How resilient are the new safety camera trailers?

A footnote to this, I ran out of petrol on the motorway a while ago. The person at the AA said they treat breakdowns on the motorway as an emergency because of the danger, and there was someone there in 15 minutes.

I stopped as far to the left as I could and waited behind the Armco.

When my bike lied about remaining range and ran out, I call the AA. Struggling to hear the call taker against the vehicles I asked the call taker to speak up... She asked if I could go somewhere quieter...

But yes, the fuel arrived shortly after...

My bike isn't that sophisticated, it only tells you how far since the low fuel warning. It will normally do 50 kms, but not that day!

if i have the spot located correctly it looks like it is a motorway.Why was it parked on a motorway.

Because that is where people exceed the speed limit, sorry, safety limit.

Even though the road may have a 120km/h design speed, be median divided and have the occasional merge lane rather than an intersection. Attractive if you need to write a few tickets or want to impress the higher ups. Much the same as sitting in a passing lane 2m from the live lane pissing everyone off and causing a huge risk to other road users.

Motorways are awful places when you are at the side one of one, outside a vehicle.

100 kmh doesn't feel very fast when you are travelling in a car, but holy cow, 100 kmh is very fast when you are stationary on the side of a road and cars are going past at 100 kmh.

I worked on the Ak Motorways Group back in the 90's, scared the hell out of me.

Certainly a place for excessive caution.

yes. if you are standing on the side of a footpath and people walk past they go past you quite fast. Thats only 5 km hr different. Its the same as if you doing 220 and your mte goes past at 225....seems quite fast.
so yes 100km hr is fast

just driven ChCh to Dunedin ,cop with his radar on sitting right at the end of a passing lane in a bit of a dip, prime spot for safety tickets

on friday drove Oamarama, Tekapo, Fairlie, Geraldine, ChCh 3 out of every 4 cars was asian tourists in toyota highlanders, mitsi outlanders etc, mostly traveling between 60ks and 110ks (usually at the same time) braking at every corner and everytime a oncoming car appears ....no cops though
