Georgia motocycle speed crackdown

 

[Ca$h]

They have been saying that on TV and radio all summer so far. Savannah is a nice place, I like going out there.

 

[ZeuSeason]

I didn't do it!

I ask this....When the hell are they going to produce a 'stealth' bike impervious to radar?? Then we wouldn't have to worry about speeding that much.

Poo-Poo??? You had a case of the squirts?? Ohhhh Po-Po...got it...

What can I say, I like adding a bit of comedy to my Threads. An Officer is the only person that should be taking any type of offense.

That doc. you linked to pisses me off to no f-ing end!! Read the stats listed at the bottom. Does ANYONE really think speeding is the problem? Mother F-er, it's shit like this that makes me want to get all anarchist and shit.

EDIT: this is the paragraph that got me ranting:

"The latest data shows 38-percent of all motorcyclists involved in fatal crashes were speeding.. ..one out of four motorcycle operators involved in fatal crashes were driving with invalid license.. motorcyclists in fatal crashes had higher intoxication rates than any other type of driver.. and motorcyclists were 4 times as likely to be intoxicated when killed in traffic crashes at night. NHTSA 2002"

Well YEAH...if you didnt speed so damn much then you wouldnt drive me to drink!

 

[IllKneeGrow]

Wow now a new stereotype... So after the sun goes down the motorcyclists on the road are not only assholes, but they are drunk!

WONDERFUL!

I'd like to know the statistics for cars/trucks. Something tells me it wont be much different than this

I have nothing against the police, they are only performing a duty.
However, I used to live in Atlanta. F the police in Atlanta.
I now live in NC and in the 5 years I have lived here, I have only been pulled over about 6 times for various things. Speeding, seat belts...etc...nothing major just actual offenses that I was guilty of.
While living in Atl. for maybe 10 years I was pulled over at least 100 times and thats leaning to the low side. It was probably more. For every infraction that could be imagined.
I lived in Smyrna. Every day I had the chance of leaving my driveway and getting pulled over by one of the following depts.
Smyrna PD, Marietta PD, Cobb County PD, Cobb County Sheriff Dept, GA Highway Patrol or any of the little town PD's surrounding the area like Vinings.
All of these dept's are ruthless with their speed traps and pulling minority drivers over (I am dark skinned but not really a minority). They cross into each others jurisdictions with no problem and it leaves the citizen being crushed by the law.
I hate that F'n town/state...thats why I moved.

These kinds of police attitudes piss me off too. There are so many bad drivers in all types of vehicles. There is no need to focus on motorcycles.

 

[King Cobra]

I liked the "why". Comical.

None taken here. It's mild compared to other things I've been called.
