ix9 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 as they were this morning on the Kwinana Freeway... Speed camera at Mundijong Road Cop bikes on Mortimer road Coppers at Thomas road Coppers at Anketell road all different spots.... plus about 3 cops pulling people over. MAJOR BLITZ I TELL YA! Thank god I wasn't driving as I prolly would have got done at ONE of the FOUR overpasses' they were hiding at :tool: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7377-avoid-freeways/#findComment-108428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Yeah, I was going down the Kwinana Fwy this morning at my usual brisk pace and noticed a couple of police bikes had pulled a REX over. I must admit I will be slowing down during the holiday season, only have 3pts left. I think that on cruises during this time of year a strict no speeding policy should be adhered to, cause if one person starts then the rest of us will want to go the little bit faster etc. Safe driving everyone.

RadiuM Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 hmmm, tis why i never go up the freeway. I head up rockingham road then across Gibbs/Russell to the freeway. Except this morning a commodore had lost it somehow before Russell Road on Rockingham Road and mashed a poll.. Caused quite a little backup of traffic, we had to Detour through an industrial complex. Came across all the cops on the Freeway though after that, lucky for people whom flash their headlights. I thank thee. Also saw a R33 this morning with a kit and crap, thought nothing of it, afterall.. it is just a 33 .. then to find later on a chick was driving it.. sweet nice clean car too. [** 25 WA] were the plates. Shaun Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7377-avoid-freeways/#findComment-108481 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 to catch the brainless ones who go kewl just went through a speed trap i can speed now. Yeah, but that's not fair to people like Hicks who weren't born with a brain.:bahaha: It does seem that it is a knee jerk reaction to the ban on speed camera's along the freeway, and I don't think we should blame the cops, there just doing as there told, its the politician :whackit: that end up with the money. So they can spend it on chauffer driven cars. See'ya :burnout: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7377-avoid-freeways/#findComment-108692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSIKO Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 hahahaha I heard once when a mate was going down south, they had a camera set up, and then a couple of k's on, they had a policeman waiting, and then a few more k's from there another camera haha, lots of people I think would've been caught that day, and personally I think it's a brilliant idea, and like skyzerr said, peopel think they've gone past the heat, and now they're free to boot it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7377-avoid-freeways/#findComment-108698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33_Cam Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Originally posted by GTS-t VSPEC It does seem that it is a knee jerk reaction to the ban on speed camera's along the freeway whats this about speed cameras on the freeway?? are they banned??? and i saw a speed camera setup on a main road, where they had one camera, then another one down a bit further and also another one on the other side of the road, that was pretty good idea, i wonder how many ppl they would have got with that???

skyzerr33 Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 but it also works for the type of people who when they get caught speed up cause there pissed off. i know one guy who got done 3 times in 5km with the same setup as the described psiko for a lovely 10 points and many $$$ or the guy on the last double demerits weekend who did 20 points in one day Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7377-avoid-freeways/#findComment-108736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Apparently the cops/government brought in some new by-law to allow them to start using the cameras on the freeways again. Nothing good lasts forever. Saw cops on bikes with hand-held radar guns on Alabny Hwy just then, looks like nowhere is safe to speed.

deesh Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Originally posted by Jon R33 I thank the Gadget God for the good old radar detector, best money I ever spent. Yep, i just invested in a new bel, saved my ass once already. I dont think anyone here can say they *never* speed, and anyone who does is obviously lying, there are always situations where a bit of speeding is acceptable, and that is always where the police are. They should concentrate only on problem areas, rather than places they can hide good. Speed cameras arent made to increase road safety, they increase government revenue, no matter how the politicians like to spin it, thats why they wont stop using them, and they wont ban them from roads like the freeway.

Steve Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Don't know how much difference all the speed cameras make - except to the pockets of the pollies. Speed isn't the problem on the roads, its drivers who seem to think that they are bulletproof and have a god given right to drive in any manner they wish, regardless of where its done. Bloody Pollies chasing revenue is all - Feel better after that vent:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7377-avoid-freeways/#findComment-109245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
