    I suspect that there are different types, and that they have changed the way they operate, due to eejits like me.
    First few I saw, I went, "kewl!", slowed down till there was a break in traffic, then accelerated to see what velcity I could get up to in the few metres before the measuring/indicating doofer. Next ones had a thing that once you exceeded the speed limit came up with a scoreboard, keeping tally of how many dollars you'd won (at least that's what I think it was doing ) After that, all the ones I saw just flashed SLOW SLOW SLOW, no matter how fast I went.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I think they've changed them to discourage record attempts.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    It'll be a lot less than 40 demerits for 112. Something pissy like 25 or something. I sat on 95 for 21 months many moons ago when I was a cage only man. It was pure fluke that I got through as I can't say my driving habits changed too much. But then in my driving history I usually get pinged for piss-ass little tickets anyway, like 130km/h on Wgtn urban mway SH1 - 3 lanes each way, big ass median barrier, 1.30am and not a single other car apart from the bloody cop on the road. The times when I'm really giving it to it the cops usually aren't around. It's all fluke.

    Hard luck Riffer, time to pay your tax you murderer you!! Remember speeders are killing us!!

    I've been trying to find one of those to test my speedo but I've never come across one at the right time yet... I usually just settle for testing the camera vans with the bike front on, but the buggers never send me the results. Typical slack govt department.
