Speeding yes, excessive & unsafe , NO I often drive as close as I can to 50kmh speed limit. I'll get a huge line of impatient drivers behind me though. When the traffic cops start telling us they'll give tickets for going even a few kmh over 50, thats when it becomes a nonsense . If I have to constantly watch my speedo instead of the road , so I dont go 3kmh over, thats hardly safe driving is it. Modern cars simply dont feel like they are speeding at 62kmh , thats another issue I guess. Unless constantly looking down at the speedo, you wont know your at 62khm. And some manuals arnt happy at 50kmh |

| 1437909 | 2017-08-11 00:00:00 | Have you checked your speedo agains the roadside LED panels or using GPS on your phone? Our school van (Toyota Hi Ace) is 10K out so to do 50K, I drive at 60KPH. Our Econovan is spot on and I got a ticket for doing 60K one morning in it, when the Toyota had a faulty battery, bummer that was! :mad::mad: Ken :banana |

If it's a fair cop then I'd pay. However, when you get a ticket for speeding in New Zealand and at the time 'you' were clocked you happened to be in a plane on the runway leaving Brisbane then it's gloves on. It was a rental car we had previously used to get us to the Auckland airport. Even though we had undeniable proof, the department kept telling us again and again to pay up or else!! I began to see what it must be like to be charged for a crime I didn't do. It finally took a friend, who is a JP, to sort them out. It should never have come to that. Turned out the speedster was an employee of the rental car company who didn't want to own up.:mad: |
