Wow, that is completely true dontexist. Not one media here has spoke about cameras in the UK getting the flick.

I wonder if there is Government, greedflex behind this to keep the media quiet in Australia?

Did you also see the hoon car get crushed? I rather they donate these vehicles to be confined to test tracks, donated to tafes or schools for students to work on in mechanic classes etc.

Also, with the loose and broad term use of hoon these days, YOU could be next.
Failing to indicate and swiping fast across a lane? HOON!

When hoon laws came into effect in this state, it was clear cut what makes you a hoon because only select things could land your car in 'jail'. Now anything "stupid" you do you are branded a hoon.

While the UK abolishes 40% of cameras, we keep putting up cameras like its some sort of epidemic disease thats spreading across the state.

"The fixed digital school zone camera on the Kingsway at Miranda took photos of cars outside school zone times, and as a result incorrectly fined drivers for speeding"

It was enforcing the 40Km/h limit outside of school zone times.

I believe the TIRTL's have no connection to the speed camera, they are just there for data logging purposes, like a lot of the TIRTLs that are popping up everywhere on Sydneys roads.

I'll stand corrected, but nowhere has any of the RTA stuff has specifically said they would be white - that's been just common conjecture punted around by the media circus based on the fact that the one vehicle the RTA/Redflex wheeled out for the media circus was white.

I have seen recent reports from drivers in other Forums they are also using BLACK Ford vans to house the speed cameras.
Just like the RTA a/holes to give out some disinformation saying they are all white vans.
PS...update : just been surfing other Forums and it seems the sixth Ford Territory is a Dark Blue one.
Seems the RTA is lying about only 1 Ford covering Metro Sydney, as I have seen a van roster and they are all being used in Metro Sydney at present.
Lying bastards, why am I surprised.

Nothing to threat mate. It would be almost impossible to see one in Sydney. There is only 6 operating.

Considering how much there is in Melbourne, I hardly ever see one here too and I'm on the roads a fair bit.

So chances are you will never see one unless you drive to where it is.

ALSO, in sydney its not a pathetic 3KM/h and I think its still 10% in sydney and also at least you can tell because its a white ford and there is writing on the doors and a sign after the camera, not to mention two cameras on top of the ford.

Here, the cars come in all shapes and sizes and colours and everything is completely concealed.

NSW again has it better then Victoria.
