| 615500 | 2007-11-26 22:28:00 | If you talking about the handheld laser guns that cops use, then no.....But if the cop writes you out a ticket for speeding, then of course he would have his copy of the ticket. Are they destroyed after you have paid the ticket...probably not..Most likely sent to LTNZ who will then tell us speeding is the number one cause of all accidents. Have a look at the police web site which should tell you more. Why do you ask by the way. |

| 615501 | 2007-11-26 22:42:00 | mind you a local cop would reconise your car and proberly keep it in mind for later on. it would also depend on what they are doing. they could be doing speed checking ie hiding and seeing what the traffic is doing to see if its worth setting up a check point etc. or if they are double teaming (one with rader and catch car down the road further). don't speed then you don't have to give a @#$% what they are doing ;) |

| 615502 | 2007-11-27 04:00:00 | I stopped speeding last week. So far it's stuck. It's really not easy though, I liken it to cigarette addiction though most smokers would probably laugh at me for that.... |

| 615504 | 2007-11-27 05:23:00 | How far were you going over the limit ? 10-20 over usually, sometimes more if I was in a hurry and it was a clear road, but I got into the habit of going very fast on the motorway at night whenever I was coming back from my friend's house in the Hutt. I just really enjoy going fast, but I have to get out of the habit before I get a massive ticket, or have my insurance go up, or worse, crash. For the record though, I would never ever go over the speed limit near pedestrians, schools, etc. Basically, nothing that would endanger anybody else. |

| 615507 | 2007-11-27 08:31:00 | Read this the other day: Top this for a speeding ticket...Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the A1 Great NorthRoad. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it. Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in a low-flying exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North Sea. Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff complaint to the RAF Liaison office. Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style: 'Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Tornado had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it. Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the pilot flying the Tornado recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed. |
