How resilient are the new safety camera trailers?

[rastuscat]

The focus is clearly on how people get caught.

This is a self-defence mechanism used by those seeking to divert attention from the fact that they got caught.

All this discussion about how people get caught rather than that fact that they got caught is spurious.

If people didn't exceed speed limits, there would be no speed cameras.

So there.

With all due respect. Fuk off.

Just turned 60. Growing old is mandatory. Not so, growing up.

The police have been even worse, but to be fair, it's a while since I've seen a police car stopped on a motorway shoulder at 90° to the traffic just after an exit. Maybe they learnt something from the speed camera van incident.

Saw a cop car 90° just before the Takanini exit (so not after) northbound last weekend, if it helps.

Before the exit is probably even worse! I used to see a cop car parked on the side of the SW motorway, just over the brow of a rise so you couldn't see it. But they converted the shoulder to a bus only lane which stopped that.

ooooops found this which is presumably what you are talking about (better search terms yield better results!)

my favourite parts are:

WorkSafe’s charges against police have been discontinued.

and

Jevon McSkimming said the safety of the community is at the heart of everything the force does.

The crash happened in 2021.

I still think that speed limits are guidelines for the weak minded. Drive to your ability and to the conditions, it ain't (or should not be) difficult.


Here is a small video of my favourite racing car to cheer you all up.

it was parked well off to one side i seem to recall, the hit could have been deliberate, or a medical event. cell phone distraction etc

[F5 Dave]

Well i don't know much about cars but that is brilliant. All cars on the road should be like that!

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

Just wait till we get all the other new technology being rolled out in other countries. An Australian driver just got done for smoking meth pipe, the camera only took a photo because he wasnt wearing seat belt.
When mandatory digital ids and phone trackers come out we’ll look back with nostalgic envy at these easier times when one could just roll off the throttle at likely enforcement locations then floor it again.

There’s thousands of hours of Motorsport footage that shows driving to one’s ability and conditions without crashing ain’t at all that easy even in a controlled environment. And tragically it still involves death and serious injury.
In workshop we,ve all used a tool outside its design purpose at some stage and thought oh this is dodgy I could lose body parts here better be careful and had a safe outcome because we admitted the danger and took care.
Ones own ability means little when confronted with someone else’s lack of ability in inverse proportions at a rapid closing distance.
