Police blitz Monash Freeway

Mon 10 July 2006

Police are giving motorists one days warning about a 24-hour traffic operation along the Monash Freeway that will run for the next month.

Operation Linker involves traffic police from Regions 1, 4 and 5 and will target speed, mobile phone use and vehicles that are following too closely.

Assistant Commissioner (Region 4) Bob Hastings said Operation Linker was the first of its kind along the Monash Freeway.

“Operation Linker is a unique operation designed to address the specific problems police see along the Monash Freeway,” Assistant Commissioner Hastings said.

“Police will be targeting the 51-kilometre stretch of road from Melbourne through to Beaconsfield.

“The Monash Freeway is utilised by thousands of Victorians every day. Through sustained enforcement efforts combining traffic resources from three Regions, this operation is designed to decrease side-swipe and rear-end collisions commonly caused by speed, mobile phone use and following too closely.

“Operation Linker aims to make the Monash safer for all motorists.”

The operation will begin Tuesday 11 July and conclude on Monday 7 August.

Seven people have died on the Monash Freeway since 1 January 2000.

There were 4,695 collisions on the Monash Freeway between October 2000 and August 2005. Of those, 82% of collisions involved cars, 12% involved heavy vehicles and motor cycles and other vehicles accounted for the remaining 6%.

What about the collisions police don't get involved with? Who counts those?

Good to see it targetting a broader range of offences.

Hang on, just realised this is the Monash and not the Princes! Damn I use this most days. Where were they this morning when some t|t decided to sit on my rear bumper as I passed a truck at 100kph!

Have noticed probably over the past month the increase in police patrolling the Monash freeway in general espec between the Warrigal - Jacksons road area..

For any that do travel near Jacksons road be careful speed slows to 80 just before the off ramp and the police have been know to sit in this area to catch the ones over 80...

Sad thing is even with this warning people will still get caught speeding or doing something stupid…

Slow down and make sure it’s not you….

i think these sort of posts are utterly ridiculous, not bagging no one, ok

paul :dry:

if your doing the right thing you wont get caught, or need to read this, i travel the monash fwy from warrigal to burke road everyday ... never had problem, seen plenty of cops, both in my skyline and current car.

none have even looked at me twice.

do the right thing, and you shouldnt need a warning i guess im trying to say ...

as soon as ppl obey the road laws (which are there for good reason no matter what some fully sick habib thinks) then no one will have to worry :D

It's a post for discussion, not to warn users. What would a forum be without discussion ;)

If you're dumb enough to get caught then cop it sweet, I drive it every day too. Never had an issue :D

paul :P

Tis a double negative so really you are bagging him :D

These sort of posts are informative without be rude about the Police so do serve a purpose mate. I am happy to have been told about this considering ordinarilly I use the Monash 10 times a week.

You are right if you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear though. :ermm:

GOOD.

Get some of the crap, retarded drivers off the Monash. I am referring to the drivers out there who love to tailgate and/or use mobile phones while driving. :P

I think this is a awesome idea.

Remember - dont break the law and you wont get caught :D

And the one that can't merge.... you know the ones, in Camrys with bowling hats on the parcel shelf :P

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
