Tickets, and lots of them have the most impact. Of course there are people who just don't care. but warnings are evenless likely to influence them.

"Have a nice evening!"

Some countries have Yeti's, some have Bigfoot.....
Some people believe in toothfairies some in Santa...

You can have the lot.....
I want desperately to believe in this mythical Wairarapa goddess .......

That will be my excuse when speeding around the lower North Island anyway......

None taken! I just figured, hell, if you're lucky enough to get off of a ticket, who knows what could happen!

Yin and Yang, and all of that.
The "Ginger" and now the "Lovely".

A phone number would be nice.

Nice One Hitcher, but i'm sure that your approach to this situation with the correct attitude was the thing that won the day.

Just a quick question for you officers here - If the officer in the scenario above had no 'evidence' (i.e. readout on speed gun), could this be taken as an admission of guilt leading to a fine?

From reading internet boards

I have always taken that the key is to deny everything until they hit you with some evidence.

Honesty is the best policy. I reckon you get a sense of how the conversation is likely to go early on. Generally I know if I'm pulled over that I'm fucked. Last night I knew I would have been over the limit, and I was genuinely surprised by the amount. Cops have got space-age kit in their cars that is more likely to be right than wrong, particularly when you are the only object moving faster than a ferociously grazing Friesian in the whole county. If I thought that there was reasonable cause for doubt, like a hairdresser in an MX5 furiously accelerating in the general direction of my date, or a benevolent planetary alignment reducing my drag coefficient, I would have mentioned that as a topic for consideration.

Why is it that the unavailable older guys meet the cute cops AND get let off.

I'm single, love girlies in uniform, and I get the guy cops, that would love to nail my arse to a wall, but will be satisfied with a ticket.

yes... jealous and bitter all in one twisted package
