridiculous, $1800 and they even took away my licence, my only form of ID. No sense of humour...
    How did they catch you, or even see you if you were doing 255?
    Ride fast or be last.

    Ha ha...If you are passing someone, it's not rocket science to deduce that there were two vehicles in the beam...

    And you assume thats its your word against the cop.

    That pre-supposes that the cop will tell a lie in court over something as minor as a speeding ticket.

    Its your choice. You can pay every ticket you get. I don't care. But this would be a ticket worth defending.

    But how accurate are our speedos really . Its just revenue gathering i say . I once asked a cop what happens if you overtake someone at 80 - 90 kmph and you get up to over 100 kmph and got caught , would you issue a ticket . He said yes as you spose to overtake safely as possiable doing under the speed limit
