Well, I suppose you guys in Vic saw the news regarding the new police tactics on the Black Spur.

So for our interstate friends.............

This is for real. Cops hiding in the bush wearing camo gear with binoculars and speed guns.

They have been doing that for years, cost me 6 points in one day - Doh...............

lisa im with you on this ive grandkids i want to see grow up,i dont need some out off control clown wiping me or anyone else out,if the want to play race rider go do it on a track.i to am not a cop but i bet we get a floggin about this lisa.

Sneaky, under the carpet - make up your own rules, a licence to collect money - the more money you collect the faster you go up the ladder.
I know the Police have a job to do - without them it would be first up best dressed - But fairs fair - This just stinks.

I can feel a poll coming on!
Why do the Police wants the public to stop speeding
Revenue
To stop the Carnage
Because its there job
Because they really care, hehe
The more bookings they get the more browny points they get
I could go on

hi Lisa when are you heading off ?

Get the Cop's out from their hiding behind tree's , Speed camera car's , etc etc "Revenue raising" & get em out on the street , this way they are seen by the public & maybe this will slow down ppl . "oohh" i forgot  , if Cop's are seen by the public & we slow down "No Fine's are issued"  dont be fooled this Government wants every $$$ they can get  ..

dont like volvos,we risk our lives everytime we go out from some fool in a cage not seeing us,yer my safety is the way i ride thats why the idiot farner in tractor didnt hit me sunday(didnt see me till i was beside him),i dont rely on others skill i dont trust anyone, news flash not so new 6 months on crutches and more pain with pysio because dont matter how much skills you have sometimes there just isnt anywhere to go,dont want to lock up rest of society just get some others take care,if i was deluded i wouldnt be on the bike id be in the bloody volvo with a hat on

Soon enough they will take a photo of us getting onto any hwy then another photo of us getting off the hwy, work out the distance - then the time it took - and bang - a little suprise in the mail.
Then if you don't receive your bill, they take your licence, without you knowing, then charge you to get it back.
"All for the good of the community" - or will it be for the $$$$$$$$

Sorry Lisa but how is them hiding in the trees going to stop the nongs cleaning you up on a corner?

My issue is single focus policing - I would rather see more police on the roads , on the beat looking for all manner of law breaking rather than zoning in on speeding alone
Twice on the Western Highway I was nearly cleaned up by firstly a ute overloaded with hay bales , falling off the ute and secondly a semi crossing double lines to overtake coming at me - with in 2kms there was a speed camera set up - if it was a cop car - then I would have politely asked them to undertake some appropriate traffic management for the sake of all road users
( see - we can be polite if we try !)

They have been there for at least 12 months doing it.. Ive been through there while they have been there, infact 20 or so of us in a group. Stuck to speed limits had no prob. But in saying that, could of been smoko or something lol. We wernt doing nothing wrong just soaking up some great country side.

No Matter what they do it wont stop any Dickheads

piss funny what a pack of idiots .

Absolutely correct, the two bastards give us all a bad name

we can all see from the video the riders breaking the law, passing in a no pass area, exceed the speed limit to achieve it, they get the right to pay a fine.

the other two bastards on the hill is sneaky and down right rude.
on the up side, the bikes were pulled over on the spot and "pro active" policing takes place, a better way than receiving a fine in the mail a month later

Cheez, one little push and he would be rolling down the hill,

Here are some interesting facts that relate to this lively debate.
I'm a 4 pointer so don't mind slowing down one more fine and license done. hahahahah mind you it ain't illegal if they don't see ya.

In a common variation on this myth, the road lobby points to the lower road toll per capita in Germany, a country generously provided with non-speed-restricted autobahns. It is certainly true that, according to the OECD's International Road Traffic and Accident Database (IRTAD), Germany's road toll of 8.5 per 100,000 population is lower than Australia's road toll of 9 per 100,000 population. But the real reason for this is that Germans simply do not drive as much as we do (even though they own just as many cars). Sure enough, if one goes to the IRTAD figures for deaths per billion vehicle kilometres (a better measure of actual exposure risk), one gets the opposite story: Germany's toll of 11.3 per billion veh-km actually exceeds Australia's toll of 9.1 per billion veh-km.

The only OECD countries with a lower fatality risk than Australia (whether per person or per vehicle kilometre) are the Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands and Britain - all of which have high use of public transport, walking and cycling, along with road safety policies that focus on driver behaviour rather than expansion of limited-access roads.

In summary, empirical evidence both from Melbourne and overseas confirms that road-building leads to higher traffic volumes and hence more crashes, while on the other hand countries with higher public transport use than Australia tend to have a lower per-capita road toll as well.
