Travelling Sydney>Canberra Over New Years? Read This.

[31GUN]

Every year on the freeway stretch between Campbelltown and the Picton/Wollongong exit, the Police set up a large operation at the truck stop around Menangle/Douglas Park

8-10 Police cars, sometimes more, marked and unmarked, the pull over supposedly modified cars and herd them into the truck stop where some fairly heavy handed defecting takes place.

It is centred around people travelling to Summernats which is January 3 til 6, so expect them from new years day on.

They target anything not absolutely stock looking, and patrol both North and South directions.

Even a set of wheels will get you roadsided.

Even if your car is on a trailer, if it has plates on it, you'll get done.

And don't be fooled into taking it off the trailer because they "want to have a look at it".

Best to avoid this stretch of freeway at that time.

So the alternative from Campbelltown would be...

Appin Rd > Princes Hwy Bulli > Illawarra Hwy Albion Park > Macquarie Pass > Bowral > Hume Hwy Sutton Forest?

Or...

Appin Rd > Princes Hwy Bulli > Nowra > Kings Hwy just before Batemans Bay > Clyde Mtn > Braidwood > Canberra?

Is Nowra Rd totally sealed now down to Kings Hwy Braidwood btw?

I may go down to Sussex Inlet for a bit.

Appin Rd> Wilton> Picton Rd> freeway.

Narellan Rd> Camden bypass> Razorback> Picton> Picton Rd> freeway.

There isnt anything anyone can do. Thanks for the tip off Hooks. Ill be heading to Melb on the2nd... Ill be making sure Mums company Santa Fe looks stock lol. Its pretty shit targeting Summer Nats. They complain they want people to go to organised events and not drag and do burnouts on the streets but when an event is organised they try to stop it. Maybe the modded car scene needs to do what taxi drivers and truckies do and park up the CBD for a few hours. Sooner or later they will realise the defecting and impounding isnt working and start to target the problem drivers and not the car.

Don't forget to stop and play on the submarine at Holbrook Fordy

I donated 300 there last year

Nice blokes... Well informed.. Apparently my stock air box was a bov

Noise testing 15 metres from motorway is a tad questionable

I did learn that a stock gtr exhaust is over the db limit though

not wrong there

the only way to keep an R33 GTR under the limit is putting the R33 GTST on it (after a little cutting, adjusting and welding)

When I was noise tested (by a real exhaust shop) he was telling me that dependent on the type of location they can remove a certain amount of DBA off the reading, light industrial gets 2DBA they can remove, a motorway would mean they have to remove more!

Frigging idiots!

I can understand them patrolling and RBTing everything, because we all know after you watch some "car action" te spectators nearly always want to be clowns, so they deserve to be done for speeding and drink driving etc, but they really need to train these coppers up some more on what things are!

I'm glad my car looks stock as (only thing different is rims, and they're a factory size and mimic the factory shape, and no I didn't buy them, they were on the car when I got it.)

Cops are nazi's, we are jews. Nothing but hate towards us

Sure is working unfortunately! How many half decent done up cars so you see out on the road on the weekends these days? Stuff all!

[pdot]

well we've just entered the world of skylines, it sounds like we have a lot to look forward to.

If your old you'll be safe.

[GTR-N1]

All the same Genelle; I won't tempt fate. > Terry will go from Northern Rd across the M5 and pick up Appin Rd > Gong > Nowra to see ya

[Humbla]

Good idea T,on my way back from qld i saw dozens of hwp an unmarked every where.

[GTR-N1]

Not one sign of HWP along Appin Rd (bypassing M5) yesterday & today.

Mobile speed cam stationed along Northern Rd Penrith around the middle of the day today.

Cheers
