I think it's only the ones on the Hume HWY bypass that snap you over distance.

I'd imagine it would be too hard to do the same on the Ring Road, with the variable speed limit.

To clarify, it's the Craigieburn Bypass/Hume FWY which has the "Time-Over-Distance Speed Camera's".. the Hume HWY is still the north end of Sydney Rd.

The Western Ring Rd only has fixed/variable speed cameras, which have all been replaced now, so if you check your speed before you get to them it's all good.

There's a few speed cameras on the Hume Hwy as well, like there's a Dual Speed/Redlight Camera on cnr Barry Rd and Hume Hwy, 1min South of the Ford H/O. Also another at Sydney Rd cnr Gaffney St.

Oh and btw the Time Over Distance cameras on the Craigieburn Bypass are completely obvious if you're looking for them.. slightly harder to spot at night tho... esp with the distracting, blinding neons on the bridges right next to them.

Yes, But where are the time/distance cameras on the ring road? They are up there somewhere. It was all over the media, people were bitching about it because they were going up just in time for the easter holidays........

Pardon me for raising this thread from the dead but I have actually had a run on West Ring Road today...

I think I ran past the first fixed safety camera location in Laverton North doing around 115-120 KM/h. Then I realised that I have sped and slowed down to about 90-95 KM/H for most of the journey from then onwards.

Am I gonna get a fine of "Speed by 10 KM/H or more but Less than 25 KM/H $215.00 3 Demerit Points" or will I be "ok?"

I have not had a speeding fine for over 7 years and have all my demerits points so this upsetting as I am usually a careful driver. I am planning on applying for an "official warning" if I do get the fine... not sure if it will work though.

Opinions?

I drive on the ring road 7 days a week, and pass through 3 camera points on each trip to and from work. I know where the 6 camera locations I pass are, so I make sure I'm at the limit at those points.

I don't really speed excessively period, but in 3 years of doing that you'd think I would probably have gone faster than the point to point time (if there even is a point to point system in place on the ring road) and I've never copped a fine.

They're a bit shifty with the roadworks at the moment too...putting an 80km/h speed sign about 50m before a camera point...Coulda sworn there was a law that says the speed can't be changed within 200m of the camera point...or if it is, the camera can't get you for being over that speed...

You'll probably just get the first fine from the first camera. I'm 90% sure the WRR cameras aren't speed over distance, just speed as you pass them.

yeh i think its just eh cragieburn bypass that are the distance ones :laugh:

Yeh I saw that the other night, just before the pascoe vale road bridge, the 80km/h sign was about 5m infront of the lines on the road for the camera....dunno what speed I was doing but it was prob somewhere between 80 and 100...will see if the fine comes :thumbsup:

Contest it if it does come

Update for those who chimed in:

About 5 weeks ago I got the fine in the mail...i got done doing 9 KMs over the limit.

Because of my proven clean record I applied for an official warning... and today I got it :rofl:

They waved the 130 buck fine plus the demirit points.

So for those with clean driving records that got done by a fixed speed camera... ask for an official warning!

^^ how did you do that?

if you have a clean driving record for 3 years you can apply for a warning. I got my first fine 5 days before I got off my P's...had it been 5 days later they would have granted me the warning, but instead they sent me a letter saying that as I hadn't had 3 full years of driving (L's don't count unfortunately) the fine would stand.

i mean whats the process?

you have to send a letter stating that you're applying for a warning based on your flawless driving record etc...

I'd give you the address/details, but I don't have em on me anymore.

PM saff_cossie...he should be able to give you the info you need

Well I wrote off my folks commodore when I just had my Ps for 3 weeks :rofl:

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
