Speed Cameras: How they work?

[Guest Austin Powers]

DR GTR, didn't you say you work for the NSW police department? You should know all this speeding shit, right?

With the sensor points, it can be avoided on a bike but not in a car....unless you drive on the bloody footpath. haha.

[cereal]

Nah........He works in Forensics

Went for a drive down the coast on the w/e. Camera detection pads on only 1 side of two lane road with unbroken lines. i.e pass someone at 90kmh+ and don't get caught while overtaking, or even safer, drive on the other side of the road if your speeding and no camera action.

Thumbs up to the dickflops at the RTA!!!!!

[Guest Nightsky]

So Rhys, in effect what your saying is that the rta is responsible for you driving down the coast on the wrong side of the road at twice the legal limit? :lol:

[REDGTT]

hey my brothers.what do these sensors look like?

[fatz]

very small strips, you can see them at 100 so they r pretty visable

pete

[REDGTT]

Pete so the danger line is only for a short distance?

[REDGTT]

oh BTW pete does your friend still have the 4wd problem? And for which gtr again?

[Duncan]

3 strips are about 1 metre apart across lanes. Look exactly like the strips you see at traffic lights. Speed freely after you're over them.

[REDGTT]

Thanks duncan. LOL

have you tried this yourself?

[Duncan]

Always.

Its an important part of changing public opinion.

Every do-gooder that see me do it thinks "wow, that idiot knew where the speed camera was and slowed down for it, then sped up after it. They don't slow ppl down at all"

Come on everyone, join the revolution

[fatz]

yup they r only over a short distance

dr havent sen him since the last track day, didi you get yours sorted

pete

[REDGTT]

Yep Pete I chaned the TPS as the consult showed an error code from the TPS mentioning sometihng about the ABS.

I had a go and now the light hasnt come on for 4 days. Even if I sit and idle.

So cross my fingers. I can say when the problem was there it would come on everyday!

DUncan. you legend I am going to have a go!

I saw the lines you speak of. They are very faint lines. 3 of them on each lane.

So thats the only section you must pass on the speed limit and after that booommmmmm!!!!!!

[FRISKI]

So it's official, speed cameras don't slow us down long enough as straight after the stripes it's pedal to the metal. Other option if got caught, see the photo if there's another car there, it was that car which was speeding not me.

[swoop]

It's ok to avoid speeding cameras when you know they are around, but what do you do to avoid losing the points and maintain your perfect driving record once you've been Kodaked?

Easy, just put it on your mum's license and tell them she was driving your beast at 180km. hahah. That's what I did and I'm still on me Gold...haha

[swoop]

If you are Vietnamese like me, the chances are you prob have several people in your family who has gold license but never drives....they are the perfect candidate to cop your points, as long as you pay the fine.

[cereal]

HAHAHA.....swoop, your poor family must all have the worst driving records......

[swoop]

haha. Don't laugh...they do...especially me mum...the cops probably thinks me mum's a real bad ass street racer...she copped a red light for me once as well. Luv ya mum!!!

[skylark]

I'd have to be a total quadraplegic and not be able to drive my car with my tongue to ever get a gold licence.

Maybe my Nan needs some skyline lessons.

[cereal]

HAHAHA......

I've got an image of my parents street racing in my head.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
