Where are the police and camera vans?

Ditto for SH39, albeit just temporary for ski bunny season...

I didn't know they'd changed the camera vans. But a VW van isn't a common sight. They'd make a killing if they used older Jap people movers.

Yeah well, all I can say is Auckland to Hamilton (and beyond) is part of my normal travels on a 24/7 basis. Haven't seen a drop off in police presence...

No need for the boys in blue to use older Jap people movers...after all you'd missed the VW change

Hard to notice a change in the camera vans when you don't see any. ☺

Must just be when I've been traveling then. I'll be going down twice in the next week, so will see what I find then.

Clearly they are all in the South Island. One was parked outside the St Martins Scout hall this morning. Fuckery.

They are making a killing allready...

NZ allready leads the way in number of speed tickets issued per capita...

Last year over $30.000.000 by speed cameras alone
And that was down over $5.000.000 on the year before.

Great racket...

I feel much safer knowing that a sleeping policeman will send me some unsolicited spam snail mail with an invoice in it three weeks after an alleged offence was committed. Its road safety in action. or inaction, if you will.

but won't someone think of the children?

Road deaths for 2016 are about 20 up on the same period last year. If this trend continues, it will the 3rd year in a row with a significant rise.

It appears that increased revenue from speed cameras correlates with more fatalities!

Seen a few plods in non Holden cars too. Toyota & hyundai seem to be getting a run.
More cars with laser fitted too.

Seen one on my commute twice in the last week. Same place as he has been for a couple of years now though so always on guard.

Ahhhh.....

Explains the saying "there is safety in numbers"......

Travelled to Te Awamutu last week, and saw a police car! He'd pulled over a light truck near Mercer.

Still no speed camera vans. Maybe they've stopped using them on the Auckland motorways because it's usually impossible to speed???
