Sneaky Coppers

[FIFO]

This is was told could be on the Great ocean road.
You Mexicans might be able to confirm this, or some one might recognize the road.
The last bike sounds and looks like a monster with hi rise pipes
they didn't clock him.
 And i thought your gonna need more than the colour of the bike to fine the person
Plus this is on the interweb it could be fake

very very sneaky.
sure the riders are not doing the right thing, but who hasn't done that.
to be so hidden is not playing very fair really.

[craigo]

f**kin weasels. They sit on the spot where it is probably safest to overtake on a road that probably was a hundred zone with  broken lines for years till the Vic state government started running low on funds. Mark Webber is right, nanny state.

no surprise really. see, they have no friends, so they only socialise with each other and inevitably they cook up sneaky shit like that at traffic branch BBQ's.

[Mr.S2R]

haha love the sound of disappointment when the Monster goes past - NOTHING!! Read and weep boys!!

[Dannog]

at the end there they say someone was waving at them....nice to know that you can be lucky sometimes with someone giving up their position.

[mostro900]

looks legit enough. certainly wouldn't surprise anyone here would it ?!

f'ers!

I will say I do support one thing, overtaking on Mountain ranges can be dangerous.
We have a number of riders on the various ranges and roads around Cairns killed because
of some dodgy and stupid passes in some pretty dumb areas. and some of these guys
are getting very close to the next corner before they pull in from the other lane. But the
Camera Angle could be making look worse than it really is.

Now I don't know this road, so I will reserve my judgment in this case, and I'll be the first to admit
that I have passed on Double lines on the Gillies range, but I know that road and I only pass on
decent long straights no where near a corner. and that was only in the early hours of the morning
when I would only see a couple of cars along the whole road (So seeing Headlights coming the other
way would give away the other cars approach) and Never in daylight hours.

And people crossing the lines in Cairns/Tablelands Ranges/Roads is frightening! Doesn't seem to matter
if it is on a Moped, Bike, Car or Semi, People up here treat the lines as a suggested path only. When I went near
a blind corner on any range up here I made sure to be on the outside of the corner (Meaning as far away
from the oncoming traffic) I have lost count how many times that has saved my life or from serious injury.
Maybe it's not as bad in Vic as it is up here in Cairns.

And the Speed gun is just the swift boot to the balls! (And quite frankly how is it saving lives?)
Revenue raising at it's finest!

[vossy]

the speed gun is no different really to a Bank robber holding up a bank.

Easy money.

What Loony said is true. I have a couple of cop friends who say that shit goes on all the time.

[Monstar_100]

Unfortunatly it is happening in NSW.

A friend of mine was doing a road test for a magazine on the MV Augusta when he was over the mountains...

Fined for 5km over, overtake over unbroken lines...

(overtaking a caravan)

[vossy]

 You can be booked for overtaking on unbroken lines,  ( I accept that) ,but can you get done for overtaking a caravan on broken lines if you go over the speed limit just to get passed?

[brimo]

Yes of course, you've gone over the speed limit, and you deserve everything the state can do to you, cos of your reckless and irresponsible behaviour.

[vossy]

the reason I said that, is because I over took a slow truck the other day and as I popped out behind him and overtook a copper was pointing his money maker at me and never pulled me over. (I was doing just over 90 in a 80 zone.)
I did however slow down to 80 once I passed.

Maybe it depends on the

[White Lion]

I'm even going to say, that's low!

They grabbed both of those bikes prior or during to an overtaking move. Neither was doing ridiculous speeds, just enjoying the road.

I know last week that Sutherland Highway did an operation in the RNP and got 8 guys doing over 45km/h(It was a media release). I was in there on saturday afternoon, and came across an Aston, two Evos and a Ducati. All of them were driving 'well', but none of them were, in my mind driving dangerously. I'm of the opinion that if you shut down every single known "drivers road", then more shananigans will occur on "every day roads". It's shit policing at it's finest.
