I thought you lot are all about personal responsibility. You were speeding, tough. More hypocrisy.

Personal responsibility - I will decide if im doing something dangerous, I don’t need the govt to tell me. I drive what’s safe on the road, not some arbitrary limit. The limit is designed for night time, in the rain for drunk/ stoned drivers. Not for me!

So no, 74kmph on that road, in those conditions was not dangerous to anyone.

Revenue gathering. The policeman won that battle but they will lose the war (which is what I told him and he wasn’t very happy about it)

Ps I thought he pulled me over for being on the phone at first but got away with that one…

Plus tough on crime right? Your mob should be demanding 2 years jail, no parole and you forfeit your car and home. In fact you should be demanding that for yourself given your past rhetoric. Plus your crime is a lifestyle choice so throw the book at you.

No crime mate, no victim. Fining law abiding people that have never had a crash just turns good people against the police over petty stuff!

It's a slippery slope

This will become a habit. Next step will be petty theft to fund your speeding and traffic fines. Then you'll pick up the pipe to find ways to relax. Eventually you'll find yourself in the public toilets, giving some old guy a favour for $10 to get some black tar

Lock you up now, I'd say

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Still doesn’t beat that $400 fine when those f**king customs dog picked up an apple in one of my kids bags.

I have PTSD and try to mow those dogs down with my trolley every time I go through the airport now…

You left out the final step - voting for the Greens.

Never crashed. I dont drink/ drugs and drive and pay attention. The rules are for you sheep and under 25 year olds that dont have my experience.

Selfish of the govt to arbitrarily infringe on my rights really for no benefit

Off topic but I’ve been a successful entrepreneur because I don’t follow the rules of life, and I’m not about to start now. I offer society so much more than the rule followers ever can.

Do you do any drugs…

But it only pot, it’s not meth…

Hypocrite?

Claims fascist, authoritarian right, also demands the state constantly restrict freedoms for feels.

Setting aside being on your phone, which is dangerous, you have limited control over whether you crash. Sometimes things happen that make crashes unavoidable, and under those circumstances going faster means worse crash.

"Successful entrepreneur because I don't follow the rules" — definitely a horrible boss.

"I will decide if im doing something dangerous". Classic right winger. Thinks about the issue entirely in terms of risk to himself. Never occurred to him it might be about to risk to others. I.e. the kid who runs onto the street and dies when they might have lived.

Yawn… revenue gathering. What gives the govt the right to play god with my time?

The road outside my business used to be 100, was changed to 80 and now back to 100.

The risk hasn’t changed, just the arbitrary line in the sand

I drive to the conditions and have never crashed and treat my annual speeding ticket as a cost of business.

Yeah you haven't addressed the point.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Yeah you haven't addressed the point.

The speed limits is set for the worst conditions - night in the rain. My visibility and reaction speed at that time means I ain’t hitting no kid and would slow down if there’s a risk.

Stats say drugs/ alcohol and under 25 are 99% of accidents so I don’t know why the police don’t focus on that - revenue gathering.

Anyway. I’m trying to drive and your making me type while I drive…
