    I nearly wrote off my friends car on East Coast Road in front of that speed camara. Apparently doing handbrake slides along a main road at 65kmh in the wet isn't a smart thing to do... although the camera didn't go off.

    That really put the shits up me. Young dumb and full of cum, that pretty much sums it up!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    The other thing is... has anyone noticed the new Toyota Previa mobile speed camera van that now sits on the eastern side of the road, just after the traffic lights???

    I was wondering why Mr Bel's finest, was screaming it's head off!

    North or south of the lights? About a month ago I got flashed by a big white van on the western side a little south of the lights, but I was going towards it, so no loss.

    I've been driving past that fixed camera every day for a few years now, I think I've seen it flash once (someone going the other way, everyone on my side of the road must've been locals locked on 50k).

    South of the lights. Opposite side of the road from the fixed camera.

    The sooner you realise that speed cameras aren't a result of money hungry tax collectors and are in fact the result of an unimaginative bureaucrat responding to political pressure to lower the road toll, the sooner you can get on with your lives in comfortable cynicism.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    That, or some open their eyes and see the fat arsed van sitting there, all tinted up..... "I wonder what that could be...?"

    Or;

    slow down...?

    That saves me money on tickets and detectors.... who'd have thought......

    Meh, I learnt my lesson when it cost $1100 to fix my mates car, which he was given for free. That was going to be money towards a new bike!
