I think it's only the ones on the Hume HWY bypass that snap you over distance.

I'd imagine it would be too hard to do the same on the Ring Road, with the variable speed limit.

To clarify, it's the Craigieburn Bypass/Hume FWY which has the "Time-Over-Distance Speed Camera's".. the Hume HWY is still the north end of Sydney Rd.

The Western Ring Rd only has fixed/variable speed cameras, which have all been replaced now, so if you check your speed before you get to them it's all good.

There's a few speed cameras on the Hume Hwy as well, like there's a Dual Speed/Redlight Camera on cnr Barry Rd and Hume Hwy, 1min South of the Ford H/O. Also another at Sydney Rd cnr Gaffney St.

Oh and btw the Time Over Distance cameras on the Craigieburn Bypass are completely obvious if you're looking for them.. slightly harder to spot at night tho... esp with the distracting, blinding neons on the bridges right next to them.

Yes, But where are the time/distance cameras on the ring road? They are up there somewhere. It was all over the media, people were bitching about it because they were going up just in time for the easter holidays........

Pardon me for raising this thread from the dead but I have actually had a run on West Ring Road today...

I think I ran past the first fixed safety camera location in Laverton North doing around 115-120 KM/h. Then I realised that I have sped and slowed down to about 90-95 KM/H for most of the journey from then onwards.

Am I gonna get a fine of "Speed by 10 KM/H or more but Less than 25 KM/H $215.00 3 Demerit Points" or will I be "ok?"

I have not had a speeding fine for over 7 years and have all my demerits points so this upsetting as I am usually a careful driver. I am planning on applying for an "official warning" if I do get the fine... not sure if it will work though.

Opinions?

I drive on the ring road 7 days a week, and pass through 3 camera points on each trip to and from work. I know where the 6 camera locations I pass are, so I make sure I'm at the limit at those points.

I don't really speed excessively period, but in 3 years of doing that you'd think I would probably have gone faster than the point to point time (if there even is a point to point system in place on the ring road) and I've never copped a fine.

They're a bit shifty with the roadworks at the moment too...putting an 80km/h speed sign about 50m before a camera point...Coulda sworn there was a law that says the speed can't be changed within 200m of the camera point...or if it is, the camera can't get you for being over that speed...

You'll probably just get the first fine from the first camera. I'm 90% sure the WRR cameras aren't speed over distance, just speed as you pass them.

yeh i think its just eh cragieburn bypass that are the distance ones :laugh:

Yeh I saw that the other night, just before the pascoe vale road bridge, the 80km/h sign was about 5m infront of the lines on the road for the camera....dunno what speed I was doing but it was prob somewhere between 80 and 100...will see if the fine comes :thumbsup:

Contest it if it does come

Update for those who chimed in:

About 5 weeks ago I got the fine in the mail...i got done doing 9 KMs over the limit.

Because of my proven clean record I applied for an official warning... and today I got it :rofl:

They waved the 130 buck fine plus the demirit points.

So for those with clean driving records that got done by a fixed speed camera... ask for an official warning!

^^ how did you do that?

if you have a clean driving record for 3 years you can apply for a warning. I got my first fine 5 days before I got off my P's...had it been 5 days later they would have granted me the warning, but instead they sent me a letter saying that as I hadn't had 3 full years of driving (L's don't count unfortunately) the fine would stand.

i mean whats the process?

you have to send a letter stating that you're applying for a warning based on your flawless driving record etc...

I'd give you the address/details, but I don't have em on me anymore.

PM saff_cossie...he should be able to give you the info you need

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
