bike cops

a bike cop was waiting to turn right 4 cars back from the lights, and i
stupidly split lanes past one car to get in the right lane

anyway i took off up the hill on my rgv doin 60 in a 40 zone

he caught up to me at the top of the hill and nearly ran up my rear as i
turned left , i think he thought i was takin off.

so I pulled over and he stopped, didnt even take his helmet off to talk to
me.

had a go at me for speeding, splitting lanes, and not indicating,

i made the mistake of not putting on my new rego sticker, he booked me for
not indicating and old rego sticker, $90 for old rego sticker, i had the new
one in my bag with me.

i have a feelin he was jealous i split lanes in his vicinity. whats the
point of riding a bike if you dont split lanes when the cars are stopped, u
may aswell be in a car too.

 

Its illegal to lane split in some states, although the bike cops
tolerate it in general as long as its not too much in their face.

I think you just offended him thats all. Sounds like you got off pretty
lightly, could have had a fine for 20km/h over in a 40 zone as well.
Just roll with it dude and next time your about to lanesplit, check your
six.

 

What makes you think he was jealous of you?
What nakes you think he couldn't split if he dien't want to?
I have split with coppers to the front and had no issues with them.
Wouldn't you think if he was jealous he would have done you for speeding
and splitting?
You got off very lightly and should be thankful.

 

If you dont want to be pulled over by police, perhaps its a good idea to
obey the road rules when they are behind you - just a suggestion but i think
it usually works

 

Well

60 in a 40 zone!! you deserve to be booked.... These 40 zones are in place
where there is a high risk of hitting a child. It sounds like to me you
should sell your bike and walk... You would possibly then jaywalk or step
out from the kerb in front of a motorcyclist.... Think about it before you
whinge.... YOU DID GET OFF LIGHTLY!!

Hopefully you will be more considerate of others and do the right thing in
future.... Do you not get pissed off when cars don't indicate their
intentions... and nearly run you off the road on your bike?? As you admitted
you stupidly split the lanes in his face???

 

I hope you were telling stroker this and not me!

Like has been said, if ya gonna **** around in the lion pit keep an eye on
the lions.

 

There is just too many laws and restrictions in this country, I had more
freedom in Vietnam (recent holiday).

Even in the US you can ride without (in some states)a helmet and own a gun.

In my day we didnt have 40km zones around schools, and guess what? I went to
school and survived, may may say unfortunatly but I did. Imagine if some
Mercedies ran over Hitler on the way to school, what a disaster.

Some of these kids are going to grow up and be cops one day!

 

i would have pushed for capital punishment.

you got a good deal, why woudnt ya be happy..

 

Yes, Stroker not you.... I know that you have more sense!

 

Killer

Yes you may have survived.... But in MY opinion the attitude of the drivers
and riders has changed.... and yes before you say it .... the cops as
well.... I can remember getting a kick in the pants and sent home.... the
idea was to beat the cops there before they told my dad.... THEN I paid for
my wrong doings....

As for your comment about 40 zones I would feel much more confident in
todays age letting my kids cross the road "hoping" that some IDIOT does not
run them over!
How would you feel if your kids (if you have been able to produce any???)
are killed by a senseless IDIOT?

 

how ?

 

yeah im usually vigilant with regard to cops, thats why i only split lanes
past one car, i forgot the cop was there for a split second, i knew i was
pushin it as soon as i did it. my prob was i was half asleep, it was on my
way to work.

 

You really should have spotted that his RGV was just photoshopped onto the
road.

..au:

You got a points-free kick up the arse for being a twat. You
done good. What's your issue?

G, must put that new rego sticker on the bike

 

With my luck with coppers I would've gotten a ticket for each offence
(although lane-splitting doesn't seem to be an "offence" in Qld unless
you're being a total dick) and I probably would've scored an extra one for
having my foot off the footpeg or arm out the window or failing to clean-up
dog-droppings or something!
He got a very good deal and I hope he wakes up to himself on future rides.

Hmmm, care to take a stab at what the road toll is like in Vietnam?

 

That's *Mister* Schoolgirl Impressing Clem to me!

G, waiting with bated breath for word on [weather|whether|wether]
the schoolgirls were actually impressed.

Or not.

You already know the answer to that GB.....
No, the schoolgirls are never impressed...... (but that'll never stop the
man-moths from beating themselves to death on the bright lightbulbs)

having a read of the op, i think stroker was cool about it and its not the
worse carry on about getting done ive seen here.

i agree i think he was a little grumpy at you for your transactions
especially a lack of indicating.

you'll be cool in the future
