Coming down from Richmond Rd towards M4 via Knox Rd this morning at 6am, and you know the senario.........hmm 60 zone and it's notorious for our" jump out and wake you up radar traps", so I'll take it easy.

Looking down the road on the left hand side, no worries!

Blink WTF, some sporny bas*ard in and unmarked white Falcon wagon, did he get me or was it someone else, when it blinked I reckon I was bordering mid to high 60s."I'm not sure if that was a cop"

So I turns around to have a better look, I pull up behind said car, no one in it, hmmm, get out the ute for a better look, copper doing his crossword lay across the back seat

Tap tap tap, "yeah wadyawant"," are you allowed to do this?, I say". "Yeah", was the reply.

I thought unmarked wasn't allowed unless a warning sign was permanently installed within a certain distance of the radar area?
Whats that there then?............would you believe, about 20 yards in front of the car was the smallest blue sign saying speed checks in progress was propped up!!!!!!

Since when can they blink ya in an unmarked car in NSW, if they can thats farked.

Ah well, looks like a low level speeding infringment on the way, way to go Mr. Howard and the NSW goverment.

Rant over

Bugger Damo, if its any consoaltion all our radar cars are pretty much unmarked

Bugger!!

That sux..... just think if you were on the bike you could have been worse
Did ya see the camera set up?

That's a pisser mate. The buggers sit on the M7 pretty regularly although the car is a marked white wagon. From the back it just looks like someone pulled up on the side of the road.

Shoulda pulled off his number plate, put it on the bike and sped through a whole bunch of times, let the bastard book himself a few dozen times....

If he was so uninterested in the licences and jobs he was loosing people he probably deserves it.

Marked cameras cars?? Sheesh all the sneaky buggers are unmarked for us Mexicans.

We have vans with huge signs on the roof which, until recently, only setup within defined areas

Bugge alright Damon...

In vic, anything thats on the side of the road (not just holden/ford sedans) that are 3 years or less old, generally slow down if you get the geebies!!!

Shocking down here.

have seen an old toyta Ute, one of the big mf utes on Frankston Dandeonig road masking a speed camera so can't even feel safe looking for anything around the 3 year old mark...

Riding the pushie home the other day (sob sob) and passed the radar trap with copper reading paper in the back, the obligitory sign 50 metres down the road so you know what the flash was for.
Being the decent citizen I am (and seeing as the copper was paying no attention) I took the sign and placed it 100 metres in FRONT of the car where the confused officer had obvisouly MEANT to put it ...

Like I say just a good citizen

damn straight, it's not liek they are trying to CATCH anyone, god forbid!!
