    Your honour, I plead extenuating circumstances.

    The HWP had pulled a woman over and was stopped in the LH lane which was a short dual lane section at a corner (see pic). He had his reds and blues going so I moved over to the right to go around him. Unfortunately, he and the woman moved off just as I approached and at the last second I saw his RH blinker going - his were hard to see owing to the late afternoon sunlight. I might have been able to stop but decided it was safer to skirt around them. By this time the woman was over the dotted line and it could probably claimed I didn't give way.

    They both turned right into a side street. I assume the HWP must have told her to move off the highway as it wasn't a good place to stop.

    You've missed your calling Ron, the Bench would welcome such a cogent argument

    You won't (really, really shouldn't) get one in the post. Only 'owner onus' offences can be dealt with by post to the registered owner, those being offences able to be detected by 'an automated device' such as a red light or speed camera. That onus is then for the registered owner to nominate the driver or person responsible at the time of the offence. Otherwise you must be stopped and spoken to then, or within a six month statute of limitations.

    So, move house regularly or ride like the wind

    Either way, you just had to take advantage of such a nice day!

    Matt.

    Matt,
    here we can issue a TIN (traffic Infringement Notice) to the registered owner of any vehicle in relation to any known/proven offence (eg cameras etc AND /OR police observed offences etc etc..) the onus is then on the driver to stat dec details of correct driver and notice is re issued- or advise he/she will contest matter in court, tin is then suspended/withdrawn and summons issued. and we have 2 year limitation time. (also whilst we are at it in SA you accrue up to 12 demerit points then you get a pushbike! (we dont give it to you, but you'd better get one as your licence will be suspended!!
    The points are taken away after three years unless different time/times scale dictated by Court. Just so you can all be aware!

    Cheers

    Thanks Matt! The HWP still had his reds and blues going when he pulled out and went around the corner with the woman.

    I must admit she had a startled look when I went around her - although that could have been due to her having been pulled over.

    There are a few places in NSW where I wouldn't dream of speeding - Bathurst, Goulburn, and Lithgow - oh, and the old Pacific Hwy!

    I'd just come from Bathurst where the boys in blue were out and about. I saw a posse* of 5 police bikes go past me at Bathurst.

    * For those who aren't into collective nouns, see Collective Nouns - I do love ones like "a murder of crows" , "a parliament of owls" and this lovely one, "a sneer of butlers" .

    Late edit: I don't like Digger's scenario! (Although I can see times when it would be good.)

    Thanks for that Ron, love it; the collectives, not that the cops are after you.

    He, he, he.....might've been a 'drift', 'doylt', 'trip' or 'drove' of Policemen Motorcyclists

    The Putty Road get's a workout too. The old Pacific Highway is such a nice road to drive/ride, it's a shame it's a 60 zone - should be 70 or 80, but given the scattering of fairings and bike parts on every other corner, it's not surprising the 'cotton wool' brigade have been at it.

    I hear the bike contract is up and Kawasaki are next in line - GTR's!

    Matt.

    I validate this off topic post with another vote for the term 'Policeman' .

    They might have trouble with that miscreant, Ian. That's a caricature of my late son, Bucko!

    Having said that, we did get a letter wanting payment for tolls on the M5 that occurred after he had died and whilst his bike was still in the police lockup in Albury. Ghost rider!

    Or alternatively, an intrusion of "cockroaches"

    Sorry about the term of endearment Matt, if I get to the HWP reunion of the "Old and Bold" next month I will apologise.
