Ohh but wait it was baby kaz's fault for crying and distracvting me,The fog was bad,I wasn't used to the van, The wind was blowing from behind. not my fault why should I pay! Actually I wasn't paying attention and those bongo vans suprised me-loaded down with stuff doing 115km/h

i recently got pulled over 70 in a 50 i drive that road twice a day everyday and have done for the last 15 years.my only excuse was that the speed limit had been dropped about 6 months earlier,i admitted that it was no excuse.he let me away with a warning and told me the money was better in my pocket than john key's.

Last time I got pulled over for speeding was doing 59kmph down the line somewhere in an old LTD with three Maoris in the car, he said he had to do some checks and came back a few minutes later, I thought he was going to let me go but he gave me a $30 ticket, which I almost found laughable because it wouldn't even cover costs.He then asked me if I had any questions at all and I bit my toungue but was so tepted to ask him if he knew of any decnt caffes in the area.

You lawless heathen, Kaz.
Outrageous.

Oh yeah, sorry. I'll try again.
Bloody revenue gatherers bugging an honest (*ahem*) businessman going about his day. John Key has a lot to answer for with these quotas from the filth who have nothing better to do. It's not like you were breaking a clearly set and understood set of rules. And the sun was in your eyes (John Key's fault again).
Better!

Oh, sorry. That entire post was sarcasm,
I have the same attitude as Kaz - "I was breaking the rules, I got caught and I got a ticket"

It's not that you were speeding. It's that you were driving a jungle bus.

Actually, that's probably right.
Did it have curtains, Kaz!

Downhill with a following wind. Show the ticket to someone intested in buying it. It'll convince them its a sportscar in van clothing.

I got a ticket once - couldn't understand it at all.Was totally in the air over a railway crossing in a 50 area.Didn't know MOT (as it was then) could issue tickets when vehicle not actually on the roadway!I reckon i was doing in excess of 100 but ticket was for 60 so just smiled and yes sir never again sir etc etc etc.

I remember flying through the air in an HR wagon once. It was alright until hitting the road again at which point everything in the rear shifted. A lesson learned although I wouldn't say it sank in too deep.

Yep, I got one there for 51km/hr, 21 over, when they were doing the roadworks that lasted for well over a year.They left the cones out after all was said and done for about just as long as the works themselves, nothing that even remotely could be called roadworks was being done, cones though, lapse.
