Safety Cameras Doubling As Speed Cameras

[Ding]

Thought I should add, as a P plater if you get caught by one of these it doesn't apply to the rule of any speeding infraction = 4 points at least.

Friend got done the other day for 3 points for some reason.

Some of you may already be aware but they're also finishing the paperwork to support reinstating mobile speed cameras. not the ones that the cops carry, the ones with a camera that they just leave on the side of the road and flash every one. They used to have them on the roads a few years ago. They feel they can justify the move now because of the recent spike in the road toll.

Will it be policy to also juxtapose a sign saying "SPEED CAMERA" ?

Hmm the road toll went up... Lets put more hidden speed cameras up so we can pay for our holidays safety studies road safety stuff...

How about fix the damn roads, and not allow retards on the road? More speed cameras mean more people staring at their speedos instead of looking at the road

Australian roads (sydney in particular) are the worst roads in the developed world that ive come across... even some under developed areas around the world have better roads than we do,. someone should conduct a study into it, massive bludge job, travel the world and drive on roads around the world...

Try living outside of Sydney - I've lived in Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Geelong & Adelaide - Adelaide has by far worse roads than Sydney.

So basically you are correct in saying the Law doesnt say anything about speed cameras needing signs, but if you look closer the local RTA rules within NSW will overide it (unless a court says otherwise)

So yes there has to be a sign in NSW or you can get out of it even though the road rules doesn't say so.

If the court agrees (and in NSW they have in the past) that any reasonable person would think the same way, then your off the hook, only if there is no sign there...

thats why lawyers can charge like wounded bulls

Perhaps then you should leave the job of disseminating legal advice to a lawyer... Just a suggestion.
