I believe that some state and territory police DO have such powers, and even occasionally use them. I've never heard of a successful prosecution, though perhaps it's an on the spot fine?

Yeah I can imagine they would throw it out of court. I could just imagine the defences case. '' The defendant broke no laws, he drove in a manor befitting for the conditions and in doing so he was hounded by those selfish motorists only concerned with getting to work on time or getting their kids off to school. Perhaps they should have left earlier.

I thought you could only travel at 10% above and below the speed limit?!!?



You can't legally go over the speed limit.

... while it is illegal to speed, there is no law saying you can't drive as slow as you want and hold up as many people as you can in the process.



I'm pretty sure you can be booked for going too slow on Perth freeways.

The law has to allow for their equipment failure and yours!
