pul up alongside you at the lights, rev their engines and egg you on to drag them and then pull you over for speeding and reckless driving as soon as you tear off at the green!

Wouldn't you see their uniforms!

xs1100, Mar 12, 7:20pm
wouldnt you get all serious and hard and rev it like anything and then putt off like a little old lady.

msj23, Mar 12, 7:24pm

Why would it be low! What sort of mufti was it!
Was it the really hard to recognise poverty pack Commodore with the giveaway rectangle boxes containing red & blue lights on the dash & on the rear parcel tray!

xs1100, Mar 12, 7:41pm
hahaha not allowed badge has to be showingand the real mufti cops dont bother with traffic infringments unless really bad

I dont understand the placement of this comment and. you can race against the clock and/or do a bye run.1 car.

lol, had a cop pull that on me back in the late 60's, on a bike, I was young and silly, he was on a triumph fully kitted cop bike, me on an ariel 650, he beat me and I was actually trying hard, took the next turn left and thought I'd got away with it, he knew of me well enough to be waiting at home that night, ( most wanganui cops knew me -dunno why) gave me a lecture and we spent an hour or so tuning my bike to perform better next time

msj23, Mar 12, 8:01pm
I was scared. The cop was really angry

Whats so special about a rfrb legacy with 230k on the clock!

A GTB with no rfrb might be somewhat

Not universally true - Tamaki DRive is a mufti-magnet. Particularly near the OBC.

skin1235, Mar 13, 6:09am
common misconception, like the one where they had to be wearing their hat ( back when traffic poilice had hats as part of uniform) or they cannot stop you if they are off duty ( they can and will if it warrents it)
there is no regulation that badge or hat or uniform at all has to be visible - although you have always had the right to ask to see thir warrent if approached by them - and they will always carry that - even when off duty, if they do not or will not produce it you can drive off
your defence is that they failed to identify themselves as an officier

correct.

they only race for a 1 km these days then its your cue to crash

bigfatmat1, Mar 13, 11:31am
yes numorous times when cops (detectives) have approached me they have pulled their id out of the pocket and flipped it open like in the movies

elect70, Mar 13, 1:47pm

There was the husband and wife traffic cops we met at a BBQ years ago.She thought it was really cool to wear a bright pink jacket, egg someone on to race, then stop them, discarding the pink jacket as she got out of the car to book them.
