Today on Regency rd just before main north rd heading towards regency tafe I was doing about 20k over speed limit and noticed a mint green police commodore on right lane (facing me) taking a photo... I'm not sure if it was me tho... do cops take photos only in their direction or both directions? cause there was another maroon xr6 driving past cop car on their lane at the same time and not sure if cops got me, him or both...

Either way... if they got me I will just appeal and get my licence back lol

the cameras on the south eastern freeway are just to monitor traffic flow and accident situations, to close down lanes etc.

im not sure if they target trucks for average speed between two points, but am very sure that they dont target cars. in any case they would still have to send a police car to witness you speeding and pull you over.

on the freeway the thing to look out for is at the u-turn points, thats where the cops cars sit with there cameras and also under some of the bridges. the hahndorf bridge etc.

I got my first speeding fine in 10 years today :O .... only 70 in a 60, but still $203 .... I saw the mobile camera flash go off - it was facing the other way and was in a bad spot where a few lanes converge and I was gunning a little bit to merge around a parked car on Newton Road :D I assume that if I was doing 69 it wouldn't have gone off, since I hear the up to 10km/h amnesty is still in affect.

i think the amenesity that you speak off is 5% and not 10kmp

not quite sure on this but could someone elaborate on this please

Well I spend ALL DAY on the road and almost always have my cruise set on 66/67km/h .... like I said this is the first time I have been flashed in over 10 years.

I was once told by a cop that they generally give up to 10km/h over the speed limit on cameras, as 10% is the legal allowable error on your cars speedo, and then they have a little bit more headroom for the cameras not being perfect.

no amnesty is not in affect, also its not 10% and even if it was 10% on top of 60kph is 66kph i got flashed also the morning Luke hit the bin i was doing 68 in a 60 i bought 202 tickets to the policeman's ball

hey mate

I too am a speedo watcher. look at EVERYTHING all the time, habit from 10yrs of fast Hills road riding

you know that youve done nothing wrong so dont sweat it, take it alllllll the way if something comes of it

oh, no accident ever (bar a 2kmph zx7r drop 10metrs from home, black ice patch) and no speeding fine or any sort of infringement since yr 2000.

2 speeding fines since L plates, one on bike in 1998 (10kms over, merging lanes on long weekend monday arvo) and one in VR in the city west tce 67 in 60 zone.

thats it (bar an incident on P plates which I took to court, contested with evidence & previous bargain session with prosecutor, and won with the judge)

I suggest to everyone to learn to LOOK everywhere, all the time. hard in a tin-top, try road riding and if you survive 5yrs + on the streets then you'll be street-wise for your surroundings, and most likely never have a crash or traffic infringement, ever, 'cause you know the right place & the right time to 'give it a bit' and to 'cruise and watchful'

Look at everything, every second. Should be a rotating system based on 1,3,& 5 sec "scans", ie every second in front, every 3rd second your side/rear surroundings, every 5 secs your speed and gut feel, intertwined......

.. never mind me

stupid patches/tablets

(knees) :(

19 years on a bike for me mate. I rarely get caught speeding and can't remember the last time I had a car crash. I scan, scan, scan everything. I can usually pick the stupid drivers in the traffic before they've made their stupid move.

I'm always cautious on where and when I give my cars or bikes a squirt. I must be doing something right! :)

Track days ftmfw :banana:

The camera near holden hill police station (heading East) has periods where it just goes nuts. You leave the lights and when you are half way through the intersection off it goes. I have had my picture taken half a dozen times over the past 6 months and never heard anything so I wouldn't worry if I was you. Even of the camera is faulty the chances of the radar being also faulty is unlikely, so they will have a nice picture of you with the speed tag saying 60km/h.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
