730337 2008-12-17 22:55:00 Man talk about revenue gathering - Just received two damn so called speeding tickets - both in a 50K area - one for being over by 5 KM/h and the other for 4 KM/h

And this is on a road that if you drive at 50 you get passed as if you are standing still :groan:

730338 2008-12-17 22:57:00 I would think that with those figures it would have been near a school. Sweep (90)
730339 2008-12-17 22:58:00 Yeah that sucks somewhat! I wonder how many others got pinged?

730340 2008-12-17 23:04:00 I would think that with those figures it would have been near a school. Nope : I remember where the area is - and from memory at the time I thought it odd there was a Van parked in an unusual place - must have been a damn mufti.

But the road is open - no schools, houses, only scrub and the Odd lamp Post.

One consolation the idiot that passed me a few corners before must have gotten pinged good - he went past me and gave the finger for me going too slow like he was on a race track.

730341 2008-12-17 23:08:00 yup - mitsi L200 vans with VERY dark tinted (ie illegal to any civillian car) windows parked anywhere on the side of the road will most likley be a camera

last week was in milton with a mate to pick up his new car

we went to dunedin to get tea and we had the new car for about 5 mintes and FLASH goes the van and we knew he got snapped - was doing 55 in a 50 zone

still waiting for the ticket to arrive :o

Thats probably why then. Decided to do something about the continual speeders.............

730343 2008-12-17 23:12:00 Probably because their revenue would have fallen because of the carry over of high petrol prices, even though it has come down a lot!

I know I drive a lot slower than I used to a couple of years ago.

SWMBO keeps says.. "Can't you go a bit faster you silly old coot"

I think she :wub's me

730344 2008-12-17 23:18:00 Yep its stupid. It doens't take many of those little ones to lose your license either. :( Past schools - fine I have no problem with that. But in your average 50kmh area - nup. :(

Just yesterday I was following a cop thorugh Mot, 55kph the whole way, even touching 60 a few times. And he wasn't going anywhere - at the end of high street he turned around and went right back. It's BS, just quietly.

730345 2008-12-17 23:22:00 Yip I hate the police and it's things like this that justify my hate 4km/h 5km/h that's just crazy, they should be out catching real criminals. radium (8645)
730346 2008-12-17 23:27:00 I thought you had to be going 5km/h or more over the speed limit to get a fine? --Wolf-- (128)
