Speed Camera On Mitchel Fwy

[Boss-zilla]

It's a redish flash. It does flash at night time.

Which would mean its not an infrared camera, the naked eye CAN NOT see infrared light is what i am saying.

The moltinova's are a joke, on the east cost the speed camera units are mounted in the car on the dash and all you can see from the out side is the flash unit which looks similar to a "roo shoo" but bigger and there is no signs advising that you have either passed or are going to pass a speed camera unless it is in testing.

I think it's so it doesnt blind you

From memory it's a little red light then a flash? I dunno eh..

It really doesnt effect me i dont care about paying for insurance which i dont think is going up because of a few incidents and even if it was i sincerly doubt it would be that much to even worry about. That is like people that complain about the price of petrol who cares it is a necessity that you have to have, no matter how much you complain it wont stop rising(just like the more people that start getting there licence the more people on the road and inevitably insurance would go up as well, with out isolated incidents like people speeding in foreign cars to boost it up) Comments about hooning dont mean much i find them quite funny actually, iam not a hoon i have only lost one point ever for 80 in a 70 and that 70 zone use to be an 80 north lake road so it doesnt bother me, i would probably be more of a hoon in a escort rather than a skyline. if you are susceptible to things such as you have mentioned - 10$ increase in your premium - people calling you a hoon - lame news articles.

Then god knows what you would do if someone pulled up next to you and wanted to race...you just might have to haha but iam sure you never have.

maybe i just dont take driving a imported car as seriously as i should because i dont heed all these warnings and properganda.

Lighten up man i think there are bigger issues in perth and around the world than those god damn street racers.

Point was you said it didn't affect you. I was just explaining why it did. How much of an effect depends on you. Oh and it is not a $10 increase in premiums. Try comparing a quote for a modified Skyline to a bog stock Falcadore. The difference is bloody ridiculous. Then try getting the same insurance after you have had a licence suspension.

The last time someone pulled up next to me and wanted to race my Mum was sitting in the passengers seat.....so I just ignored the fkwits in the Commodre like I usually do. I get far more amusement racing against my mates in their cars at places such as Wanneroo, Collie & at hillclimbs. You should try it one day. Infact check the laptimes thread in the motorsport section. See if you can post a halfway competitive time.....

Yes there are bigger issues than street racers. Far bigger issues. Which is why the sooner they & the hype surrounding them goes away the better off everyone will be.

FYI its so they can read your number plate. If you look at photo's people have taken when its dark of their car the number plate reflect too much light so it just looks white.

so anyway OP is still screwed.

hang on redlight camera or speed camera.. cause last time i checked they were a different system?? sorry if i'm wrong

but if it's a speed camera best bet would be to stock up on ky jelly

[MattyP]

The red light is so it doesnt' blind you at night, as the normal flash if they used that will blind you for sure.

I know as my mum use to work in the Police camera department. She also gave me a framed photo of my first Kodak moment with a multinova for Xmas one year.

Holy shit, the only thing more appalling than the flaming going on, is the lack of spelling and grammar in this thread....

Very lolbarn

[GODTHRILA]

for everyones sake... lets get this thread closed.

the question was ... what to expect

the answer is ... a big fine and demerit points at some point in time as a minimum

it was on the mitchell freeway where i have never seen a set of traffic lights so it was infact a multanova (see details here)

road racing is stupid and irresposible yet people still do it, and almost everyone has at some point in time. i agree with djr81 as i have aged and learnt but there are so many youngsters in these forums that are still wearing their superman suits and so are (in their minds) impervious to all things bar kryptonite... until they hit a car/tree/wall/person at speed.

nothing anyone says in here will change a speeders mind not to plant the right foot... we make the decisions to drive the way we want to and so long as we are all willing to accept the good and the bad of our actions then just let things be.

personally i would much rather see everyone on the track when they need a release as i would regret the day i read a new thread in here "SAUWA member ******* fatal accident"

drive safe everyone

p.s. CLOSE THE F**KING THREAD ALREADY!!!

IBTL!

hehehehehehe

yeah... lets just change topics in here

anyone know what price a kilo of coleslaw is at woolworths/coles/action/farmer jacks

[djr81]

Peoples ability to ignore good advice & to externalize blame for things has always amazed me.

For the doubters I can only say this. Try some proper motorsport. You won't look back.

Now please kill the thread Dan, before we lose any more IQ points.

Well maybe just admire the fact that someone on this forum can differentiate between lose & loose.

LOL. Admire, admire. It did not go unnoticed. You, sir, are like bat's piss.

You stand out like a stream of gold when all around you is darkness.

Cheers.
