Some camera operators I had discussions with are so sick of bikers being dickheads thinking they can "get away with it" that they will go out of their way to catch them.

The thing all riders need to remember is that if you keep speeding past cameras and flipping them off etc they will find ways to make our lives harder and harder... front plates... crackdown operations... the more you piss them off the more they will retaliate.

Look at hoons in cars, their pathetic gay wanky jap toy cars with blowdryers for exhausts have now brought about the new noise testing laws. So their own stupid actions brought about tough measures against them... and we get caught as by-catch with bike exhausts generally being louder and now the target of many a complaint to police.

Umm, err, hmm. I've never flipped the bird. Or a wheelstand (although I'm fucking tempted some days). I don't tend to slow down though... One speed camera ticket in 20 years, but that was on the Hubba Bridge and it was parked on the median facing forward (on my right if that makes sense). It's just not cricket.

Yeah seen them parked up by the median barrier moving machine thingy's storage garage thingy.

They also park way too close to the change in speed signs where it goes from higher to lower speed zones. They may have changed the rules on this but it used to require a 250m buffer.

RED VAN??!?!one11 on the way back... Just got past it, saw its big fat turd coming out, saw the speedo (65, oops!) Braked hard and am still hoping nothing becomes of it...
