It is with great sorrow that I have to relay that I killed 96 people including myself a few weeks back, according to the Nanny State (Victoria) letter I received. I was booked, in my car, doing 63km/h in a 60km/h zone (66 'observed', alleged 63, with 3 so graciously allowed by Mein Fuhrer VicGov).

 

Even scarier than all the lives I so recklessly squandered through my cavalier driving, when I consulted the State Gov website purporting to show the locations of all fixed speed cameras in the Empire, Lo and behold there is no red or blue dot between St Andrews and Kinglake (north of Melbourne).

Obviously governments don't lie or propagate inaccuracy, like when they spout how speed cameras with low tolerance zones are not about revenue raising, so the non-existent dot but very existent fine and demerit point means the cameras are actually phantoms. Quick, rush out for cruise control on your hog, set it to 40 to be safe, or should I say SAFE, and beware the phantoms! And no blipping the throttle, as that is sure to add 4km/h to your speed and see you kill millions, cause world poverty, and disturb the neighbours to boot.

 

63? I'm just glad you survived Wait till you get pinged going down a hill or right at the end of the speed limit.

One thing that shits me is people that drive through fixed speed cameras 20 k's slower then the speed limit .

Victoria's speed camera threshold is ridiculous. Of course it's about revenue raising. They don't place them in road safety hot spots and their road toll has not changed more than other jurisdictions with a more reasonable threshold. IMHO such a small threshold actually detracts from road safety as drivers are focusing more on their speedometers than they would otherwise which results in less focus on the road.

I got pulled on Lygon st by a cop with a radar for doing 44 in a 40 zone.. so 41km/h.. 
Dude.. really?! I mean REALLY? 1 k over? Im so bad assed even the local MC dont want me!! hahahaha..

I got done by a mobile camera a few years ago at Dadswells Bridge, Victoria (big koala) doing 102 in a 100 zone.  

I got pinged here in SA a short while ago, on the road my house is on. It is an 80kph zone and they put the radar (stealth - with the monitoring vehicle tucked in behind the shrubbery) at the bottom of a fairly steep hill. So easy to creep over if you are watching the road and not your speedo..... (guess what I pay most attention to these days..)

It's interesting to note that although there is a similarly concealed position to do it on the up side of the slope, they never have the radar tracking vehicles going up.

And it's different over here, we have safety cameras, not speed cameras, so it's not about revenue raising at all.....

I am usually in the car traveling interstate, I sit on the posted speed limit stated by the signs on the side of the road, I use my GPS speed, normally at 110 (GPS) my car speedo is 118Kpm. that is both cars, a Triton and a Porsche. I have only got one speeding fine in the ACT doing 91 in an 80 zone, I missed the slowdown point and the camera was about 100m past the sign.
I must be luck, I have had 4 cautions with one from a camera.

I look at the posted speed as the limit, not the aim

My Mrs has never been booked for anything until a year ago, got done for a speed camera doing 68kph in a 60 zone. Sent a letter to Qld trans who sent a letter of comendation for being such a good driver for so long and a letter reminding her she only had 7 days left to pay the fine! Fuckers!!

Got done in Sydney CBD and later at Bathurst years ago when the camera's first come out , coppers had it setup in a bus stop on cleveland st , doing 20km over.

Coppers are planning on doing a major assault on back roads (NSW) this weekend and into early next week called operation saturation. Apparently 13 motorcyclists have been killed already in NSW this year so they are sending out extra HWY patrol and camera's to catch speeding riders on known back roads.

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me..........

Riding back into Melbourne last week, coming from the Alpine Rd so zipping home along the M31, in a 110kmh zone. I am doing 110, and sure, 110 is the limit not the aim. But two issues with the whole idea of "the limit not the aim".

One, if I am entitled to do 110 it's none of anyone's business if I do 100 or 109 or, shock horror, 110. 

Two, so I see Mr Revenue Raiser Fixed Camera. I slow to 100, apparently now a million times more safe than I would be at something like 111. Anyway, as I pass Mr Revenue Raiser Fixed Camera, of course all those millions of tax payer dollars spent at that point of the road (the cameras) couldn't spare a few dollars to make the spot flat. So I hit the bump in the road and watched as my speedo, because as you know with all this safety stuff around I am busy watching my speedo more than the road, and my speed jumps from 100 to 105. Harley throttles being sensitive to poor quality roads. Now if I was doing 110 as I am entitled to do my projected 115 would have been unsafe riding due to speed and of course nothing to do with poor quality road. So the problem with "the limit not the aim" is that there are a host of circumstances within which lawfully exercising your entitled right to be at the limit can disadvantage those more at the mercy of poor roads than others (bike v car), with low tolerance thus compounding the unfairness. 

PS: my point is really to emphasize the voluntary ceding of your entitlement is not necessarily a good thing

 

 

I wrote and had my fine from June last year withdrawn.. sadly you can oonly do it every 2 years... received this on January 1st
 

Interestingly I think only one other rider got pinged... don't know where he was in the group

[I have removed the second photo reflecting the actual plate]

I am always suspicious on the acuracy of radar when much larger objects are in the line of fire!!!!

Malcolm also got done ,,, that him in front of you Tony, he only got his fine on friday

Let's get everyone to post up their infringing photos like Uncle Ho. Or is there a law against that?

You bad bad man Ho, 12 ks over! What have you got to say for yourself!

I got caught in QLD up near Mackay by a mobile camera no warning sign's speed would be checked, before i got home to Sydney, i had the bill in the mail with a nice shot of the bike loaded up. & to pay up no if's no but's just$.

we got those mobile speed camera's in NSW now too, but i have never been caught & i ride & drive long k's. i would be happy to be able to get up to 63kph in Sydney, normaly i get stuck in traffic well below speed limit.

We dont even need camera proof now....
