It's common sense..if you were a cop, would you be out doing speed duty in the middle of winter if you didn't have too??? Or in pissing rain?? They'll just make up for it in nice weather..
 
It's also common sense to do your ripping around a track.
I heard that they line the outside with old tires.

you dont belong on this forum, your saying too much common sense and truth.
let the wieners cry all they want, dont encourage them.
 
Some saints on this board, eh? Never sped/ripped it past speed limit in their lives either. LOL

i do speed, id be lying if i said i didnt, but i speed carefully in the right places,
i get a ticket every couple years, the one on my record now, i was doing 15 over, got reduced to 10. but the difference is i dont hate on the cop and wish them death like some select people on this board. i take the ticket and blame myself for doing the offence.
 
I got nailed on my way in to work this morning SB on Doris ave. Wasn't even on my bike... What a waste. He didn't knock it down the 3 km/h it would've taken to avoid demerits either.
 
aaaah, i see, so because you justified your speeding in your mind its perfectly okay to be a hypocrite?

The fact that you "get a ticket every couple years" would indicate you're a pretty bad offender, a repeat kind.

Hahaha... "offender."

You do realise that most Canadians are only following the speed limit as they pass it on the way to 20 over, right? When pretty much everyone speeds, what does that tell you about the speed limit?
 
and hence lies the hypocrisy of the whole system....so its okay for everyone to speed 20 over UNTIL the LEO's decide that its "revenue generating time" and they nab as many as they can for something that is done 99% of the time? Its okay to speed during winter but as soon as nice weather comes out that same speeder becomes a "menace", and needs to take it to the track?

Everyone speeds, thats a given. So why be a hypocrite and say the idiot thing of "ooh take it to the track!"
 
As you get older, you'll find that there are two sets of rules: The official ones, and the unofficial ones.

If you've put your winter beater away, and decide to take your summer vehicle out for an "Italian tune-up", you should keep in mind that you might get a ticket.

Does it make sense for the police to ticket everyone going slightly over the speed limit when it's bad weather out?
Or to concentrate on those way above in nice conditions, especially those who chronically speed?

If you're doing 120 along with everyone else and you haven't been popular with the police lately, you'll most likely be fine. If you're north of 160, not so much. If you've had multiple tickets in the last few months, not so much.

That's where the common sense bit comes in.

It's a sure sign of spring when the River of Tears in here starts flooding it's banks.

"I break the law (speed) when I deem it safe to do so. The rest of you are criminals and get what you deserve."

Gold Jerry. Gold.

There you go ... I actually can't believe you wrote it. Hold on ... who is wishing death to whom??

The debate was about cops lining up and collecting at locations were it's clearly a cash grab on a sunny day. Fine, you don't hate them for that, other people do. I for one believe there is tons of other things they could do to improve safety on the road than ticket you for 15 over ... barring you were not doing it in front of school on a rainy day.

So nice weather = summer vehicle for Italian tune-up = cops ticketing elevated ... I have never heard of that logic before. You must be older than me.

BTW, what happens when it's 15C in the beginning of Mar and I am driving still the winter beater as you put it?

Agreed.

Maybe ticket or impound the ****ing idiots to turn into the wrong lane or turn into my lane literally right next to me when I'm going straight through a green.
