Ne Unmarked Radars

[533EYA]

Alright people i was just travelling along wuduru road in mt cotton and i passed a champagne nissan patrol, that had no signage or police stickers.

It looked a bit suss so I did the U banger and went back to have a look and ended up chatting to one of queenslands finest for the last 20 minutes.

Apparently the amazing queensland government are trialling 3 new unmarked radars, but he could only tell me he thought one of the others was a blue van :dunno:

These new unmarked cars do not need to have any signs present, and you won't even notice them. So it doesn't pay to speed...

Just thought I would let everyone know

cheers

[berzerker]

is that even legal?

i thought all radar traps have to be signed.

[Jezboosted]

betcha the blue van is a mercedes vito

[hojak]

I call shenanigans.

[DAS KAMU]

makes me want to vomit shards of my own pelvis

i mean wtf!

a marked car will save lives

this is just gayer than 10000 money shots in the mouth of bert newton!

[gumflapper]

i guess in these tough financial economic times our wonderful QLD gov needs more revenue...

a$$holes

[TIR60]

dead set faggots.

now i got to look out for everyhitn parked on the side of the road. soon i'm gonna have to put a speed cut of 80km/h on my car as aposed to 300km/h ffs!!!

[sneki81]

i dont think they will last long

the general public will kick up that big of a fuss over this.

its bs though what the are doing.

Do any of you watch the news? Round christmas they were warning everyone that speed cameras where now going to be unmarked in 2009 AND more hand held detectors will be carried on board cars. they are trying to stop people ringing people and warning them about speed camera's, to try an catch more people to raise money so they can upgrade the area they hold there christmas party. They think that this will make people more cautious when diving because you will never know what a camera car is going to be next. Black mercede vans are the only ones i have seen unmarked so far.

And the general public are mostly behind it. You only get caught if you are doing something wrong.

SPEEDING = Voluntary Tax

Don't want to pay don't speed.......mmmmm could it be that simple.......

[bloodzkull]

yep. funny how they announce unmarked radar, fines going up, and a almost definate bad budget all within a couple months hey

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

Yep and real criminals get off or serve minimal sentences.. You gotta wait hrs for police to turn up to a real crime (if the do at all)..

and to top that off the police braeak laws all over the place.. Speeding, parking in Loading docks or DO NOT PARK.. places... All to get their food to feed their fat guts..

The System FTL

once again reference to the "growing road toll" even my nephew could figure out that the road toll grows in-line with the population growth....there is a baseline % of fatalities each year, it doesn't really change and may actually be less, but that multiplied by a larger population of drivers = a bigger number.

Why are the "top" people in government so thick?

Unmarked speed cameras doesn't stop speeding, it just makes people more resentful.

This is the sort of simplistic crap we constantly see from Government talking heads, not real drivers.

Do you actually watch your speedo ALL THE TIME????? I know on my recently changed 90k highway, I spend way too much time watching the speedo instead of the road.

Really clever thinking here.......NOT !!!!!!

The rationale is that we go out and buy a new car with cruise control for the straights and hills, and nice big brakes to wear out on the downhills.

saw the unmarked gold patrol under the bridge near ormeau on the M1 southbound this morning.

I saw an unmarked blue vito out on the Cunningham H'way a few weeks ago. No speed camera sign out or anything.

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah this was published in the sunday mail about 3 weeks ago (round new years)...

I dislike speed cameras as much as everyone else, but unfortunatlly there here to stay...

But i think if you get fined you should get a framed A4 gloss photo for your money

I've had one speeding ticket in my life and am now 32yrs old. Ive owned in this order a Nissan Bluebird, VK Wagon, Torana(modded), Ford Laser, Vx ss(modded), VL Turbo(highly modded), Vy ss(modded) and now my skyline(highly modded).

Unfortunately people get done for doing as little as 11k's over the speed limit including Ma and Pa Kettles through to the higher end of the spectrum.

Don't like it move to Vic where there speed cameras (I believe) start at 5 k's over then you can whinge about revenue raising. Pull your hand off it about looking at your speedo all the time. Speed is one of the fatal four like it or lump it.

Speed Cameras are better than no deterrent.....

If you are doing 11k's or more over the speed limit then your not paying enough attention and deserve whats coming to you.

DON'T SPEED = DON'T GET FINED

NOTE ***** IM SORRY I MUST NOT BE A REAL DRIVER JUST A REALIST

Harden up Buttercup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TIR60]

yea but dude. it is sometimes hard to drive around all day in a fast car with out at least once wanting to wind out one gear.

i just say keep your eyes peeled

Take your turbo off then might save you a speeding fine.

And remember, no 'winding out' on public roads, that's what racing tracks are for.
