Monash Freeway Police Blitz

[32brother]

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...

Good, Im sick of f**kwits sitting on my arse as I enter the eastlink site off the fwy from the left hand lane.

It's slowed to 80 for the safety of the fellas working not much further than 1m from the concrete barriers, and for the fact that trucks and light vehicles enter the site off the fwy, including my self as I said.

about time, some truck came unbelievably close to my car's rear today.....

Was going to post last night. I drove down the freeway last night through the Burnley Tunnel from Dandenong. The drive was perfect. Not one tailgater and large gaps left. Honestly I have never seen driving like this over here. Something must have hit home yesterday. Keep it up Melburnians.

Great!

I use the monash every morning and night and having just 1 cop car parked on the side of the freeway will make everyone do 20km under the speed limit if you can even get close to 100km/h during peak times and just slam on their brakes for no reason.

If the governement want to do something constructive for the monash freeway they need to do some roadworks so its not a 'carpark' every morning and night!!

Only thing i do find amusing was in the Herald sun yesterday there was an article informing the public that the police are out to stop bullying on the Monash. Referring to tailgaters and speeders etc... They showed a pic of 3 Police motor bikes spread over 3 lanes and the highway patrol car behind them... Holding up a stack of traffic... personally i think it's a great idea but blocking the freeway for a pic showing them bullying the public and blocking the road was not such a wise idea...

They actually stopped on the freeway or were they just going slow?

[Mavric]

was a photo tracid so no idea mate...

[CrispyFries]

they were just driving slow on the news last night (or the night before)

just got home from work and there was a marked car that had pulled over a camry just after warrigal rd, and few kms up the road before blackburn an unmarked dark blue commodore writing a ticket for another car..

[khunjeng]

although its not the monash...and I saw the article also...I was driving on the eastern to the city today and say 2 un-marked cars and one marked one...one the way back 2night I saw 2 marked ones...seems to be heaps about.

on another note I have an office in Broadmeadows and cops setup a vehicle check around there...good to see no Skylines were one the side...I drove past and they didn't even pull me over - I was pretty worried as who knows what they could defect me for

[INASNT]

I saw no cops on the way home on the monash today

[TracidTrax]

i havnt seen one so far

[-FUZZY-]

Seen a purple Falcon twice this week around midday having pulled over people, and one of those bright yellow HWP cars last night.

But doesn't seem to be any different to how it usually during non-peak hour times

i loath the monash, every day at 8 and every night at 5:30 i sit there and watch the $$$ fly out the window as my car sips away at my bank balance.

on the police issue, iv seen a poice car every morninig without fail but when im on there, there isnt really any way u can speed beacuse of the bogdown of traffic. i just wish that he would have been near when that truck driver almost ran up my tail because he wasnt looking and had to stand on the brakes at the last minute as i jumped 4ward as much as i could, and then he spat the dummy at me and started tailgateing me, even when i went to turn off he followed me into the turning lane but didnt go onto the offrmap, what a mega tool

just got home from work, again there was a marked car on the median at the foster road exit...

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

it starts and stops there.. seven people is an absolutely miniscule amount compared to the amount of drivers that travel along that road each day

[arep3]

i drive from beaconsfield end to police rd and back every day, 6 days a week and i still havnt once seen a cop. where are they?? so coulda used 1 today to get the como driver off my arse. couldnt even see his bonnet and i was in the left lane on the limit!

Spotted police car on the Monash - on the median strip just after Warrigal Road last night after the meeting at Bells.

Must have been about 10.45pm.

They are definately around - drive safe and smart and you wont have problems.

[saff_cossie]

I still havent seen one also. Judging by the times of the posters on here, it seems they are just after the main rush rather than during it.

[Jetdat]

yeah they are after the peak periods...

they are not gonna catch anyone speeding and pulling cars over would congest the traffic even more during those times..
