The reason Police enforce them is because they are are the LAW. **Ahem**...read it again Quick_Stix (not sure why you have two 'are's' in there though :) )

theres 2 "are's" because sometimes i like to pretend I am a pirate

The emphasis is on the LAW part. Police enforce the road rules / law ...

So I think its good, you think its bad, merely a difference of opinion...whats your problem? Does everyone have to think the same as you?? I never said Police are the law, I always stated they enforce the law. I dont know why you think I have a bad attitude, all i have been doing is arguing the ...

Haha!! its funny you said that, i saw a bloke with one on his bike today and immediately thought of you!! And no i didnt pull him up and give him a ticket...but the lady that went straight through a stop sign did get one. I dont know how many points it is, if any, but remember QLD is completely ...

I'd be happy to, but it would be mainly focussed on NSW.

Yes i would like a hug...

Just So you know, radars are callibrated with the %age allowed for error plus a bit in the drivers favour.

And yes police do look at common sense shit as mentioned by the good strika. Especially mobile phones :twisted: . But also like they say, its only ilegal if you get ...

No it includes things like a pregnant woman being driven to hospital doing 140 in a 110 zone.

Nah mate thats old school we dont have quotas anymore, we can give as many as we want!!

As for demerits and discretion, its advised that there must be extenuating circumstances for warnings or other non formal action being taken with respect to offences involving loss of demerit points.

So last year, when the Media made the Victorian public aware of things like a Datsun 120Y being issued with a speeding fine for 170kph in the Burnley Tunnell, and the vistorian government then had to recind millions of dollars in fines due to incorrect operation of the recording device, that was ...

If thats your opinion, good on ya then. Obviously I did not realise that you are in sales and therefore an expert on road craft. road design and legislation...i thought you were going off what people had told you :roll: If thinking from the perspective of upholding the law is thinking like a robot ...

what new computer system?? do you know something none of us do?? and if there was a new system, all the old data is transferred across as was done every other time.

[quote="biggles08"]After knowing my partner is German, you personally attacked me/us with loose lipped comments regarding Germany and their history. So once again Quick_Stix you are the one who fails to see reality as the rest of us can....BTW, I noticed you have no answers regarding my comments on ...

Buddy you were the one who brought politics into the arena when you started talking about germany and what their government does.

Obviously you have nothing else so you have resorted to a personal attack...well done genious

I have travelled that section of highway since 1980, at 130kmh, in total and absolute safety. If speed killed, I would have died a thousand deaths by now. It is safe at 130kmh, it was designed for vehicles to use safely at 130kmh, yet the speed limit is 110kmh. It is no coincidence that the ...

That whole "point the finger at the ediot" is a pretty irresponsible point of view from a government of a country. I dont know about germany, but here the government is responsible for the safety of the population. Maybe Germans still want to kill off the jews or are still upset that they lost the ...

So you are a police man (i presume) that would never give discretion to a motorist or biker because you are there to merely 'enforce the law' not make it according to your admission.

regarding your grandmother, discretion is a major player in Policing. Without discretion, Policing would not work ...
