It's a good argument. Burglaries too.

It's because the government determined that road fatalities were the biggest cause of non-natural death in NZ and have skewed resource management and the penalty scale that way.

you wouldnt care less when they are avoiding a ticket and kill you/your mamma/your child..yea rite

[wbks]

I wouldn't care less when they ride away not much faster than normal because the cop didn't take chase. I do care when they sell my family/loved ones P and therefore become shitheads and turn my family and my life into a freakshow for two years. Meanwhile the cops are off chasing revenue.

I take it you believe P-heads never ride/drive and exceed the speed limit??(Tuis moment here)

+1 The realities of our Clean Green, ( Yea write) Society is sinking very fast, the programme/focus of our culture needs to be re united asap

It would still take 20 years from now to bring back the good old Kiwi ( Apart from few still here)

wtf does this have to do with anything? You would rather have the police focus on chasing (which only makes a driver/rider more dangerous) a few speeders who happen to be pheads or just behave like it than the people who are creating that drug and creating a violent culture?

All of what i typed in my last post was true. I have seen what P does in a family and relationship and it makes me worry a little more than some cop missing out on giving a speeder a nice fine. So does hearing of a family car being cut in half by a bike that was being chased by a cop. The biker was a shithead no doubt but chasing him after he has failed to stop only increases the risk.

The fastest speeding tickets I have issued have been to 'P-head' users.

As I said 'Do you think P-heads never ride/drive and exceed the speed limit?'



Go figure..if we didn't chase and they were p-heads speeding do you think they would slow down/drive safer because we were not going to chase them??

Wouldn't it be good to take them off the road??

[HenryDorsetCase]

o-ho! perhaps they aren't that bright down south, and keep going down the same road, in plain sight of the pursuing coppa?

Or perhaps they don't even think twice about running, afraid to incur the wrath of the mighty cop of the south?

I would have thought that anyone being chased by SD would have MORE incentive to give it the berries..... he might be naked!

[HenryDorsetCase]

just as an aside, I got pinged yesterday at 122 on the "open" road. Its going to cost me $170 (which is nothing, I dont care about velocity tax). What rips my undies is the 35 demerit points. Having said that I wasnt mad at the cop for pulling me over, I was annoyed with myself for putting myself in a position where I was in a situation where I could be pulled over. I did briefly consider legging it, but decided to just take my lumps. I was at the beginning of a long couple of straights before a windy bit and I was looking at the cars ahead thinking if I can catch them I can pass on the straight and have the windy bits to myself. Wasnt focussed on the oncoming traffic as much as I should have and got done. My fault, pure and simple.

The cop was excellent, and a really nice guy, I asked if he would like to let me off with a warning, but sadly not. We had a nice chat and went our separate ways. Cest La Vie. Apart from that, a lovely day out.

I think they wouldn't make as many crashes as when they are being pushed into legging it even harder when they discover you aren't going away. Why not just get their plates and get them later when they are off the road? I just think it makes more sense to target the source of the problem and the more major problems than take focus off that stuff for tickets. I apreciate that you cops can't just go all leathal weapon and shoot every drug user and gang member in the eye when you see them. Thats not my problem, i just think the way there seems to be more police focus on road offenses than other things is wrong. e.g why pull out all the stops-dogs-choppers-spikestrips for runners when you could be using that money on more important issues than a shredded licence

Now, when you said "naked", when talking about cops, I couldn't help thinking about that swimming scene in Wild Hogs...

I ould normally say you come accross realy well on here BUT

If you chase a criminall, they are GOING to run, That is normall! That then puts the rest of society at risk as well, even more than by just the speeding driver on there own not being chased only PEEDING

Wippy bloody do, Look at the old prime ministers car, how many of your loyal Police officers chased that Car?

Road police are just about making money NOW

How many cars have you pulled over for Tail gateing lately? that is one of the most dangerous driving moves on the road, in fact, how many OLD people driving a 85kph have you pulled over to check there compitency. NONE?

A major crash fact in NZ is head ons, why, impatient drivers that make moves in desperation due to Tail gaters and slow old drivers

If you cannot drive at the speed limit on NZ roads, YOU cannot drive safelp simply raly, our roads are a ok for the speed limit

I see so many red lighters....the number of times I have stopped and the car behind just carries on...agree the tailgating too...cars trying to pass me on the inside on a single lane...amd more...none of which get punished....but Scumdog still deserves the

In order of comment:

So you say we just ignore criminals - even those tailgatiing - because they will run??

I wrote out a seatbelt ticket on Friday, first ticket in two weeks, shoot, THAT'S making money isn't it?


So you think I'm qualified and have the time to judge old peoples competency? - you opened up a minefield there sonny (remember, with luck you too could get to be old).

'Major crash cause is impatient driver (now there's somebody who SHOULD be off the road) caused by 'Tail gaters and old drivers' you say? Bollocks!

More are cause by incompetent impatient drivers/fuckwits who shouldn't be on the road 'cause they're txting/eating etc, are fuckwits who are on the road when they should be sleeping (and do so while driving) and other idjits who think THEIR mission/destination is SO important that a risky overtaking movement is worth it to get them there 5 minutes earlier. BFD.

And ALL of 'em have some really 'good' (read: pathetic - and I know I've had a 'win' when the loser says 'nobody was killed so why aren't you out there catching real criminals) excuse when pulled over as a result of *555/mufti car etc caching them out - although sadly for some it's the resulting crash that catches them out.
