Busted? Help!

BEWARE... Most Insurance companies state, their policys are void if the claimant was "under the influence of alcohol". That does NOT mean, was over the legal limit. If the reading is over 0, you are under the influence, NOT insured, and may be liable for damage YOU caused. Even if it wasn't YOUR fault.
If you do drink and then drive, AVOID anything expensive !!!

there are riders that don't accept that riding a motorcycle comes with it's own set of risks.

It's very subjective as to how far you go and what method you use to do the mitigation.

I'm not advocating using the road for my own extreme sport (200kph in an urban area is just plain stupid).

I've never had an accident that wasn't at least partially my own fault and I've never been injured or injured anyone else as a result of an accident (unless you count a grazed knee).

I don't believe in negotiating with kidnappers. The only long term solution is to show them that it won't work.

There's an expression "Putting an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff". Personally I'd rather have an ambulance at the bottom than a line of cops at the top blocking the view.

Most people would far rather take the freeby and just don't understand what it's costing them. This is a consequence of evolution trying to keep us alive be reducing the amount of energy required.

Maybe we're not too dissimilar after all. I will admit to being somewhat of an idealist.

I do. I just don't accept that the speed I happen to be doing should be the sole determining factor in this from a legal standpoint.

Motorcycling is dangerous. The risks anybody takes is their choice ALONE... and THEIRS the responsibility.

If they are aware of what their actions may RESULT in, MITIGATION will never be an issue.

SOME DO !!!

ALL accidents can be blamed PARTIALLY on one's OWN self. Not watching, not noticing, Not thinking. Not EXPECTING...
EXPERIENCE helps...a bit.

I am familar with A&E. Scars to show (prove) it.My blood group is O neg. I do donate and have ACCEPTED donations (just was not aware of it at the time(s) )

I'm ex army, we had methods of dealing with THOSE people...

I'd rather have the ambulance FOLLOWING.

Not evolution, just LAZY, and no, they DON'T realise, maybe never will... Their loss.

NOTHING wrong with ideals, keeps ya HUMAN.

I try to ride safe myself. 1200cc motorcycles make this difficult (at times), and from a legal standpoint, at this time, it is.

EVERYBODY..... IF EVERYONE RIDES TO/WITHIN THEIR OWN ABILITY, MORE OF US WILL LIVE TO OLD AGE. SOME WILL DIE. (sad fact of life) TRY HARD FOR IT NOT TO BE YOU !!!

Please ride safe. AND TAKE CARE !!!

Lucky you live in the soft North eh?

Down here you may well not have been so lucky...

[hospitalfood]

i had a good case, but my main point is :- fight !

if you get done, well you probably asked for it. but so what !
we all do the best we can to pay as little tax as possible.....but when it comes to tickets some get all moralistic and say dumb working class shit like "do the crime, do the time".......suckers !

i just got let off a $510.00 speeding ticket, thanks to good advice and support from fellow KB members ( one in particular ).

so wise up you losers who take it like a bitch, fight the revenue gathering quota system.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Two bikes booked on one reading??!

No it's not pete fought his one but lost and anyway buy the time it got to court he had his licence back anyway.

[kiwifruit]

he must fight like a girl

[swbarnett]

No it's not pete fought his one but lost ...

A negative outcome does not mean the fight was unwarranted.

[hospitalfood]

[Max Preload]

[jafar]

You mean naked in a paddling pool filled with jelly?

When you meet pete you will realise how seriously unfunny that visual is

[bully]

so, how did you get off, what was the way round it?

[nico]

yes do tell who you managed to get of said trafic infrigment,

[Eddieb]

2 of us just lost our licences. allegedly passed an undercover car at 142 ( radar reading )
instant 28 day loss of licence + fines ( $510 )

dont tell us, we know. we are bad boys.

wondering if it is ok to book both of us on 1 radar reading???

Could depend on what radar he was using.

I was done recently coming into Hunterville and was 2nd car in a queue, the cop explained how the radar had picked up the speeds of both front vehicles and that he could tell what speed both were individually from the one radar lock.

I asked him to show me on the unit and once he had taken all the details he gave me a practical demonstration of it working on traffic coming down the road. The unit clearly showed in different display windows at the same time the speeds of 2 vehicles coming towards him traveling directly one behind the other.

Dunno the technical details of how it works but it seems to.

[Ixion]

Not quite. It shows the speed of the fastest vehicle. And the speed of the most powerful radar reflector (ie the strongest signal). Those are the two readings, the speed of the fastest vehicle and the speed of the 'strongest' vehicle.

But there is no way for the unit to tell which of the two vehicles matches the "fastest" reading. And the same vehicle may be both fastest and strongest. Also, the largest vehicle is not necessarily strongest, it depends on the amount of metal and angles and stuff.

If two bikes are following each other , both doing about the same speed, one bike will show as fastest. Could be the first, or the second, no way to tell, other than the cops eye (ie if one is obviously going much faster). The first bike will usually show as strongest signal, just because it is closer, but there can be exceptions to that.
