    Just out of curiosity does anyone know who operates the speed signs that tell how fast you are going and gives the fine for the speed that you are clicked at.

    These are usually mounted on a truck or tailor

    You won't get a fine from one of them - it is a warning device only. And I've yet to see one mounted on a tailor...
    ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.

    Only on trucks now, they found the tailors couldn't sew as fast when they had a speed sign mounted on them....

    I think some local bodies may own or hire them, but the ones on the highway will be Land Transport Stupidity Authority (since re-named now that the world knows what LTSA really stands for!)

    I got flashed by the back of a moving van heading into wellington once. We think, but cannot be certain, as I had just arrived in the country, that it was a speed camera van that had driven off without switching the camera. I dunno what set it off, probably lamp-posts, but I like to think it was cars going the opposite direction and getting tickets for doing 220kmh in a mazda 323
    It's a Rocket

    It seams to me that this thread has missed the point. Maybe we should dart off and buttonhole some people do get another view. It may need alterations.
    Any other eyedeas?

    You'll cotton on. If the collar doesn't suit you, jacket in or just don't turnup if it ain't fitting. Don't have to get shirty and spit the dummy. We might think you're lining your own pockets
