photos being taken at roadworks

**DemonWolf** · 8th December 2005, 09:39

We've had a few 're-surfacing' around the Naki.. and each time I'm on them there have been the roadwork guys'n'gals in a ute watching the traffic.. Both really eyeballing everything.. I was wondering what was going on.. and I guess its in preparation for this new campaign. Good stuff in my opinion.. kinda sick of stone chips flying up at me... notice that most vechiles that tailgate me tend to suddenly fall back 20m's... twins just love throwing up stone chips at low speeds (and of course high!). =)

i would say that you were just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.
some of the more involved worksites will require many photos taken as a time progression to prove that work is being conducted correctly.

as someone who normally takes these photos all i can say is... Smile!

If it's just a normal digital camera it won't have the ability, the steadiness (being handheld), or the accuracy to be used as evidence for any supposed crime ie. speeding. Interested to see what they're up to though.

Well went this guy snapped me it was on a camera phone, which leads me to believe it was only a random piccy.

Although with regards to speed, I was running late for work, and the guy with the first stop/go board was trying to get me to pull a wheelie away from the line so obviously not that bothered about safety

Something like....
"Yeah those *Ninja's* (Fill your bike type here) are pretty fast alright. Can you pop a wheelie bro?"

He believes that what he is doing is right.
Really the biggest problem I have is the idiot landlord... oh yeah and the fact that I have no speedo or odometer atm, but I think I can fix that right now!

Hey SJ

Sorry to hear about the nut job. My advice is to just move out and stay away. Your case should be good with the tenancy tribunal. I had an asshole landlord a couple of years ago. They dont care as long as the moneys coming in.

P.S. whats up with the speedo/ odo? Whats gonna go wrong next?

Legally I cant just move out and stop paying rent.... THe good news is that the Tenancy Services are just as disgusted as whats going on with the landlord as I am so I have a court date on the 20th Dec so hopefully it'll all be sorted by Xmas!

As for now Im safe staying at my boyfriends....

As for the speedo the cable had fallen out so all I had to do was screw it back in, was a relieve to find it was minor!! Im hoping its plain sailing form now on!
