Ticket Quota

A You-Tube video of a couple of Poms speeding on the Desert Road and then being pulled over has been promptly lifted from the site.

The pair were 'yelling with delight' that they cracked 161km, had the video to prove it and then they sighted a cop car coming the opposite way.

The copper pursued them and let them off with a warning.

Since posting of the video, the hierarchy see it in a different light and are now pursuing the Poms. Seems the video, although hidden from view when talking to the fuzz, has pix of the copper who should have instantly disqualified the driver for 28 days.

I daresay the copper will be extensively arguing that he already had his quota for the day and did not need more paperwork...

I cannot see what the Poms were yipping and yahooing for, I mean 161Km does not make a ton! In my younger days, well before all the cameras, the Auckland Harbour Bridge, particularly post-tollgates, doing the real ton on a motorbike was always a real blast...
