The reason why they only took photos from behind was so the flash didn't blind and/or scare the driver, potentially causing him to swerve and cause an accident.

Do you know how they have overcome that problem?

reason for not doing it was cause motorbike dont have a front number plate so its descrimination.

however you will c motorbikes with front plates very soon

also fixed speed cameras generally only work in one direction

very soon they will be bi-directional

dont know about the technology for the flash just know about the cameras

prime example being the mount ousely (woollongong) cameras that will start working shortly

Dunno about them worried about 'discrimination'... I'd say they were more worried about losing a few bucks due to not being able to identify the vehicle.

Good luck to em getting a numberplate on the front of many bikes... there's nowhere to put it. I know on my bike, the only places it could possibly go is:

1) Over the headlight

2) On the windscreen

3) Below the headlight, fouling on the front wheel at full travel

And not one of those areas could satisfactorily accomodate a large, flat plate. They are a bunch of tossers.

The real reason behind NOT taking pictures from the front of the vehicles was privacy laws. Wouldnt be great disputing a fine, having the picture sent out to you and your wife standing beside you when you opened the letter with the pic showing your girlfriend in the passenger seat. It was brought about by the privacy act.....

Guys I have been issued with a speeding fine, which was photographed front on I asked for the photo and the photo is that clear that if i was sticking my toung out you could see it. By the way this was taken almost two years ago. I'll get it scanned and put in on the forum.

no there wont. this argument/discussion/debate comes up a couple of times a year and both sides stick vehemently to their guns saying that they have it from a reliable source etc.

well, here's a thought.

check the back issues of AMCN and Two Wheels for the past 10 years and you'll see that it has become such a long tradition that they now have April fools jokes in these and other publications saying that this will take effect as of (insert date here).

In short Rubbish.

privacy

na they just blank out everyone except the driver, so this no issues there

Beg to differ. Privacy legistlation (IN THIS STATE - NSW) says that you can't. This needs to be ammended and as of today (27/12/2002) it hasn't been.

also fixed speed cameras generally only work in one direction very soon they will be bi-directional

Sorry, but this is incorrect too. The cameras at the bottom of Ousley are on the other side of the road to what we're used to, i.e. the same side of the road as you is USUALLY the side that takes the photo. Not in this case. You will notice that when next you drive past them that they are placed so as to catch all lanes in both directions.

e.g. The South bound camera is on the Western side of the road and catches ALL 3 lanes. The two coming down Ousley as well as the traffic from the on-ramp and the lanes from the gong heading south... NOT the two lanes going towards Sydney.

Similarly, the North bound camera is on the Eastern side of the road, staring you in the eye as you round the bottom bend of Mt Ousley Rd on your way down. This is so as to catch ALL traffic Sydney bound and not just those BEFORE the Uni on ramp.

Worth it for you Sydney guys to keep an eye out cos you wont notice them straight away. Of course, as with all fixed speed cameras, they have to be posted and they are not yet. I imagine that they will pay for themselves fairly quickly though.

All the best,

Adrian

mt ousley speed cameras r on trial for oncomming traffic not bi-directional (fact).

im led to belive that they use a standard flash (which doesnt sound to safe to me)

another reason for taking the oncomming photo is cause they can get truckies that speed.

just make sure that you slow down earlier

My only speeding ticket was from a car-mounted camera, taken at night, from the front, with a bright flash. In early-ish 1999, in Sydney. I was going 72 in a 60 zone in the middle of the night with no other cars around on a wide and brightly lit road. I wonder how many lives were saved by that ticket I got :P

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
