Headed out for a ride on Sat. On the way up to Mt Mee had a cop in a Pajero chuck hos lights on and do a U-turn before he came chasing after myself and another 3 bikes. I was at the back of the pack so played it safe and put the indicator on and pulled over when I deemed it safe to. He alleged I was doing 100 in a 60 zone which I politely did not accept. I may have not been doing the limit but I'm quite sure I wasn't doing that speed. At the same time I wasn't really focused on the dash.
After putting the fender eliminator on the MV tail I played it safe and put a piece of plastic with a reflector on it before heading out for the ride. After a brief chat with the cop I got let off with a warning, he just noted my details in a notebook.
I have a question on this now. the cop reckoned that the his radar told him we were doing a 100kph. Yet he was coming around a corner in the opposite direction and I was the 4th bike in. How the hell can he say what speed I was doing. I have read a few articles about being able to contest Stationary speed cameras if the angle is not correct and the vehicle has to be on a flat plain, yet here we have 2 vehicles travelling in opposing directions and at variable speeds with the angle constantly changing, not to mention (in this case) 4 possible target vehicles. How can he state what speed I was doing???
