Where has all the bacon gone?

Under 9 hours of bonus round to go, and so much for the increased police
presence.

I have done, over the 11 days, about 1500km by bike and car, including
several commutes, and a few day trips. I have seen a total of 3 cops.

I have a theory as to where all the cops have gone.

Krispy Creme has sprung up everywhere over the last 12 months or so. Now we
have no cops on the road. Co-incidence?

 

That depends on the roads you've been travelling on. If you would like to
venture onto the pacific highway/freeway etc I think you'd find a fair few
cops. If you stick to the back roads there won't be too many. I've travelled
a few times from Syd to Bris in the "cop freak out" sessions and seen zero
cops all the way, but then again, it was the twisty way!

hey futant, you got a new bike yet?

 

One of my trips was Parramatta -> Lake Macquarie on the Freeway. Saw 2 out
of the 3 on that trip.

 

Yesterday I did a 1 km round trip from home to fill the tank, and was breath
tested on the way to, and the way back from the servo. They even provided
entertainment while I was filling up by pulling over a pissed driver outside
the servo that refused to stop for the RBT!

Drove Sydney - Gloucester on Friday afternoon (Christmas Eve) via Wollombi,
Broke, Singleton, Dungog - no cops. Drove Gloucester to Wauchope Christmas
morning via Taree and Pac. Hwy - no cops. Drove Wauchope to Sydney on
Boxing Day afternoon via Pac. Hwy, about 2 cops, only 1 with radar up my
clacker.

Sydney - Wauchope - Sydney: 3 police (effectively 2). ???

Cheers,
Dave

 

There might be an increased presence if they employed more over the
christmas/new year holiday period, but they don't, so it's unlikely that there
will be much of an difference in what you see as a motorist. They probably
have fewer cops tied up in court during this period, but the difference is
probably consumed by people taking leave.

Well coming back from Melb I had some bacon sit behind me for around 30 mins

and I saw a lot more then that

 

Which way? If you were on the Hume Hwy or the Princes Hwy you're just asking
to speed checked every half hour. Why didn't you just slow down or pull over
and let them pass? I made the same mistake myself crossing the Nullabor in my
car a few years back. There was a cop car following me, so naturally I was
doing the right thing and giving all oncoming traffic a flash of the highbeams
to warn them, because everyone is speeding across there. After about 5 - 10
mins I smacked myself in the head, and the next car that came along I just
waved to apologetically. Sure enough, as soon as the cop's radar got a
reading on the other car's speed he was off my tail

It was dual laneway and he could have passed whenever he liked. Wasn't sure
if I may have gone 10k's over so just ignored him and hoped . I think he was
a pig
and just playing games..... well **** him

 

Nope ... will be a few more months before I can be arsed thinking about it.
Maybe 2006 even depending on what I decide to do.

Have had the exact same thing happen... we ended up pulling off the
Gundagi exit, to get a room for the night, he even followed us up the
driveway of the motel, them put on Lights and Wait... SIREN.. we were
stopped and already gettin off the bike..

Needless to say, the NO VACANCY sign went up before we hit the door.

I agree with Nev, pull over and let the **** go.. but the only issue
you have then is he will be waiting up the road further for u.

 

I'm thinking of opening a hotdog stand out the front.
Donuts would work better

 

still here, spent am amusing nye dealing with drunk fuckwits at cottesloe
beach front

 

To Wollongong;

Did a loop (in the car) today to Kangaroo valley and back and saw
nothing until we got within 10 km of Wollongong then saw 5, 2 with
radar

 

G'day corks... hope you had a good nye.... you back on that bike yet?

<please come here more often... we need help translating MB

 

Good point, would be just about time for Buzz to pop in and say hello,
been a while...

There was probably a big fat emergency lane on a dual carriageway. So you
indicate left, then lift your foot off the accelerator. He pulls out and
overtakes you before you even start merging into the emergency lane. You stop
for 10 or 15 seconds to give him enough time to clear off up the road ahead of
you but not enough time for him to lay in wait to clock you when you come past
him, and off you go again.

Ummmmm.... If you were doing the speed limit and he was doing the speed limit
and he was behind you for 30 mins, that doesn't make you think that he was
just travelling in the same direction as you at the same speed as you and he's
not going to go screaming past you for no reason?

Never mind fucking him. It sounds like you've been fucking yourself with your
own paranoia.

No, I never said anyone was a ****, so you couldn't be agreeing with me. See
my other reply to Will. I think your persecution complex must be contagious.
