Good write up Valk what are your thoughts on cameras going up around black spots and the revenue raised goes directly to fix that section?
The problem with that LIE from the grubberment is exactly that.
Firstly, the $camera is not set up at the black spot.
As with the dreadful road near Coffs Harbour, where the accidents actually occur is nowhere near the speed camera.
It is set up in the only overtaking area where there are two lanes.
The whole thing is lies.
And once the road is fixed, why don't they remove these revenue tools?
My little trick to get around speed cameras hasn't failed me yet.
I don't speed.
Yes, that's right: I obey the law.
Shhhh, don't let anyone else know my secret.
My GPS is set up with every camera
I approach them at 10 klm/ hr under the limit.
Also I have a phone app that reports every camera car.
I drive at the limit except where the cruse control speeds up before I catch it.
They won't get me.
But have you noticed the police statements when pulled over.
I have been in the car of a friend when he was done for 10k over the limit.
It went
Why were you speeding driver ( his recording device records the response, he is looking for an excuse)
I said, we were not speeding officer.
He then moved to his backup statement.
I recorded your speed at xxx why were you going so fast.
I responded
We were not speeding, your equipment may be faulty, uncalibrated or picked up another vehicle.
At this point he turned off his recording device, so I turned on my phone recording and told him so.
He directed me to exit the vehicle so he could speak to the driver without interruption.
I got out, not wishing to be accused of not following a police directive.
But not before stating that it was obviously a miscarriage of justice.
I left the phone on the seat.
The mate caved, the wuss.
The cop smiled at me, and I wished him happy revenue raising.
As he walked away I said soon you will be replaced with cameras and robots.
He spun and went to say something, but I pointed at the phone and said
It's being recorded to cloud.
He stomped off.
Fool
Ps
We were on a three lane highway, no other vehicles, on a downhill run just coming out of a 40 k faster speed zone.
You have to hit the anchors to slow down at this little trap.
That's why they sit there.
