On
news drivers will be pulled over this Christmas even if only 1 km/hr over the speed
limit, combined with MP Iain Wowser-Galloway's halving of the blood alcohol
limit to roughly two standard drinks per hour for a male - that's two mouthfuls
- I'd like to invite both the land transport personnel of police and
Wowser-Galloway to go to hell.
Neither
the speed intolerance nor the halved alcohol limit will save lives: both
measures punish the responsible, while the irresponsible will drink, drive and
speed as much as they ever have. The worst about both programs is they will be
the death of rural hospitality, already crippled.
Both tweets following show how this police speed pogram is set to unjustly
ransack the bank accounts and driving records of law-abiding Kiwis who are
going peacefully about their lives, and have a right to be left alone (if this
were a Free Land). In the face of police speed intolerance, we need to start
being intolerant of policies such as this from our police. Every driver who is
ticketed between 101 and 104 km/hr contest it in court even if your chances are
forlorn - although both points below may well be valid defences for 1 km/hr
tickets. Use up police time, money and resources so it hurts them also. Every
driver who is inconvenienced by being pulled over and warned, write to the
Minister of Police and demand sensible land transport policy, not this revenue
generating bullshit. They waste our time, we waste their time:
To
police land transport and Wowser-Galloway, f**k-you Christmas.
'Don't blame me, I don't pass the laws' the coppa will say, 'if you don't like it get the politicians to change the law' they will say, 'just doin my job(Nuremberg defence), it's for your safety' they will say...
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile paedos get a free ride (repeat answers above)
And not a word outta retired coppa's or the police union(unless they want a payrise) then it's all hands on deck...
{Puke}
Grow some stones NZ Pol and quit bustin citizens balls,
It's getting F-ing boring!!!
The speed intolerance won't save a life, and those who crash due to alcohol will be over the old blood alcohol limit (normally, they'll be off the register).
DeleteBut this will make it even harder for what little rural hospitality is left. We spend a lot of time in the Marlborough restaurant/wineries, which are a 40 minute drive from where we are in the Mahau Sound. I'm simply not going to go have a meal at a winery without having a wine, and new wowser blood alcohol limit does not allow me to 'have a wine'. And that's sad for everyone involved.
Also, the police are still reliant on public support which is gained via respect. A cop sitting either side of a passing lane ticketing everyone 1 k/hr over the speed limit, and they will be sitting there - as they always do south of Ashburton, then along the Kaikoura highway - has only my contempt.
DeleteTheir nonsense speed intolerance, between 100 k/hr and 104 k/hr, and now 101 k/hr, is only buying into my intolerance of them.
Hehe speed kills they say...
ReplyDeleteI always say what about the Auto-bahn...
They never blame poor roading(don't wanna bite the hand that feeds them)
They then repeat the answers I gave above...
Then I say get the Army to build the roads...

Oh yeah there's a way to beat the breath-o
ReplyDeleteI won't say over the wire, but it works up-to about a dozen drinks
A cop on the radio was talking about the realistic expectation of zero road deaths in the future. Are they going to ban tourists from driving and kick my mother in law of the road? With foolishness like that abounding the traffic police deserve our contempt. Its a bit sad that having driven for about 40 years I've seen cars and roads improve (cars amazingly so) yet point to point speeds are probably lower than when I started driving. Its progress Jim but not as we know it.
ReplyDeleteThe alcohol change is ridiculous. You get a fine and 50 points for being not under the influence and they send you on your way. Mafia wankers.

In near future there will be near zero road deaths, but that's via driverless cars: and they're the only thing which will save the few remaining country pubs in the wowser nation we've become.
DeleteDespite what I said I won't stop going to the Marlborough wineries because we love them, and I won't stop drinking the safe amount I have with a meal. I have a spotless driving record, no demerits, no scrapes or crashes, nothing, across 34 years, so wait for the noise if Iain Wowser-Galloway is responsible for criminalising me.
Can you say REVENUE-RAISING...
ReplyDeleteAny excuse for the State to put their hands in your pockets,
Them pricks are like paedos,
They just can't help themselves...
Yes, the 1 km/hr intolerance can be about nothing other than revenue. Every man-hour spent on that is better spent on actual crime.
DeleteThat's sum Sheriff of Nottingham garbage...

We got the crazy crew
You think you comin' we say
"Na na na"
We got the block locked up
The foes that oppose me by proxy
They try to get foxy, they try to rock me
They say, they got the 40 cal glok
With the 30 round clip and they losin' their damn grip
Well, I came back from hell so goddamn fit
I'll bust your lip and make you strip
You can play them games but don't play 'em in my park
I'll spill a wild bill, before you get out you town car
Rantin' and ravin', claimin' you're armed
I'll do the hit myself and then eat a chicken parm
Mackin' like bumpy, the business is boomin'
I'll chop your ass up like, I was Jimmy Coonan
The westy, honey don't test me
Ooh, [Incomprehensible] ate 5 blotters
And things are gettin' kinda wacked
If you can't live the lie, let it die
And if you can't live a life full of strife
Just say oops and jump through hoops
And get to the end of the line

I got bear hug for my brothers
ReplyDeleteAnd I got no love for the others
So c'mon kids, you ain't built for bids
You'll get jacked in the ass like a sucker
"Mucho Dinero", the man with the hat said
He changed his mind once the crack in his head bled
Movin' and shakin' the brittle illusion
Referrin', concurrin' and workin' out solutions
Know your man, know his game
Don't be ashamed from where you came
If you ask me
I'd rather have money than fame
We got the crazy crew
You think you comin' we say
"Na na na"
"Na na na"
All you thieving lying SOB's are on notice,
Robin Hood ain't gonna take your nonsense
