Where should speed cameras sit?

[meteor]

I'm sure I got stung on tuesday heading south on State 27 between the Coro turnoff and the Matamata straights. Usually I set the cruz at 105-110 but I was about 250 or so meters and closing on a caravan which was behind a truck and saw one of those 400 meters to a passing lane signs... So I put the foot down and as I went past the truck I saw a speed camera van on the side of the road... looked at the speedo as I hit the picks... 130 something... bugger! Ok I did it, I'll take it on the chin but what a wanky place for a speed camera, beside a passing lane, that's not about safety at all! Just waiting for the invoice now.

You best hope that the truck was in the pic too, then you will be sweet. I have had a few speed cameras snap at me on passing lanes/motorway, and not received a "dear defendant" letter yet, as there has been a vehicle there with me. *touches wood*

Good for catching some toss-pot that think they're the worlds best drifter....

He he in Christchurch they hide in crappy looking old vans with tinted windows parked on the side of the road, often around a bend!

We are lucky in Auckland, we have new crappy vans. They are known to hide behind bushes at night, on a unlit part of SH1.

Have you seen all the snakeys in the passing lanes on SH1 between Rakaia and Rolleston?

Nary a single one Sat arvo and one Sunday evening

Enough bozos speeding around to keep them happy from what I saw too.

Her majesty's invoice showed up today... 112 Kph, $80. Coulda been worse, quite lucky really.
My 4rd speeding ticket (since 1981). I'm a serial speeder and now I have to go and sit on the naughty step.
