Giving passenger a ride gets driver in trouble
Nothing doggie about this, but I thought I'd include it as part of my thoughts on how New Zealand "authorities" have it over us... No wonder people are disgusted by the power-hungry. "Authority" here also means dog officers who fine a dog $300 for peeing on their neighbour's fence! Hell, speeding tickets are cheaper!
Nelson police are taking action against a Wanganui couple for taking the spirit of giving a little too far on Christmas Eve.
Sergeant Shane Miles said the pair were stopped by police on Haven Rd at 2.30am after they were noticed both seated behind the steering wheel of a car - the woman in the man's lap.
Mr Miles said the couple still had their trousers undone but the woman had returned to her own seat when the officer approached the vehicle.
The man was asked why he was driving with the woman on his lap. Before he had time to answer, his passenger replied; "Come on officer, it's Christmas - a time for giving".
The amusing reply didn't change the fact that this was an "incredibly stupid and potentially dangerous thing to do", Mr Miles said.
"Unfortunately, police see too many people taking things too far at this time of the year. They think they are having harmless fun but the potential for danger is actually quite high."
(Oh, give me a break!... doesn't 'giving a warning' mean anything around here?? Why or why must New Zealand 'authorities have to fine people... not enough taxes, isn't that it??)
A 21-year-old Wanganui man has been charged with careless driving but may not have to appear in court if he pleads guilty by letter. His 20-year-old passenger was fined for not wearing a seatbelt.
