Hey guys,

Just wondering, if a speed camera is parked on the side of the road and its getting dark (not fully dart just yet but dark enough to put you lights on). Would the speed camera flash as you pass it if you are speeding?

Thanks for the info. :)

You guys seem pretty knowledgeable about camera's. Cops sitting on the side of the road with the radar gun, there is an idiot in the outside lane doing about 117, when he reaches the cop he's dead level with the nose of my car....vicpol/speed camera likely to misread it, and think that I'm doing 117 or the ugly little Corolla next to me???

the road side cameras used to have big ugly flash boxes 5m in front of the car. then they started integrating the flashes into a bar mounted on a nudge bar... now they are going infrared, which works day and night. technology advancements mean more revenue!

If there is someone else in the picture from a camera car then no one will be fined, if it is a laser gun then they are accurate enough to be able to pin point either car.

I rang the police earlier, because when I was bringing the Skyline back Tuesday night I went past a cop car on the side of the road with a radar gun, the guy in the outside was flogging it at about 117 in a 110 zone, but as we got level with the cop the guy was dead level with me (I wasn't speeding) so I was worried that it could get confused, I've asked other people and they all seemed to say the same thing, that they could get me for it.

So the rule on cops with radar guns:

The cop MUST give chase. If after he begins the chase he feels he can't catch you, or it poses a risk they must give up and take down your plate number. Once you stop it's up to the cops discretion if you get a fine/warning ect

Camera Cars:

Issues an infringement notice in the mail.

"Red Light" Cameras:

Will Flash. Sends out an Infringement notice

Ive only seen the flash ones mounted on the cars front bar in the South East, but havnt seen the infrared ones yet, besides the ones that check for rego that then further down the road you have like 2 to 5 cop cars waiting to get on the chase.. :domokun:

wouldn't be surprised if they put them there due to it goes from 60 zone off the freeway then hits 40 zone past the school then back to 60 before doncaster road then up to 70 past micky dee's

and everytime i go through that 40 zone - i rarely see people slow down.. so wouldnt be such a bad place to put them..

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
