Warning-unmarked Camera Car--location--

[BASHO]

There is an unmarked camera car parked on High St between Ferry Rd and Smith St on the Hospital side it's a grey Swift or something very similar. BEWARE.

If you vere driving the Silvia it got you to

25KS over, anyone know the damage ?

And before the sanctimonious start there was nothing on the road in front except me and the Silvia 1 lane away-and in front and it was only a little burst of (untimely) enthusiasm

For a minute I was thinking High Street in Toowong, and was about to serve you a real ass tearer on a silver platter because if you know the street you'd know how stupidly dangerous it'd be to be 25 over there. But then I kept reading and realised it was Gold Coast and couldn't care less.

qld doesnt have double demerits so its 4 points and $333 unless its your second offence in 12 months

correct. qld doesn't have double demerit points over holiday periods like NSW and WA do (they are the only ones who do). we only have them for repeat offences in a 12 month period, however if people think it is double points & fines and it slows them down, then that is a good thing.

also if you are on your P's, you just lost all your points and you will be walking for the next 3 months, unless you go on a 1 point good behavior licence for a year.

Actually... one follow up.

How did you decide 25kms over the speed limit was a good idea near a hospital? What happens if an Ambulance came out of a side street running silent because they had a heart attack patient on board?

The faster you Gold Coastians can take each other out, the sooner we can build something useful down there, so I don't really care. Just wondered what made you think that was smart.

I said the same side as the hospital I was way past the hospital there is no side street for anything else to come out of its a 3 lane each way highway and had nothing except me and a Silvia going same direction on it.

Secondly --momentary lapse of judgement --it'll be my second speeding ticket in 45years of driving --.

Thirdly--I aint from the Gold Coast and nobodys managed to do anything usefull with it in the 100+ years, what makes you think that the hicks from Hicksville will do any better --mind you wouldn't be hard I spose.

Fourthly-- where do all you sanctimonious people come from ?

You meant to say "No side streets except Nerang Street & Queen Street"... right? They're the two streets that run perpendicular to High street on the hospital block. Maybe they were hard to see at high speed?

45 years not enough practice for you?

Well your information under your name says "Surfers Paradise" so easy enough mistake to make when you advertise it so proudly. And anyone could do better with the Gold Coast simply by not making it a drug and tourist hot spot. Even hicks.

Between Cougal and Johnson you as you've obviously had your little street directory out

45 years not enough practice for you?

Not me and the other 4500/5000 others booked for speeding in Qld last couple of days -not counting the score from unmarked unatended units.

Whos proud,- thats a warning.

Good breeding

Ah-Hem inbreeding is more probable.

I wonder if those around the world providing excuses/reasons/right to act in a manner deemed as inappropriate (use of a motor vehicle) would say or think the same way if they killed their mother/father/brother/sister/wife/husband/child or laid in hospital as a quadriplegic.

I know if someone provided me with an excuse/reason/right to why they injured or killed my relations it would not stand as sufficient - and God/Allah have mercy on your soul for what would happen to you.

[/rant]

[BASHO]

I'm out of this post I don't believe that there is anyone out there that hasn't knowingly exceeded trhe speed limit.

I further don't believe that anyone who drinks hasn'y knowingly driven when they're over the limit.

I posted the warning for the benefit of other members not the good of my health.

I have no interest in reading sanctimonious hypocritical bullshit.

I won't bother another time.

Until it actually affects them and their loved ones I'm sure they have as many excuses as it takes. If the answer to "why were you speeding?" is anything other than "because I was being a dickhead" then it's the wrong answer.
