Who Do You Complain To About Speed Cameras?

[inark]

Coming home yesterday afternoon in peak hour traffic down heatherton road... one of the mobile speed camera f*kwits decided he would be best to park himself in the left lane, not on a median strip out of the way, in the left lane.

WTF is the point of that? Your only going to trap people in the left lane so traffic comes to a standstill. While we were trying to get past the tool there were almost 4 accidents! 1 of them was us almost getting side swiped. People trying to pull out from behind him because traffic was backed up for at least a KM.

Ive never wanted to drag someone out of their car more and punch them in the face then right then...

its always been my life long ambition to get a hire car and the $28 insurance and come barrelling around the corner whilst trying to retreive my ciggys off the floor and ram into one and wreck the camera....."can you explain to me what happened sir?" "yes i came around the corner whilst trying to get my PJ's off the floor and as i looked up and it was all happening"

hahahaha sounds like an awesome plan... does it affect your insurance rating?

[sillylankan]

You get the rego of the car Ni????

Im not sure what to say next, but surely a rego would help if you want to lodge a complaint.

@ Troy - I can actually picture you doing exactly that

[inark]

i was seeing red... and it wasnt just his station wagon... fuming too much to get a rego, but surely they all have designated areas and operators etc at certain times so it cant be that hard for them to find who it was... i might ring the springvale police station as its there zone, they should be able to point me in the right direction.

i wanted josie to pull over so i could take photos of the spastic and all the trouble he was causing but josie wouldnt cause she said "no... u need anger management counciling and now we have a baby im not having you get arrested for assault"

i feel for you dude, i got told i have an anger problem too today! long story but i caught up with the bitch who yesterday scraped my gtst rear bar down to the plastic in her pos at the car park near where i work. She couldn't deny it though cause my paint was still on her rear quarter panel/guard but wasn't keen on paying up....

should have just called the cops saying theres some tool sitting in his car blocking up the left lane. dont mention its a radar guy just someone suspicious taking photos..looks like a terrorist activity. sit back and wait for SAS to woop some ass.

its fine - you cant complain about someone parking there

unless its a clearway zone you have no leg to stand on - well that i can see

its like yelling at people who stop to park - they are allowed to but everyone abuses them

its usually the people who arent watching or tailgate too closely who get stuck

I liked the story of the guy who snuck up on a speed camera car, stole the number-plate and fitted it to his car.

Then proceeded to get booked speeding a large number of times.

Hilarity ensued

That said, Troy's idea is better.

yeah but its not just someone parking on the side of the road because they have to go somewhere... surely there are rules and regulations these dipshits have to follow... the worse thing was he was only about 50m from a major intersection so people coming around the corner are all getting trapped there.

As far as I know every mobile camera location has to be 'approved' as the setup needs to be right for the fines to be legal. You could probably take it up with someone but I couldn't imagine it would get too far so I would go with troy or james idea

Its kinda like that time in the streets I used to park for work....I got done by a parking inspector a couple of times for being over the time by like 5 mins...naturally I had a bit of resentment towards them and one day I had to leave early....what do I find on the walk to my car but the parking inspectors car parked HALFWAY over someones driveway. I thought this couldn't be legal so I called the council to complain pretending to be the home owner I chuckle everytime I think about it but the chances are that the bloke never got repremanded let alone a ticket

I prefer what the brits do, burn them, we have the added complication of the operator but I'm sure they burn just fine too.

It's 4RAR on the East Coast, TAG-E

Just sayin.

Something similar happened in the city a few months ago. A 4X4 went past the speed camera, and flash, he was speeding. He then turns around aims, and drives full pelt at the operator in the car. Smashed in the front of the car and and wedged it up against a tree. Police were there in about 2 min with about 4 or 5 cars, as the car and operator are alarmed.

Call Vic Police, as they have overall responsibility.

some of you guys have some funny ideas lol

shouldnt they be parked on the grass/nature strip facing on a bit of an angle?
