Bleedin' Qld Copperrrss..!!

I can't see where anyone ripped shit out of your opinion Ian, all meant in jest.

So while the Victorians and Can Do Campbell get tough on bikies, the Vics get sneaky about speeding as well, only a matter of time till Can Do follows suit:-

Meanwhile in the VB state:-

Time to go for a ride to NT again methinks :)

 
The Victorian cops don't allow any margin when setting their speed traps. I've heard of folks getting booked for doing as little as 2 kph over the limit.

Australian Design Rule 18 says that vehicles manufactured before 2006 are allowed + or - 10% speedo error. 

Vehicles later than 2006 must have a "safe" speedo, which means that the actual speed must not be more than the indicated speed.

I'm pretty sure the cops will book anybody regardless of the age of the vehicle, so it might be worth arguing the case if you get pinged for a small margin over the limit in an older vehicle.

So if the cops see 3 or more Catholic priests walking along,they should stop them and harrass them.
After all,they are members of an association KNOWN to be involved in criminal activity.
 
Can't see the reasoning for guerrila tactics to catch speeders. If these cameras did the job properly then speeding would have been history years ago. The fact that loads of people still do it proves it's not working.

We have lots of fixed speed cameras in UK, around here they are highly visible and 'Dayglo Yellow', usually in an area clear of vegetation.
The reasoning is simple, it is a visual deterent. Some even don't have cameras inside! Lots of illuminated signs telling us how fast we are going as well.

There is also an experimental road on a town centre ring road near me, with no speed limits, signs or markings of any type, even the road is a confusing multitude of different brick paving colours and patterns. Everyone said it would be a disaster with pedestrians killed and accidents all over the place due to speeding. To my knowledge there have not been any accidents, it is so confusing that people drive really slowly and keep a look out.
 
From my limited experience in Oz (3 visits) I found the police to be intrusive, stopping anyone and everyone and compulsory breath test each time.
Is there a major problem with speeding and drink driving in Oz?
Or are they just cunts?

What's 500 metres long with a cunt at either end?
A speed trap.
 
Grant.. we are in the colonies.. our job as citizens is to misbehave as best we can.. and it's our colonial masters tradition to try and discourage us with fines and penalties as such.. fortunately we are very wealthy... :LOL:

Long may it continue!

Want to buy a Laverda or 3 then?
 
Don't think there is much of a problem with speeding in South Oz, the fines help the pollies keep their snouts in the trough >:(.
Drink driving is a problem, unfortunately the worst offenders don't give a shit and will keep on killing people.
 
Cops can pull you over anytime because they can, they don't really need a reason, having the badge is reason enough

try harping on about civil rights to a cop and see where that gets you

its a knee jerk reaction to a problem they cant control, they tried these tactics before and it got kicked out of the supreme court

I agree its shit, but then so are the patchies stepping over their faint toleration line
 
Get yourself a BIG chook chaser and go the dirt road option. My last few M/C trips have been a sort of an adventure riding remote tracks on the BM. Never seen a cop out there, and you can have a few beers without killing anyone and avoid a good gut kicking from Terry :D
I'm worried about my license once the Motodd is back on the road, been awhile since I've been for a serious fang on the tarmac!
