Sh1t.. When did that change? What happens to all the small business owners with fleet cars out on the road? Do they have to take the points if they can't work out which one of their workers was driving the car? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? So they don't car who was driving - they just want the $ obviously...

Yet another reason for me to say Perth laws are a maggot on the polished turd called our freedom here in Oz.. You can't do anything in this town without some idiot telling you how to do it "safely".  

For example - my gf wasn't allowed to take 10 bricks she bought from a brickyard unless she tied a rope in front of them so they couldn't slide forward and covered them. So she put a piece of nylon in front and a tshirt over the bricks. How the f*k is that safe? Why should someone be telling her how to do transport 10 bricks? Apparently it's a law in Perth?

f*kin stupid F*kers... We're all being brainwashed. Perth will be a true old person's retirement town within the next 10 years. Mark my words!

So true.

mmm sounds like the ones have have in victoria. Although they are even more sneaky, can be any type of car parked on the side of the road, claped out bomb, commodore, even see a hz ute with the camera gear on it. they are really easy to pick on major roads though... oh let me see car parked in emergency lane, slow down to have a look.... what this black bar on the front. ahh camera.

Good thing is you can actually see these camera cars instead of the mulitnovas on the highways. gives you more time to slow down.

Yeh too true, i always slow down for emergency lane ppl. Ever since i was drving along and some ****tard in teh emergency lane figures that he/she will pull out into the left lane before gathering momentum, which im sure we all know is downright stupid. Indicator goes on and u have a car doing 20kmhr 50m ahead, do the math.

The one i saw over east was on a hyundai softroader

multinova cameras use only a 35mm lens so to get you clearly you need to be within 50mt of it to register that you are speeding then when you get within 20 mt it will then take your happy pic but if you have seen the camera in time and apply the brakes then it can not get a clear and accurate reading as it needs to take 3 pics of the car and all 3 pics must have the same speed recorded on it....

with the 3 lanes thing it still works but not as effectively which is why from time to time you will see the cameras on the other side of the road

i just came across one of these new cameras today on Albany Hwy.. was fixed on the roof of a police car parked on the verge..  

no signs at all tho

Saw that one too, your right was no signs :D lucky the car in front was going like 40km or else i would have got done

Remember people, they are in WA to SAVE LIVES!!!!!!!!

(which is why a very big majority of them are used where there is very unlikely to be a fatal accident, let alone an accident).

Just too bad that they resort to sneak tactics yet again to raise even more money, but it is just a thing we will have to get used to I'm afraid.

Call it fascist if u will but ppl still accept it as commonplace, nobody has a big enough petition yet to do anything about it. Remember these laws are passed through the house of reps and they represent us....... hmm but who pays their wages? ;) bit of conflict of interest there eh. All the fines go to their soft dollar benefits, mmmm sheep skin chairs.

I really dont see a problem with this kinda thing, its the game we play when we break the road rules. Trouble is i reckon this kind of action makes citizens disrespect the law and therefore it enforcers. "Its all about respect right, u respect me and ill respect u" :P thats falling apart.

Still next time i see one ill grill the cops for what its about, they generally dont mind having a chat.

I think you have to be doing well over 300kmh for this to happen... maybe they are just really slow with sending the fines out. It took 4 months before I got one once

yeah, me and some friends have done the maths before and it came out that you have to be going the speed of sound for it to miss you or to get blured.

it's called "duty of care laws" thanks to those ****ing idiot lawyers who devise never ending money spinning laws to fill their pockets with.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
