Police blitz Monash Freeway

Mon 10 July 2006

Operation Linker main image

Police are giving motorists one days warning about a 24-hour traffic operation along the Monash Freeway that will run for the next month.

Operation Linker involves traffic police from Regions 1, 4 and 5 and will target speed, mobile phone use and vehicles that are following too closely.

Assistant Commissioner (Region 4) Bob Hastings said Operation Linker was the first of its kind along the Monash Freeway.

“Operation Linker is a unique operation designed to address the specific problems police see along the Monash Freeway,” Assistant Commissioner Hastings said.

“Police will be targeting the 51-kilometre stretch of road from Melbourne through to Beaconsfield.

“The Monash Freeway is utilised by thousands of Victorians every day. Through sustained enforcement efforts combining traffic resources from three Regions, this operation is designed to decrease side-swipe and rear-end collisions commonly caused by speed, mobile phone use and following too closely.

“Operation Linker aims to make the Monash safer for all motorists.”

The operation will begin Tuesday 11 July and conclude on Monday 7 August.

Seven people have died on the Monash Freeway since 1 January 2000.

There were 4,695 collisions on the Monash Freeway between October 2000 and August 2005. Of those, 82% of collisions involved cars, 12% involved heavy vehicles and motor cycles and other vehicles accounted for the remaining 6%.

What about the collisions police don't get involved with? Who counts those?

Good to see it targetting a broader range of offences.

Hang on, just realised this is the Monash and not the Princes! Damn I use this most days. Where were they this morning when some t|t decided to sit on my rear bumper as I passed a truck at 100kph!

Have noticed probably over the past month the increase in police patrolling the Monash freeway in general espec between the Warrigal - Jacksons road area..

For any that do travel near Jacksons road be careful speed slows to 80 just before the off ramp and the police have been know to sit in this area to catch the ones over 80...

Sad thing is even with this warning people will still get caught speeding or doing something stupid…

Slow down and make sure it’s not you….

i think these sort of posts are utterly ridiculous, not bagging no one, ok

paul :dry:

if your doing the right thing you wont get caught, or need to read this, i travel the monash fwy from warrigal to burke road everyday ... never had problem, seen plenty of cops, both in my skyline and current car.

none have even looked at me twice.

do the right thing, and you shouldnt need a warning i guess im trying to say ...

as soon as ppl obey the road laws (which are there for good reason no matter what some fully sick habib thinks) then no one will have to worry :D

It's a post for discussion, not to warn users. What would a forum be without discussion ;)

If you're dumb enough to get caught then cop it sweet, I drive it every day too. Never had an issue :D

paul :P

Tis a double negative so really you are bagging him :D

These sort of posts are informative without be rude about the Police so do serve a purpose mate. I am happy to have been told about this considering ordinarilly I use the Monash 10 times a week.

You are right if you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear though. :ermm:

GOOD.

Get some of the crap, retarded drivers off the Monash. I am referring to the drivers out there who love to tailgate and/or use mobile phones while driving. :P

I think this is a awesome idea.

Remember - dont break the law and you wont get caught :D

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
