Radar Detectors to be banned

[Kiwi XTR2]

Had to stop the car.

Apparently the new traffic legislation/regulations will:
- Reduce fines
- Increase demerits
- Ban radar detectors

Probably won't do any good but the select committee will be getting a flea in the ear from me

You really must be ill for it to have taken that long to go

Up our way there will be some early morning booze-buses to try and catch people driving home from the night before . . . take it easy with that green tea & gingerbeer (or whatever it was)

I believe Trade Plates only go on the rear as well.

I'd be inclined to use every possible legal mechanism to win the case WITHOUT taking any further steps that achieve nothing other than confirming you're a petulant prick.

I've been in court often enough to know that judges are human and don't like that kind of ing around. Every so often when they get the sense that's happening they get a chance to slap someone down and it's not usually pretty.

Yeah because each and every one of them would risk their careers over some small ticket.

Are all the pharmacys shut or do you just refuse to take your medication ?

Do you really believe every ticket issued is correct?

Not at all. Sometimes they will make a mistake, sometimes they won't be sure, sometimes an individual officer will lie, and very occasionally an individual will be living in their own little reality that is very different to the one the rest of us experience.

Anyway you said

If they do that in court or in sworn papers it is worse than when you do it as an individual. It is not just perjury but also malfeasance.
